He participated in the Trojan War and is known as “the first warrior of Greece”. The son of Peleus, king of Thessaly, and Thetis, the goddess of the sea. He has always famous for his courage, beauty and physical strength. He had great respect for Athena and Hera.
When he was born, her goddess mother took her ankle and put him in the Styx River and soaked him in the Styx. But because the ankle she held was not wet, it became a weakness in the future. His body is almost invulnerable, and he has a war wisdom and powerful strength that surpasses that of mortals. As long as he goes to the Greek coalition, he will be invincible under his leadership.
