A centurion was a warrior who had one hundred men under his command. They fought for the Roman empire, and were chosen for their skill in combat, as well as leadership ability. Once a man became a centurion, he would be one until his death. Whereas a regular soldier could retire, a centurion had no such option. A centurion was always in the front, leading his troops to battle; the most dangerous place to be on the battlefield.
The centurion would've fucked up the rajput in real life. Deadliest warrior is an inaccurate television show.

100 shots in 100 minutes.
In Ancient Rome, the Centurions were the rough equivalent of junior officers. Most commonly they commanded a 'cohort' of legionairres, which was 80-100 individuals. In battle, centurions could be easily distinguished by the transverse crest of horsehair or feathers, dyed red, upon their helmet.
Centurions are some of the best examples of leaders in history. They, like many great men, lead from the front; whatever the men under the centurion's command were doing, the centurion was doing it right there with them, whether that be chopping down logs for fortifications or fighting and dying. As such, centurions had a much higher mortality rate than officers in other armies - but only a few empires have come close to matching the size of Rome.
Although Rome in the west dissolved, the centurions continued through the Byzantine Empire in the east, in this case renamed 'kentarch'. Same thing pretty much.

Vegetius: The centurion in the infantry is chosen for his size, strength and dexterity in throwing his missile weapons and for his skill in the use of his sword and shield; in short for his expertness in all the exercises. He is to be vigilant, temperate, active and readier to execute the orders he receives than to talk; Strict in exercising and keeping up proper discipline among his soldiers, in obliging them to appear clean and well-dressed and to have their arms constantly rubbed and bright.

100 shots. 100 minutes. Can be done with any alcoholic beverage not just beer. 1 person times on a watch and the participants must take another shot the moment a minute has passed. It's especially dificult to reach 100.

Damien: Jarrod is a centurion
Stuart: What do you mean?
Damien: Jarrod has slept with over 100 women. 100 is a century, so that makes him a Centurion. I'm at 90.

As other have said "100 Shots of Beer in 100 Minutes".
But another rule is, if you accept the challenge, then dont complete centurion - the winning player gets to Slap each non competing challenger as hard as they can.
