Aeneas is a playable character in Warriors: Legends of Troy. He is the son of the Dardanian prince, Anchises, one of Troy's neighboring allies. Due to his family's ties to the Trojan king, Priam, he is a steadfast believer for the Trojan cause. Though young and seemingly inexperienced, Aeneas is a crafty, quick-witted warrior on the field. He tries to stifle arrogance with abiding confidence, seeking to remain broadminded if possible.
Role in Game[]
Aeneas defends Lyrnessos but is defeated by Achilles. He retreats as the Greeks take over. Priam sends Aeneas to find allies. Aeneas convinces Queen Penthesilea to help Troy. Aeneas advises her to seek cleansing from Priam. Aeneas joins Penthesilea in battle. He tries to persuade her not to challenge Achilles. She accepts her fate and fights until the end.
When Troy is on the verge of ruin, Aeneas hurries to Priam's palace and finds Paris. The cursed prophetess, Kassandra, appears and proclaims that Aeneas is destined to create a new empire that will be greater than Greece and Troy combined. She warns him that the fallen walls will leave him to safety. Ignoring her words, Paris forces Aeneas to depart from Troy and to save himself and his family. Aeneas promptly rescues his loved ones and other survivors.
Once this task is finished, Agamemnon brandishes the heads of Priam and Paris and proclaims that he will conquer all of the cities in the land. Disgusted by the king's dastardly act, Aeneas defeats him and escapes capture from the Greek army as the walls of Troy collapse. Remembering Kassandra's final prophecy, Aeneas climbs the debris and escapes. He then leads the survivors to sail away from the smoking ruins of Troy.

Fighting Style[]
Aeneas is similar to Hektor and the Trojan version of Patroklos. However, he is not as agile and his slower speed affects all his actions, including dodging. Players should be cautious when using him. Aeneas is tough but not as tough as Penthesilea or Ajax.
On the other hand, Aeneas excels at defending against groups of enemies with his circular slashes and wide-ranging shield swings. His larger shield allows for stunning attacks with a wider range. His unique ability to hit multiple times with his sword is useful in one-on-one fights if timed correctly. Aeneas can break through an opponent's defense without relying on parrying if used carefully.
Greek Mythology[]
In the Illiad, Aeneas was the son of Aphrodite, goddess of love. Although his role was minor in the war, his real adventure started when the Greeks sacked Troy. As Poseidon told Achilles, Aeneas was destined to rule the Trojans and a new kingdom. The kingdom Poseidon spoke of would later be called the Roman Empire. Aeneas whilest he was in the Underworld to see his father's shade, saw visions of the glory of Rome. The triumph of Scipio in the Punic Wars, and even the glorious Julius Caesar on his return from Egypt. This caused Aeneas to go further into Italy after leaving the Underworld and back to Cumae. Then he married Lavina, Daughter of King Latinus and thus founded the City of Rome.
