Patroclos is a noble comrade and warrior. Do you agree?

I wouldn't say that Patroclus is noble but I definitely say that he is a warrior. Yes he killed many Trojans and also Trojan officers but he defied Achilles' orders which was to stop engaging the Trojans if the ships were already saved. Instead, because of his lust for battle and war, he continued to fight and he followed the Trojans to the walls of Troy thus results into his death. If he wasn't too much of a proud warrior, he couldn't followed the soldiers. I think a warrior is someone who does his duty based on his job and not because of his interests and emotions but really based on what he is trained to do and to follow orders. Following orders is the safest way to survive a battle except of course when you are ordered to kill yourself. Well overall, I think Partoclus is great in being a warrior but not that much of being a noble one because of what he has done. He could have been a greater warrior if not for his irresponsible actions. He defeated many Trojans, with a count of 53 I think which makes him a real good warrior. The only flaw he had was his lust for battle. That is what I think of Patroclus.
