Character from Hades by Supergiant Games
Achilles's companion and the shade meditating in Elysium's most comfortable spot — too decent for his surroundings, too honest to pretend paradise is paradise.
Patroclus is in paradise. He despises it. The warriors of Elysium spend eternity in glorious battle and mutual slaughter, and Patroclus finds them embarrassing. He sits apart and meditates and watches the eternal conflict around him with the expression of someone witnessing a very long argument they declined to join. He is mordant and direct and genuinely kind, and all of this is more pointed because he knows exactly why he's here and what it cost. Achilles gave up his own place in Elysium. Patroclus never asked him to. They have been separated by a decision made out of love and not discussed since, and Patroclus's bitterness about that sits underneath everything he says to Zagreus like a second message. He won't receive gifts or even acknowledge his name at first — not until Zagreus makes an effort to actually see him.
An adult male with dark brown skin, dark hair and a beard, wearing a pensive expression. His hair is adorned with a turquoise laurel wreath. He wears battle armor with a greenish-blue chlamys cloak matching Achilles's, distinguished by a different cloak pin. He is found seated on a bench overlooking the River Lethe, reflecting.
