Kratos-Kratos, the protagonist of the wildly popular God of War series, is on a quest for revenge. Ordered to assassinate Ares, Kratos only agrees to do so in order to free himself from the nightmares of his past deeds.
The Greek anti-god Kratos combines his animalistic and brutal fighting style with his distinctive weapons, the "blades of chaos"(a pair of swords attached to Kratos' arms with the fiery chains of hell) for a fluid combat style that is a challenger's worst nightmare
Kratos is the true definition of an anti-hero, often making immoral decisions to further his goal (sacrificing unprotected humans for example). While serving as the captain of Sparta's army, Kratos was only intrested in stealing his opponets power for his own gain. Serving the God of War Ares, Kratos is tricked by his master into killing his own family. An oracle then placed a curse so all would know him for the beast he had become: his skin pale white with the ashes of his dead wife and child, "The Ghost of Sparta" had been born. Hell bent on revenge, Kratos went after Ares, eventually killing the god and usurping his power. Unhappy with this decision, Zeus and the other gods of Olympus try to dethrone Kratos, but even a god cannot defeat this powerful fighter. Agreeing to serve the gods in order to receive forgiveness, Kratos shows disregard for their plight, only following their orders for his own personal benefit.
