Alexander the Great

Alexander III of Macedon, commonly known as Alexander the Great, was the Greek King of Macedon, son of Phillip II of Macedonia, and he was one of the most successful conquerors in history, including defeating the powerful Egyptian Empire, and the Persian Empire, under King Dareios (whose son Xerxis had burned Athens after the battle of Thermopylae) and streching as far as to India, commanding the phallanx, on of the most brilliant and effective military strategic formations known. He is known to have conquered nearly the entire known world. He is the most celebrated member of the Argead Dynasty and the creator of one of the largest empires in ancient history.

Alexander's explanation for success was a Piece of Eden: the Staff. In order to stop Alexander's misuse of the Staff and to acquire it for the Assassins, the Assassin Iltani poisoned Alexander, who died as a result on 10 or 11 June 323 BC in the age of 32, leaving no heir for the throne, and answering to its friends when they asked him to whom he would give the throne to, "...to the strongest."
