0God of War Ragnarok | A Viking Funeral Last Part | Kratos | PS5 FHD
Kratos is the main protagonist in God of War, and its sequel, God of War Ragnarok. Kratos is a Spartan warrior who Ares tricked into killing his wife and son. This incident earned him the nickname the "Ghost of Sparta," as he was cursed with wearing his family's ashes on his body, making his skin pale as a ghost.
While he wouldn't know it for most of his life, Kratos was a demigod as he is the son of Zeus, but he would later become a full-on god, the God of War to be precise, after killing Ares. After years of serving the Greek gods, Kratos became disillusioned, and resentment towards the gods grew strong. After learning of the god's involvement in his mother's and brother's suffering, Kratos decided he had had enough and started a war against the Greek gods, resulting in many gods dying, including Zeus. After getting his revenge, he fled the Greek World and went to the Northlands, where the 2018 God of War game takes place.
In this new world, he met a woman named Faye and had a kid with her — Atreus. After Faye dies, she tasks Kratos and their son with spraying her ashes on the highest peak in the Nine Realms. The trip to the highest mountain was long and full of enemies, but in the end, Atreus learns that his mom was a giant, that his real name is Loki, and that he is a god just like his father. Kratos' decisions in the last game seem to have accelerated Fumbelwinter — a devastating winter that forecasts Ragnarok's start.
During God of War Ragnarok, Kratos will still be burdened by his past mistakes and will want to spare Atreus from learning the things he learned from his conflict with the Greek gods. So he'll want to stay away from The Aesir as much as possible, which will be quite a challenge seeing as Atreus is hellbent on getting answers and knowing what being Loki means and his role in the upcoming war. In this game, Kratos and Atreus will embark on a new adventure again. This time to prevent Ragnarok and save the lives of everyone in the Nine Realms.
Kratos was originally an incredibly destructive, ruthless, violent, fierce, brave, and brutal warrior who is focused mainly on his own goals, and turning what guilt he has into anger. Whenever he is wronged, he becomes obsessed with revenge and will destroy who or whatever he has to get his vengeance. At first, Kratos wanted revenge on Ares for making him kill his family, then Zeus for trying to kill him, and his lust for vengeance consumed him to where he no longer cared for the world as it was destroyed by his actions. His inability to accept full responsibility for his actions makes him shift the blame to others for his actions. Due to his many painful memories, Kratos is often stoic and silent, but brutally vocal in battle.
At the early stages of his time in Greece, Kratos still had a degree of morality, being genuinely shameful of his reputation as the “Ghost of Sparta”, visibly aghast by the fear and hatred others have for him, as shown by his reaction when a woman in Athens to give him a key. However, she ran away in terror and call him a monster. With this as well, he shows clear remorse and anguish as he observed the massacres committed by Ares' minions, causing him to question what he had done and become. He even shows a willingness to save others and show regret when he fails, as displayed by his failed attempts to save Aletheia, giving them comfort when he failed, and he refuses to kill Orkos at first despite knowing killing him is the only way to be free from Ares. He also pushed an innocent man out of the way of an incoming attack that would have killed him on Delos. In addition, Kratos genuinely cared for and was loyal to his home and his people, Sparta. However, Zeus would later destroy his home causing Kratos to be devastated and making him openly rebel against the Gods and defy fate to save Sparta. Even at his worst, Kratos displayed remorse for killing Hephaestus, bearing him no actual ill will and seeing him as a better parent than himself, and slaying Athena when she died for Zeus.
Even as Kratos became more self-centered and obsessed with revenge, he is still capable of showing mercy. Having only desired the death of Zeus, Kratos would not hesitate to kill any of the Olympians who tried to get in his way, but on numerous occasions, he also proves to be quite willing to try reasoning with and telling his half-siblings to step aside, only fighting them when they fought him openly or when they provoked him deeply, as displayed by Kratos warning Theseus to step aside lest he face death before ultimately killing him, attempting to reason with Hercules, displaying some pity for his brother's efforts to earn Zeus' favoritism, knowing fully well Zeus didn't care much for his family. He would also ignore Hermes until his provocation became too much and Hera insulting Pandora.
