A Germanic hero who defeated the Roman Legions many times. The children of Germanic royals were often recruited into the Roman army to fight for Rome. For this time, the target was their compatriots on the North Bank of Rhine. The young Arminius gave up on his pleasant life in Rome and helped the Germans fight. As an officer of the cavalry legion, he had the knowledge of the Roman army, serving as the strongest weapon. When Varus broke into Germania with three Roman legions camped in Teutoburg Forest, Arminius realized that his chance for revenge had come. The rampant vegetation and narrow roads forced the Roman legions to lengthen their formation. Before the Romans could adapt to the muddy roads, massive raged Germans, led by Arminius, rushed out of the forests in all directions. The Roman legions were out of order and had to face the most tragic defeat in the Roman Empire’s history. With this glorious victory, Arminius awakened the Germans' morale and became the first national hero.
