Kratos

The hands of death could not defeat me. The sisters of fate could not hold me. And you will not see the end of this day. I will have my revenge! Kratos, a Spartan general and unknowing demigod, pledged his soul to Ares, the God of War, and became a servant of the Gods of Olympus for many years to come. Ares, in order to make Kratos the ultimate warrior, coerced him into killing his own family. Cursed to forever wear the ashes of his wife and daughter all over his body, the Ghost of Sparta took revenge. After finding Pandora’s Box, Kratos gained enough power to kill Ares, becoming then the God of War himself. Little did he know that when he opened Pandora’s Box, the Gods of Olympus were infected - Zeus, in particular, with Fear. Such Fear caused Zeus to betray and kill Kratos. Kratos came back from the Underworld and swore vengeance against anyone that tried to stop him on his god-killing-quest. Having finally slayed the gods, Kratos succeeded - but at what cost? Being a god… it can be a lifetime of anguish and tragedy. That is the curse. Kratos, through unknown means, survived the consequences of killing the Gods of Olympus. Over a century passed, and the Spartan ended up in Midgard, husband to the now-deceased giant Faye and father to Atreus. Kratos tried his best to leave his past behind, with a newly built life and a son he very much loves, on a quest to bring his wife’s ashes to the highest peak in all nine realms. However, attacked by Baldur, son of Odin, the Spartan is dragged once more into the game of the gods, who torment him throughout his and his son’s quest. Ultimately, Kratos and Atreus kill the sons of Thor and Baldur, finishing their journey but making new enemies.
