Why do people like Ajax?

I think people appreciate that he's vocal with where he stands, there's no trickery or lies - he doesn't like you he'll straight out tell you. That and despite the issues he has with the rest of his gang during the movie, he has their backs. There might also be some sympathy for him, he didn't run out on his fell Warriors at all but they gave up on him when he needed them. Now it's debatable whether they should've rescued him or not but that's what some may feel.
If you ever get to read the original book which the movie is loosely based on, the character of Lunkface is Ajax. But you read the book really all the characters there are worse than Ajax from the film I think. So at least in translation they made him a much more likeable character
