I would say it's the Muslim leader, Saladin. He was a very compassionate person both towards his allies and enemies.

Answer:

Saladin

Step-by-step explanation:

Saladin was the first sultan of Egypt and Syria, and the founder of the Ayyubid dynasty. He was also the leader of the campaign against the Crusaders in the Levant. Despite his Muslim faith, Saladin enjoyed a great reputation among Crusaders who considered him a great warrior and a compassionate man. He is also recognized as a virtuous non-Christian in The Divine Comedy.
