About Patroclus in Hades

Patroclus was once a warrior of the forgotten tales from the Trojan War. He now resides in the tranquil sanctuary of Elysium. Amidst the eternal splendor of his infernal paradise, he often engages in contemplation, detached from the ceaseless battles that consume the attention of other shades in Elysium. Unlike his fervent peers who seek perpetual glory through endless combat, Patroclus finds their pursuits distasteful, viewing their violent endeavors as acts of madness rather than valor. Just like Achilles, Patroclus carries the weight of guilt and remorse for the horrors witnessed and perpetrated in life. When prompted about his past, he remains reserved, refusing to delve into the details of his battles alongside Achilles. refers to Zagreus as a "Stranger," initially maintaining a distant stance out of disinterest. Achilles assures that this aloofness is simply Patroclus's nature, suggesting it as a mark of favor, for he reserves far less flattering epithets for those he truly disdains.
