There is nothing impossible to him who will try.
Born in Pella, Macedon. Tutored by Aristotle. Tamed Bucephalus at 12 when grown men could not. By 30, I had conquered from Greece to India -- the largest empire the world had seen. Gaugamela, Issus, the Siege of Tyre, the Hindu Kush. Hephaestion was my closest companion, my Patroclus. I never lost a battle in 15 years. Tip: Speed and audacity win more than numbers. At Gaugamela, I charged Darius directly through the center while his flanks were still deploying. Cut the head off the snake. My men followed me because I bled with them -- always first through the breach.
