Ufens

Ufens is a character in Virgil's The Aeneid as well as Silius' Punica. According to The Aeneid:

For other uses, see Ufens (disambiguation).

<poem> "Next Ufens, mountain-bred, from Nersae came to join the war; of goodly fame was he for prosperous arms: his Aequian people show no gentle mien, but scour the woods for prey, or, ever-armed, across the stubborn glebe compel the plough; though their chief pride and joy are rapine, violence, and plundered store." [1]

In The Aeneid 12.460, Ufens was killed by Gyas. In the Punica, "Ufens is carried off by an elephant after being skewered by a bayonet fastened to his tusk".
