King Leonidas, Pat Tillman. Those are the two I could think of off the top of my head, I’m sure there are more if you do a little digging.

He cheated on his wife. OTOH, I did hear he’s a nice guy (well, kids love him, I don’t know much he likes kids. Not that that is part of “virtue” in and of itself)

From your Charity comment, I suspect you are referring to a religious man…if that is the case, then I direct you to the book: Lives of the Saints in addition to looking at Jesus. St. Christopher was reported to be an abnormally large man of stature. Carrying people across a famous river during Jesus’ time (and Jesus himself), he is the Protector of Travelers. The story goes that as St. Christopher carried “toddler” Jesus, Jesus became heavier and heavier on Christopher’s shoulders. Christopher asked Jesus why? Jesus replied, because you’re carrying the world on your shoulders.
There is also the Angel, St. Michael who is the commander in chief of God’s Army. [/quote]
But I think the OP was interested in people that actually existed, not imaginary people.[/quote]
St. Christopher did exist.

This guy, a 7ft tall pirate and freedom fighter, who started a rebellion after the local lord killed his wife and children. He fought with a 7ft greatsword and was known to be able to decapitate 3 men with one swing. This guy needs a movie made about him.

And he definitely carried baby Jesus across a river? There’s no chance at all that the story might be completely made up and stupid?

And by all reports an absolutely wonderful person. Thus the virtuos requirement is fulfilled.
Eric the Red was virtuous. and all the above stated requirements.
When he wasn’t raping, killing, pillaging and plundering that is.
Give me half a decade and I’ll be benching 450, squatting 550 and deadlifting 600 for reps while curing well-known hereditary diseases and cancer.
