Ajax is a renowned Greek warrior, said only to be excelled by Achilles, and the son of the king of Salamis.

In the Fall of the Trident campaign, he meets Arkantos during the Trojan War (it is implied that they already know each other) and accompanies him to Ioklos afterwards. Ajax is typically the "brawn" of the team, not being much of a strategist but a hardy fighter nonetheless.

In the The New Atlantis campaign Ajax, soon to be crowned King of Salamis, leads a company of Greek troops to confront Kastor and the Atlanteans in response to their unexplained attack on Sikyos. However, he joins Kastor after realizing that they had been tricked by Kronos' servant.

In combat, Ajax wields a spear and a large shield. His special attack is a shield bash that knocks enemy foot soldiers back a short distance.

Ajax is the Archaic Age hero for Hades. In singleplayer random maps and multiplayer matches, he does not possess his shield bash attack.

OverviewEdit

The son of the King of Salamis, Ajax was the second greatest Greek champion at Troy, behind only Achilles. Homer described Ajax as a wall, and said he was much taller than other men, When Achilles withdrew from the fighting, it was Ajax who met Hector in single combat. the two heroes fought all day, with only Hector taking a slight wound. Following the death of Achilles, Ajax competed with Odysseus for the armor of the fallen hero. Odysseus proved more eloquent as a a speaker, however, and was awarded the prize.
