Hektor

Hektor is a playable character in Warriors: Legends of Troy. The son of the Trojan king and Paris's older brother, he is the commander of the Trojan army. Humble, honest, yet also possessing spectacular bravery, he earns the admiration of ally and foe alike.

Role in Game
When the Trojan War begins, Hektor, the greatest of King Priam's sons, leads the Trojan army, giving them the courage to fight back against the Greeks. He also rescues civilians and helps them hurry to the city of Troy where they will be protected by the giant walls. While clearing the area of the Greeks, he is challenged to a duel by Patroklos, who calls him a fool for protecting his cowardly brother, Paris. But Hektor emerges victorious and forces Patroklos and the Greeks to retreat.

After Aphrodite rescues Paris from Menelaos, Hektor declares that he and Deiphobos cannot abandon their brother, as he is also Priam's son.

After Achilles withdraws from the war, Hektor rises as Troy's champion and leads the Trojan army once again as he defeats Ajax and pushes the Greek forces back across the river of Skamandros. After claiming more victories the Trojans regain their morale while the Greeks lose theirs. With the tides of battle turning to their favor, Hektor decides to draw out the Greeks from their camps and force them to sail back home. During the fight, he and Deiphobos find a crack in the Greek's camp wall. Hektor destroys the wall, allowing the Trojans to breach the Greek camp, but then he is confronted by a Cyclops sent by Poseidon, who warns the prince that he is fighting against divine will of Troy's fall, and no champion will live to see that. In the end, Hektor emerges victorious and slays the Cyclops, claiming that Poseidon himself chose that divine will and can change it by his own will.

Hektor's invasion causes chaos to rise among the Greeks, giving more morale to the Trojans. Some time later, during another fight, he sees that the Greeks were regaining their morale when they see Patroklos, who was disguising himself as Achilles. Hektor confronts Patroklos and the two of them fight. During the duel, Apollo intervenes and curses Patroklos, giving Hektor the opportunity to kill him. When the boy's face is revealed, the prince is shocked that he did not kill Achilles. He then takes the armor as his own spoils of war.

Before his next battle begins, Hektor bids farewell to his wife, Andromache, telling her that he knows what he has to do. On the battlegrounds, he is confronted by the real Achilles. Prior to their fight, Hektor asks him to promise that whoever wins brings the loser's body back to his people. However, Achilles claim that he will make no promise, and that he will feed the prince's body to dogs. In the end, Hektor loses as he is stabbed in the chest by Achilles. Afterwards, all of Troy mourn over his death.

Fighting Style
Hektor is the balanced character for the Trojans. In many ways, he mirrors Achilles' traits of being a beginner friendly character with good range and priority. His animations differ from his Greek counterpart to be a little quicker for the Finishers with improved recovery time for his normal attacks. Hektor's attacks are stationary compared to Achilles' attacks, making it easier to stay locked on a single target. It also hampers his range slightly so be weary when fighting against spear wielding opponents.

Trivia

 * During the Koei-Tecmo company visit in the Weekly Toro Station's broadcast, Toro and Kuro meet Hektor while wandering through the higher floors of the company building. For the sake of easy recognition of his strength and character, the program refers to him as "Troy's Guan Yu", a character who appeared earlier during the program. A scared Kuro initially mistakes Hektor as a Spartan who leads 300 men to glory, but the kitty host is soon corrected by the sub notes found within the program.
