Alexander the Great was born in 356 BC in Pella, Macedonia. He was tutored by Aristotle and inherited a powerful army from his father, King Philip II of Macedon. By the age of 30, Alexander had conquered the entire known world from Greece to India. However, he also displayed negative personality traits such as narcissism, arrogance, and ruthlessness that caused him to commit violent acts like slaughtering prisoners and destroying cities. While admired for his military genius and leadership qualities including courage and vision, Alexander was also criticized for his ego and considered villainous by his enemies. He died at age 33 while campaigning in Mesopotamia, without designating a successor.
