I need a metaphor on what alexander is like for history class

[nick]

He's like an octopus (receiving and enduring many wounds, but difficult to kill).He's like a lobster (hard and tenacious during battles, but soft and weak tissue inside).He's like a computer (very nice if it works, a nuisance if it doesn't).He's like a tornado (impressive as he arrives, leaving only debree as he leaves).He's like a friend (a great joy when he is alive, a great sorrow when he is dead).Now, let's move on to another subject?
