Patroclus

Patroclus was a warrior in the Achaean army during the Trojan War, and was Achilles' life-long companion and romantic partner. He currently resides in Elysium, and is one of the few shades there who does not attack Zagreus, instead offering an assortment of items, much like Sisyphus and Eurydice.

It is possible to interact with Patroclus many times without properly learning his name, even if he's come up in conversations with Achilles. Until his name is revealed, either by reading his Codex entry or via other means, he will be unable to receive gifts and will generally respond to Zagreus coldly or bitterly.

Affinity
If given Nectar, Patroclus will give you the Broken Spearpoint.

Patroclus' affinity gauge is maxed out at 8 hearts.

Favor
Patroclus' favor is part of the Fated List of Minor Prophecies, much like Achilles; Zagreus has to find a way to reunite the two. At some point after Zagreus has deepened his relationship with both Patroclus and Achilles as far as possible, Patroclus will instruct Zagreus to tell Achilles to "risk it all". Achilles will eventually tell Zagreus to alter his contract; with the help of Nyx, Zagreus will find it in the Administrative Chamber, and he can then spend 5 to modify it.

The affinity gauge is unlocked when Zagreus next finds Patroclus and Achilles together in Elysium.
