By the gods! This is what I get for not rereading the posts directly before replying. Good that I just went through the last posts again! I hadn't seen your edit because I was distracted as I was travelling, but you're correct! Pyrrhos it is!
Elephants are the beasts, realms he was at war with simultaneously include Rome, Carthage, Seleucids, Antigonos, and some smaller realms. He was a ginger and his name pretty much means that, hence why seing "red".
Tribe is the Molossans. Whilst it's a bit hyperbolic in that he had a number of weak successors follow in his footsteps, the end result was nevertheless first the loss of Molossan supremacy in Epirus and later they got hunted into extinction by the Romans.
His career got started as a hostage, his invasion of Italy (like that of one of his predecessors, Alexander the I. of Epirus) ended in failure, and like Alexander of Epirus he died in a battle. As I said in my later hints, like Alexander primarily was meant as a hint as to where (I hoped you guys would immediately zoom in on the hellenic era and those who had an extensive interest in the rise of Rome or like to read unit descriptions in EB would know him), and that the how did not happen at the same place as Alexander had failed. "I shattered the foe, and shattered myself" should be obvious from his tactic and strategic decisions with a very odd mix of brilliance and ineptitude. Like my ineptitude. Sorry again guys! Moth got a rep and it's his turn!
