Winnetou

Winnetou is the American-Indian hero of several novels written by Karl May (the best selling German writer of all time), in German language including the sequel Winnetou I to Winnetou III. According to Karl May's story, first-person-narrator Old Shatterhand encounters Winnetou and, after initial dramatic events, a true friendship among Old Shatterhand and the Apache Winnetou arises; on many occasions they give proof of great fighting skill but also of compassion for other human beings.
