What's the word that describes the one who helps the weak, helps the neighbours, and who is brave and kind? Is there one word for all of that?

Thanks in advance

generous, kind
(but they don't quite cover "brave")

Thanks for your try. I want a word that covers all of them. There is such a word in Arabic "Moro'a" and I'm looking at its exact translation if therte is.

Thanks a lot

If we can't find a word to cover both brave and accommodating,should we sum them up to be brave-accommodating?

The translation of "Moro'a" here by these Arabic-English specialists is different:
------
"Moro'a" (virility)

[link]
------

Virile is somewhat related to brave, but not that much to kind.

The first word that came to my mind is 'altruistic' (not sure the bravery fits, but it could).

that's
unselfish, generous
not something to do with bravery

Hello all,

Marius, the link that you added doesn't work.

I know that there are different interpretations for "moro'a", but I'm asking about the one that means being king and brave at the sametime.

The link certainly works for me here.
