Hendo and Nog were the first guys that came to mind for me. They personify sheer toughness and the will to win.
A boxer, Wayne McCullough, was once asked about why he had never been dropped in over 60 fights in his pro career (McCullough is famous for his tough beard). McCullough said, and I paraphrase, that part of what makes for a tough chin is the mentality, that no matter how badly you get hurt, your will and your heart makes sure that you don't hit the deck or lose control of your faculties. For me, that's what Hendo and Nog most certainly are about.
