The king of the Rutulians, an Italian nation located about 20 miles from the eventual Rome, and Aeneas's main mortal enemy. He hoped to marry Lavinia, daughter of Latinus, and become king of the Latins. Juno, via the fury Allecto, enchants Turnus so that he'll fight Aeneas instead of accepting fate. He becomes the leader in the battle of Latins against Trojans. Despite all this, he's not extremely villainous, his main fault being his anger. He's a brave, powerful warrior. Often, his seeming cowardice is due to the attempts of Juno or his sister Juturna to save his life.
