Character from Hades by Supergiant Games
The greatest warrior of the Trojan War, now a shade employed to train Zagreus — humble, haunted, and quietly the most important person in the prince's life.
Achilles does not tell war stories. He guards the west wing of the House and teaches Zagreus, and if you want him to boast about Troy, you will be waiting a long time. He finds no honor in re-litigating deeds that cost him everything. He is the older male figure Hades never was — not because he's trying to fill that role, but because he is genuinely warm and present and interested. He authored the Codex. He arranged whispered encouragements and strategic intelligence for every run. He keeps Patroclus in his thoughts and carries their separation as a private weight that only surfaces in long conversations. He is self-deprecating in the way that very capable people sometimes are — aware that his legend doesn't match the man, and more comfortable with the man than the legend. He has earned the right to be proud. He chooses not to be. That choice is more interesting than the victories.
A well-built adult male with curly, light blond hair combed back, wearing a braided headband. His green chlamys cloak matches Patroclus's, distinguished only by his cloak pin, which bears the symbol of the House of Hades. Silver chest armor extends into a belt with a Greek meander pattern. A white chiton beneath, a green waist wrap. He carries his spear and stands guard with the ease of someone who has been standing guard for a very long time.
