==Characteristics and Personality== A formidable semideus known for his role in the Trojan War. Achilles serves as a source of support and encouragement for [[Zagreus]]. A modest hero, despite being a renowned Greek hero, Achilles is very humble and self-deprecating. He sees no reason to regale people with stories of his past. Unlike, for example, [[Theseus]], he does not boast about the deeds that earned him fame. He seems content to guard the west wing of the [[House of Hades]] and teach Zagreus. As Hades is so distant, Achilles acts as emotional support for Zagreus, and becomes the "older male role model" for Zagreus. Achilles is cool, caring, a wise and noble mentor, and one of the few genuinely heroic heroes. Achilles is in charge and provides information and guidance about the Underworld and the [[Mount Olympus|gods of Olympus]]. It is implied that in the past, Achilles was someone very different from who we know now, and he is ashamed of who he used to be, not interested in dwelling on the past. Much calmer in his afterlife, he was famous for his Unstoppable Rage and could be a proud and arrogant warrior, like Theseus, but he grew as a person thanks to his time for reflection in the Underworld. Though not immediately apparent, it eventually becomes clear that Achilles is secretly tormented by guilt and self-loathing for the many atrocities he had both witnessed and committed while alive, especially when it came to the war with the Trojans, which also led to his death. Because of this, when questioned about the many battles he participated in, Achilles always refused to go into real detail. After accepting Zagreus as his student, he resolves to do everything in his power to ensure that Zagreus becomes a better man than he was in life. Achilles can become comically serious. He hates onions, and the funny part is that he's dead serious about it. He even says that he would rather vanish into nothingness than be forced to eat an onion again. An honorable sacrifice for true love, after his death, Hades approached Achilles with the offer to train a young man, Achilles agreed to become Zagreus' mentor, sacrificing his place in [[Elysium]] for [[Patroclus]] in return.
