You have to replace he or him with a name. That sort of thing in English isn't going to change.
Latin can do all sorts of stuff, but it's dead and horrible. I spent 3 years learning it. Currently it's not pronounced properly and Church Latin isn't what Romans (a nasty evil empire) had. Too many people since have tried to emulate the Empire days. Look at source of Kaiser and Tsar. Or the names in USA such as Senate, Capitol etc. Far too much worship of Roman stuff, esp. in England upper classes in the past. Ask Jerusalem in 67 AD, or Carthage, or the Greeks, or European Celts (Keltoi). Oh they are dead. Their cities and cultures destroyed by Romans that wrote lies about them.
