Patroklos

Patroklos is a playable character in Warriors: Legends of Troy. He is Achilles's extraordinary friend from the battlefront who covers his friend's back in the field. Compared to Achilles, he has a cold, stoic composure and seems unapproachable. However, both men are bonded together by their distinct enjoyment for war and victory.

Role in Game
Throughout the Trojan War, Patroklos stands by Achilles' side as they fight for glory. The two of them are among the first to reach Troy and they clear the banks for the other Greeks to land. They, along with Odysseus and Ajax, are ordered by Agamemnon to secure the area for their future camp. Despite the flow of Trojan troops, the four of them successfully clear the area. Some time later, Patroklos encounters Prince Hektor and challenges him to a duel. But Patroklos ends up losing and is forced to retreat.

As the years pass, Patroklos continues to stand by Achilles and fight with him in countless battles. They even pull themselves out of the war together when Achilles gets angry at Agamemnon for being forced to give up Briseis. However, Patroklos gets fed up with Achilles when the Greeks were on the verge of defeat and he still refuses to help. Having enough, Patroklos decides to take his friend's armor, stating that the Greeks will regain their courage and will follow the armor, even to death. Achilles allows him to fight, but warns him to only push the enemy and not cross the river of Skamandros. However, Patroklos does not listen and crosses the river. He then encounters Hektor again, who mistakens him for Achilles, and the two of them fight. However, Apollo intervenes and curses Patroklos, giving Hektor the opportunity to kill him. When Patroklos' face is revealed, Hektor is shocked that he did not defeat Achilles. Afterwards, the Trojan prince strips Patroklos of his armor as spoils of battle, leaving Achilles armorless for a while.

After Achilles kills Hektor, he lays Patroklos' ashes in an golden urn, which is later used for Achilles himself after his death, and their ashes are burned together.

Fighting Style
For his lone entry in the game's story mode, Patroklos deliberately mimics Achilles' attacks with a few minor differences. In order to use his own attacks, players need to use Patroklos in the extra modes. Even so, his unique style shares many complementary traits with his friend's actions. While he may not have as much power or defense as Achilles, Patroklos strikes with better speed and slightly longer range.
