Kratos was a brutal Spartan captain who made a deal with Ares, the "God of War", to continue his conquests in Greece. Kratos killed his family, committed atrocities, and became suicidal. Kratos served the other Gods of Olympus for 10 years, but his resentment grew. Kratos fought the Gods and became the "God of War", but still sought redemption. Kratos' resentment grew into hatred of the Gods, and he battled against them all to decide the fate of Greece itself.
