I kinda like the notion of a classic Steve Reeves type. Could be a heroism paladin, certainly, but zealot barbarian would keep things loinclothy.
Might make that guy a demigod, and give him an all-mortal half-brother companion. Maybe a rogue inquisitive, for a brains + brawn combo? Or a rogue scout, for more of a scrappy little guy?
Pankration monk would be cool . . . Open Fist + Grapple feat, I guess?
Hexblade warlock might work for a hero entrusted with a magic weapon . . . sort of an avatar of one of the weapons wielded by their patron?
There's a couple of possible options for a sphinx-themed character. Inscrutable, obviously . . . Knowledge or Arcana cleric?
