Boromir's guess the famous game #389 [Hannibal Barca is the famous person, Carrot wins!]


I'm thinking of some famous figure, it can be a philosopher, politician, entertainer, scientist, fictional character, criminal, animal, being, etc.
2. You need to ask me a yes or no question about this person, for example, "Is the person still alive?," "Does the person work in the entertainment industry?," any question you can think of that helps you to reveal the answer. The host answers with yes or no only.
3. Maximum 1 question and 2 guesses per player per answer.
4. The winner can either start a new game or say "pass." In case of a pass, the OP gets to start another.
5. Can't edit a question or guess once posted. Delete ONLY.

14: White (i.e. lighter skinned, not ethnically European)? Difficult question, as there's no clear surviving description of his appearance, but most likely he looked the way most North Africans look now, lighter skinned than most sub-Saharan Africans but darker-skinned than most Europeans.
15: Born in Algeria? No
16: Died in Africa? No

Carrot wins with Hannibal Barca, Carthaginian general and considered one of the greatest military leaders of all time, who famously fought the Romans in the Second Punic War, marching an army and even elephants through the Alps to invade Italy.
