* [[Blade (Comic Book)|Blade]] in the ''[[Blade (film)|Blade]]'' series.3* Lancelot in ''[[Excalibur (film)|Excalibur]]''.
* ''[[Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children]]'': Cloud, who expertly uses a composite BFS composed of [[Bifurcated Weapon|six component swords]], either individually or in [[Dual-Wielding]] combos.
== Literature ==
* [[Belisarius Series]]: Several characters this being the Early Middle Ages. No particular mysticism is made about swords, they are merely one of the weapons appearing on the scene.
*[[1632]]: Janos Drugeth is a Hungarian cavalryman and one of the nicest characters in the whole series. [[Beware The Nice Ones|he can also run you through in a fraction of a second's thought.]] That does not mean he is a [[Sociopathic Soldier|thoughtless killer]]. It means he is so quick that that is all the time he ''needs'' to reluctantly decide you have to be killed.
* Many knights and some other characters are noted as such in ''[[A Song of Ice and Fire]]''.
** [[Posthumous Character|Ser Arthur Dayne]] is generally remembered as the quintessential "greatest swordsman," aided no doubt by his [[Thunderbolt Iron]] sword Dawn. Jaime Lannister, himself no slouch, tells Ser Loras Tyrell, "I served with Ser Arthur Dayne, the Sword of the Morning, who could have slain [all six of the other Kingsguard] with his left hand while taking a piss with his right."
