In the series, Ajax formerly served as a love interest for Enid and is present in the scenes with the Nightshades.

In "Chapter I: Wednesday's Child Is Full of Woe", Ajax comes up to Enid as she is showing Wednesday around telling her that he has dirt on her new roommate. After Enid stepped to the side to reveal Wednesday, the snake that slithered out of his beanie hid. Ajax commented on Wednesday's appearance, saying she was "black and white. Like a living Instagram filter." Enid lightly pushes him away, telling Wednesday to ignore him as "Gorgons spend way too much time getting stoned."[1]

In "Chapter II: Woe Is the Loneliest Number", during fencing class, after the first two points in Wednesday and Bianca's match, he is seen standing in the near background behind Rowan. When he hears Wednesday's military challenge, he looks between the two with a worried expression. As a member of the Nightshade Society, he is there when they kidnap and tie up Wednesday Addams after they find her sneaking around their lair.

In "Chapter III: Friend or Woe", he is tasked with doing volunteer work in Uriah's Heap with Enid, completely oblivious to Enid's flirting. After missing Enid's hints for a day, she tells him directly that she's been flirting and invites him to hang out with her behind the greenhouse. He accepts, and they continue working. Later that evening, after he showers, Ajax accidentally stones himself in a mirror and stands Enid up.[2]

In "Chapter IV: Woe What a Night", after going to the Rave'N with another girl, he finds Enid outside being bullied and scares the normies off. He then confesses that he was too embarrassed to tell her why he didn't make it to their date, and the two kiss.[3]

In "Chapter VIII: A Murder of Woes", he helps chain up Tyler Galpin when Wednesday exposes him as a hyde. Before Wednesday begins torturing Tyler, Ajax leaves with the rest of the Nightshades and goes to inform Larissa Weems of what is happening. Later on, Bianca apologizes to Wednesday on behalf of Ajax and the others for getting her expelled, saying that it wasn't her intention to do so.[4] Near the end episode, Ajax is the first to comfort Enid Sinclair after she 'wolfs out' for the first time and stumbles out of the woods. He then helps her walk back to the other students.

Ajax wears the standard Nevermore uniform, with a hoodie of the same color layered underneath his blazer. His shirt is untucked, his blazer is unbuttoned, and his beanie matches the colors of his uniform.

Outside of school, he wears a variety of colored beanies. He layers a jacket over t-shirts and wears long pants. Alternatively, Ajax can be seen wearing a jacket layered over a hoodie.

At the Rave'N, Ajax wears an outfit appropriate to the dance's theme. Ajax wears a light blue shirt layered under a white hoodie. He wears a cream blazer, and his hood sits over the blazer. The drawstrings, zips, and buttons are all accented with black. He wears a white beanie and cream-colored pants.

Ajax is introverted and shy. As gorgons are taught not to engage with others, he avoids them when he can. Despite this, he is close with Enid Sinclair and Xavier Thorpe and seems to be more comfortable around them.

After stoning himself in a mirror, he is too embarrassed to tell Enid why he stood her up afterwards, further displaying his lack of people skills. However, he seems to have come to terms with the risks of his power since Enid herself told him she wasn't afraid of being stoned by him. When he saw Lucas Walker as Enid's date in an attempt to make him jealous, it caused him a slight sense of desperation, which he was unaware of until later, after the normie sabotaged the dance with his friends and they started taunting Enid at the Rave'N. He shouted at them to get away from her, expressing his compassion for her. Later on, he even shows support by helping his friends during crisis situations. This is shown when Wednesday needed the Nightshades to help capture and interrogate Tyler, and when Enid went with Thing to save her, he stayed behind to get all the students out of the academy before Crackstone was resurrected. When the battle was over, he and others stood by the woods to spot Enid, injured after defeating Tyler in her first "wolfing out." They embraced, and he held her close as he comforted her through the crowd, with no hesitation in keeping his head up towards their looks, expressing newfound chivalry and protection over his girlfriend despite being taught otherwise.

When Ajax returns to Nevermore, he has become more responsible. He takes care of both Eugene and Pugsley in their dorm, even sharing a scary story with them. Ajax tries to connect with Enid, who hasn't reached out to him all summer because she is with a new boyfriend named Bruno and is part of a pack. He feels heartbroken seeing them together. On prank day, Eugene tries to lift Ajax's spirits by playing a trick on Bruno using bugs from afar, which makes Ajax laugh. However, unlike in Season 1 when he was taught not to engage, he now confidently stands up for himself and ends up temporarily stoning both Eugene and Pugsley.

During the camp games, Ajax shows that he can be a caring leader for his team. But when Enid and Bruno join in, he makes sarcastic comments but still lets them participate. Later, at the bonfire, we see him looking at the werewolves with desperation. That night, he goes into the woods to talk to Enid about how long she's been dating Bruno without telling him. Ajax discovers that his ex-girlfriend has changed her feelings since “wolfing out.” He wishes they could have talked before she moved on without him. This realization deeply saddens him as it reminds him of when they volunteered at Uriah's Heap together, where squirrels and rats represented their relationship. Feeling like that connection is no longer true, he walks away from her to start his own journey of self-discovery without any more interactions.

Petropolus is getting better at using his powers. When Bianca's mother needed help, he cleverly made Professor Orloff look into his eyes, which froze him for a while. This gave the two Nightshade members time to reach Gabrielle.

Gorgon Physiology: As a gorgon, Ajax has snakes for hair and hides them under a beanie for safety, so he does not use his power accidentally. Petrification ("stoning"): Ajax can temporarily turn people to stone by having his snakes look at them. In season 2, he was seen to purposely turn both Pugsley and Eugene into stone statues on prank day and mistakenly used it on Kent during the camp war games. In support of Bianca, he removed his hat to stone Professor Orloff so that he can help her with her mother.

Fencing: During fencing class in "Chapter I: Wednesday's Child Is Full of Woe" little was shown, but in the back row, Ajax was good at wielding a fencing sword. Boating: In "Chapter II: Woe Is the Loneliest Number," Petropolus has great skill in paddling the boat at Poe Cup as the front man.

Reflections/Mirrors: Ajax is unable to control who he stones, and he ends up stoning himself by looking at his own reflection in a mirror.

Ajax starts off as a friend of Enid and ends up romantically involved with her. Their first interaction in the series is during Wednesday's tour of Nevermore, where he tells Enid the rumors surrounding her new roommate. At the start of the Poe Cup in "Chapter II: Woe Is the Loneliest Number," Enid smiles and glances her eyes to stare at Ajax before he turns to see her across their boats, which made him smile and chuckle in blush for her after she waves at him. On Outreach Day (Friend or Woe), she swaps assignments with Wednesday so that she can work at Uriah's Heap with Ajax. She spends the day flirting with him and trying to get close to him. When she realizes that it isn't working, she confronts him and tells him directly that she's been trying to flirt all day. Ajax picks up on the hints then, and when Enid asks him to hang out with her behind the greenhouse later that night, Ajax unfortunately stones himself in the mirror after showering and stands Enid up. At the Rave'N, Enid attends with Lucas Walker in an attempt to make Ajax jealous. When the two see each other and speak, Enid is nervous and jumpy, whereas after seeing her, Ajax is visibly disheartened. Ajax is with another girl but is still friendly toward Enid and dances nearby. When Enid is outside confronting Lucas and getting picked on by his friends, Ajax is the one to come out and defend her. Just after this, they share their first kiss.

At the funeral of Mayor Walker, Ajax holds Enid, despairing over the event, and they walk off with each other under the rain with an umbrella.

They are seen together throughout the rest of the series. In the finale, Eugene Ottinger calls Enid because he is worried about Wednesday Addams and interrupts a moment between her and Ajax. Later that night, Thing informs them that Wednesday was kidnapped by Thornhill and Tyler and tells them to gather the nightshades. Enid did not know about him being part of the nightshade, as it was one of the rules of keeping it a secret. Ajax is the first to comfort her as she walks out of the woods. They both briefly lost their tempers at one another before Ajax comes close, for she was still stiff from the fight against Tyler and is no longer upset about earlier as he helps walk her back towards the larger group before she pushes him away to go hug Wednesday. Then, when the students leave school for the semester, she meets up with Ajax, who had his arm hanging over her shoulder as she approached, and at one point off-screen, they move outside of the school to share a kiss under the columns before saying goodbye to each other.

Three months after summer, he and Enid haven't made contact since, and on the first day of school he goes to her dorm to bring her a gift, but she continuously avoids confronting him. Later that night he comes face-to-face with Enid, whom he tries to ask why she has been ghosting him, only to be interrupted by Bruno, and she pulls away from him.

On Prank Day, Ajax is seen watching her and her new boyfriend talking, and on the camping trip, he walks up to her, complimenting her luggage, which he offers to help her with, but Bruno gets it, and she walks away from him again. During the games, Ajax sees that she wants to join his team alongside Bruno, and he sarcastically comments that his team was filled with members of the Nightshade but lets them in anyway. And on the night of the bonfire, he watches her with Bruno playing a guitar and looks with a sign of despair before later walking in the woods to finally realize she had broken up with him, which he didn't want to believe until confronting them both. As Bruno gives them privacy, Enid tells Ajax that it wasn't anything he did, only that her feelings had changed and she was no longer the insecure girl that Ajax says he liked; she didn't expect her relationship with her current boyfriend to heat up so fast. Ajax then told her that she never gave him any awareness and wished they could have talked about it before she moved on without him, which she apologized for, but ultimately he reminded her of the day when they volunteered at Uriah's Heap that squirrels and rats could work out that he now claims was false before he walks away from her as she glares at him to follow and catch up with Bruno, officially breaking up and putting him on a path of self-discovery without interfering with her.

Ajax and Xavier Thorpe have a close relationship and are friendly towards each other. They are both Nightshades and are seen in many scenes together. Xavier is one of the characters with whom Ajax interacts the most, and he has a remarkable bond with his friend, possibly in a brotherly way.

On Outreach Day, Ajax affectionately refers to Xavier as "my boy" when talking about him to Enid Sinclair, while at the same time commenting that Xavier has a hidden side that few realize and that he has a complicated relationship with his father, something that Xavier has not even revealed to Wednesday Addams.[5]

During the Parent's Weekend, Xavier's father doesn't show up, so at first he is seen alone. Later in the episode, he can be seen smiling at a table with Ajax and his mothers. This implies that he is close to Ajax's family or that Ajax is fond enough of Xavier to introduce him to his family.
