That's an incredibly stupid idea. European Heroes? You mean like, people who are considered heroes to every European? That makes no sense, European countries have been fighting amongst each other since their creation, why should I consider someone like Basil II a hero even though I am also European? The Polish king might have done some good for Polish people, but bad for other Europeans. Therefore, none of their figures can be considered "pan-European Heroes". Pan-Europeanism is a terrible idea, pan-anything is a terrible idea.

No matter how people see him, "Averroes" was andalusí, and thus a spaniard and therefore european. Not that it matters much, but I don't think there was much arabian blood in him, if at all. Very few arabs came to al-andalus. It is well documented.

Ivan Sirko
Zaporozhian Cossack military leader. He served as colonel of Vinnytsia regiment (1658–60) and was elected Kish otaman of the Zaporozhian Host eight times in the 1660s and 1670s. Sirko participated in the Cossack-Polish War (1648–57), campaigned against the Tatars in the lower Dnieper River region and the Perekop Isthmus in the late 1650s, and joined the Varenytsia Uprising (1664–5). He led Cossack campaigns against the Crimean Tatars (1668) and against Turkish fortifications in Ochakiv and Islam Kerman (1670–1). In 1678, together with the army of Hetman Ivan Samoilovych and the Russian army of G. Romodanovsky, he halted the advance of Turkish and Tatar forces on Right-Bank Ukraine (see Chyhyryn campaigns, 1677–8).

Well, since I'm Italian, I'll just have to mention Nero, or as we sometimes call him, Nerone. Yeah, he burned Rome down but tbh that was kinda poetic albeit very sad.

The answer is really simple.
Everyone which prevented Europe from becoming a chaliphate sacrificing their lives against the spread of islam. There would be no europe, no western values, no humanism, no enlightment if Islam had occupied the who Europe.
