Ajax is a renowned Greek warrior, said only to be excelled by Achilles, and the son of the king of Salamis. In Fall of the Trident, he meets Arkantos during the Trojan War(though they seem to have already known each other) and afterwards accompanies him to Ioklos, but stays with him for the rest of his adventure. Ajax is typically the "brawn" of the team, not being much of a strategist but a hardy fighter nonetheless. In The New Atlantis, Ajax is soon-to-be-King of Salamis, sent leading a company of Greek troops to confront Kastor and the Atlanteans because of their unexplained attack against Sikyos, but joins Kastor after realizing that he had been tricked by Kronos' servant. Ajax wields a spear and a large shield. His special attack is a shield bash that knocks enemy foot soldiers back a short distance. In real Greek mythology, Ajax was a hero of the Trojan War who commited suicide after being beaten by Odysseus to determine who would get Achilles' armor.

Ajax is the Archaic Age hero for Hades.
