It's Alexander and it isn't even close.
I think Hannibal is a more fascinating individual.

How so? Conventional story - dad has a bunch of sons, those sons are all badasses. One of them takes on Rome. An underdog story, for sure.
But, Alexander? His mother was a witch and who likely killed his father and enough of his family to put young Alexander on the throne. He was at the perfect time and place (and with his father's army) in history to conquer the known world. Wounded (seriously) 9 times in battle. Never lost a battle. Was a student of legendary philosopher Aristotle (himself a student of Plato, who studied under Socrates). Rumors persist that Aristotle poisoned Alexander to prevent another round of wars of conquest.
