Hannibal Barca was the general, but not by elephant - they walked. There were war elephants in the army, but they only carried their drivers.
Hannibal is the Carthaginian general who brought elephants through the alps during the second Punic war.

Hannibal
Hannibal was the Carthaginian general in question. Hannibal led both his troops and his elephants over the Alps and into Italy during the Second Punic War.
Yes. They are the elephant's nose, and it sucks water up through, and blows air out through its nose.
There were no 'secret weapons'. Scipio planned to counter the Carthaginian war elephants by letting them through his lines and dealing with them from the flank and rear rather than confronting them. He also gathered a superiority in cavalry by befriending the Numidian prince Massinissa. This cavaly drove off the Carthaginian cavalry and returned to assault the Carthaginian rear.
Through its trunk
Only if he has a weapon. Recall Hannibal the commander of the Carthaginian armies. In his march toward Rome with battle elephants, the riders were equipped with a large iron wedge and a maul. In the event an elephant panicked the rider was instructed to drive the wedge through his mount, in effect stopping it by killing it almost instantly. Primitive man hunted mammoths and perhaps mastodons (very large Proboscidea--same order as elephants) with little more than spears and torches.
Hamilcar Barca was one of the famous generals. He led the Carthaginian army in the first Punic War till 241 BC. His son was also a famous general, as he led the Cartaginians aganst Rome in the second Punic War. He led his army through Spain and crossed the Alps (with his 70 elephants), he won a lot of victories over the Romans but failed to capture Rome itself. In the end , he was defeated at Zama (Africa, 202 BC).
