Name:
Kratos
Picture:
Franchise/Series:
God Of War
Personality:
Kratos is incredibly cruel and destructive and would kill anyone who gets in his way. He doesn't seem to care if he kills women or children or men weaker than him.
Before God of War II, Kratos was very respectful towards gods and divine entities, to the point of calling them "Lords", and even being afraid of them, and even in God of War II, he was still extremely respectful to the Titan Gaia. However, in God of War III, he lost all sense of respect towards divinities and does not care if he has to kill them to proceed, and will insult the gods, no matter whom it is, for example, calling Hermes "A fly from the ass of Zeus".
Kratos was once a very destructive and amoral man. His guilt is often converted to extreme rage and his goal was to achieve vengeance on Ares for making him kill his wife and child. This vengeance later extends to Zeus for trying to kill him in Rhodes, then Kratos resolves to kill all the gods of Olympus, if they try to oppose him. Unable to cope with the memory of his own misdeeds, Kratos has considered suicide on two separate occasions. On some occasions, Kratos even to put the blame of his actions onto others (Ares, The Gods, etc.), until the very end, during which he finally realized the consequences of his actions, stabbing himself with theBlade of Olympus.
He is surprised when Athena tells Kratos that he is the son of Zeus. In denial -or renouncement of his kinship-, he replies that he has no father. He does not truly acknowledge this fact until the siege of Mount Olympus, telling Zeus that his son brought the destruction of Olympus as a gift to him. The one and only time Kratos is shown to be happy is when he sees his daughter, Calliope, again in Chains of Olympus.
Despite his violent nature, Kratos has shown to respect, and even care for, a few people. Besides his wife and daughter, he has also shown to care for his younger brother Deimos and his mother Callisto and to be regretful of his accidental killing of Athena. Kratos also showed respect for his fellow Spartans, including theLast Spartan, and the nameless Captain he encountered several times during God of War II, and treatedPandora as if she were his own daughter. When Kratos encounters his half siblings he merely ignores them or tells them to step aside, meaning that Kratos shows that he cares somewhat for his half siblings but will kill them if they force him to, or perhaps that he will only kill if it furthers his own agenda. For example, when Helios offered to help Kratos as a way of repaying his debt, Kratos was legitimately interested.
After the murder of his wife and child, he -on occasion- seemed to be ashamed of his reputation as seen in God of War. As he tries to reason with a woman in Athens to give him a key, only for her to run away in terror from him, he's clearly aghast by the fear his appearance inducted to others. Furthermore he tried but failed to stop her running and save her life. This shame was cemented further on in the game as he questions on several locations what he had become, as he witnesses the massacres caused by the minions of Ares. However, after meeting Pandora he started to gain regard for human life, refusing to sacrifice Pandora to the Flames of Olympus, and expressing regret both at the state of the world after Zeus's defeat and the fact that Pandora had been sacrificed, all for his own selfish desire for revenge. In God of War: Ascension, his earliest canonical appearance, he is portrayed as more respectful of the lives of others.
He genuinely mourns the death of Orkos and the Delphic Oracle, even giving Orkos a decent funeral pyre. In Delphi, when Castor orders the guards to remove Kratos from the Oracle's temple, Kratos spares them when they have the good sense to flee. Even on Delos, when a bystander is fleeing from monsters, Kratos is merciful enough to push him out of the way of an incoming spear, whereas he would most likely just let him die in later games. It is possible that Kratos had yet to develop the apathy for others' lives that would come with his later experiences. He is also very libidinous and is shown to be very sexually passionate with many women, though, as stated by Gaia, he never found true happiness nor comfort in these acts, with Lysandra being the only woman he ever loved.
