Patroclos
No, Patroclos is not a noble comrade and warrior. During the war, Patroclos convinced Achilles to let him don Achilles' armor and lead the Myrmidonsn into combat. Achilles did not allow him. But because of his lust for combat, Patroclos pursued the Trojans all the way back to the gates of Troy, defying Achilles' order to break off combat once the ships were saved. Patroclos killed many Trojans and allies including Lycian hero Sarpedon and Cebriones. But in the end, he was stunned by Apollo, wounded by Euphorbos and finished off by Hector. This is why Patroclos cannot be considered as a noble comrade and warrior. He can't even follow an order from his good friend Achilles. I also think that he is too violent for a warrior so i don't think that he is a noble warrior.
