“ | I came to these lands to escape my past. To start a new life. I can hide no longer. I do not want this war. We have suffered enough. Prophecy did not lead us here. Nor will it win this battle.

~ Kratos's speech before blowing the Gjallarhorn |
“ | Son, listen closely. You feel their pain because that is who you are. And you must never sacrifice that. Never. Not for anyone... I was wrong, Atreus. I was wrong. Open your heart. Open your heart to their suffering. That is your mother's wish... and mine as well. Today... today, we will be better. | „ |
~ Kratos to Atreus, changing his ways and breaking fate |
“ | What can I say to you? I remember how it felt to take that throne. All that it meant and all that it did not. A God of war... a god of pain. Of suffering. Of destruction. The Norns said I chase redemption that I know I can never deserve. What does that make me? God of fools. A god of... Hope. |

Summary
Kratos (Greek: Κράτος) is the titular playable protagonist of Sony Santa Monica Studio's acclaimed God of War series. Born and raised among the violent Spartans, Kratos rose through the ranks to become a fearsome general, winning many wars under his command. However, they eventually encountered their mortal enemies, the Barbarians, and were nearly wiped off the map in the ensuing battle. A desperate Kratos begged Ares, the God of War, to help him win the war. Ares listened and bestowed power upon Kratos, leading the Spartans to victory. In exchange, however, Ares demanded Kratos' unflinching loyalty. To this end, the God of War tricked Kratos into murdering his wife Lysandra, and his daughter Calliope, in the ensuing chaos. As a result, their ashes were permanently bonded to Kratos' skin, earning him the moniker "Ghost of Sparta." Enraged and consumed by grief, Kratos renounced his servitude to Ares and sought vengeance on him, eventually killing Ares and ascending to godhood as the new God of War. However, Kratos' struggle did not end there; he had to face his father, the rest of the Olympians, and the Titans on the next journey.
After defeating the Olympians and cleansing Greece through chaos, Kratos fled to the Norse homeland where he married Faye and had a son named Atreus. Following Faye's death, Atreus and Kratos would embark on a journey to fulfil her final wishes, scattering her ashes at the highest peak in all the realms. Many obstacles along the way, including fighting several monsters as well as opposing the Norse gods themselves.

Kratos also repeatedly inspires great attraction in various women he has met in his life, even the Furies inciting into them endless sexual lust for him and his body that they chose seducing him to bring him back to Ares.[24] Even Athena herself holds great empathy and feelings for Kratos which are repressed, often to even unreasonable ends.[15][8] He also convinced Freya to cease her bloodlust against him and he talked Thor into going against Odin, who has had control over the former for his whole life[25])

Even as a depowered Demigod, on his journey to the Island of Creation, he was slowly gaining resistance to the powers of the Sisters of Fate because of his willpower, causing the Sisters to detect irregularities within his Thread of Fate, and by the time he had killed the Dark Rider and Alrik, the Sisters had completely lost all control over Kratos' Thread of Fate,[26] as his Thread had become slack and unresponsive to their actions,[27] no longer being able to make him lose)

- Void Manipulation (Resists Erinys' powers.[20] His Norse self is able to easily interact with and resist the effects of Realm Tears, which[72] are holes in the fabric[73] of reality[58] that threaten the existence of individual realms,[74] and can easily seal them off with just his raw strength alone,[58] said holes also being noted by Mimir to be voids.[25] His Norse self is also able to resist bites and claw swipes from Garm, who can make Realm Tears with his raw strength and can chew through the fabric of the realms, even surviving being chewed on by the latter[75])
- Soul Manipulation & Absorption, Mind Manipulation, Memory Manipulation, Status Effect Inducement, Statistics Reduction, Probability Manipulation, Conceptual Manipulation (Type 1) & Deconstruction (Souls are constructs of magic, composed of their form, the metaphysical nature of a being, their luck, their mind and their direction. Unaffected by Poseidon's powers, which can destroy both the body and soul,[76] with Poseidon's Rage being able to completely destroy incorporeal Wraiths.[21] Is also able to withstand energy blasts from the Blade of Olympus. His Norse self was able to easily withstand a long period inside the Light of Alfheim[77] and came out without being driven insane or being completely incinerated and becoming one with the Light,[78] with the Light of Alfheim being also a Primordial Force that has existed before Odin and the Realms,[78] keeping the Realms separate with its light[79] and also transcending them altogether,[80] with the Light of Alfheim also being able to weaken foes[81] and deal significant stun damage.[82] Kratos is strong enough to pull his soul back into his own body if one attempts to steal it, doing so multiple times in his battle with Hades[32]. Damaging souls can shatter and fragment their memories as a consequence[14])
- Electricity Manipulation & Paralysis Inducement (Able to resist electrical attacks from Poseidon and direct lightning bolts from Zeus with little issue. His Norse self can also easily overpower Thor's lightning attacks with strength alone)
- Power Nullification & Resistance Negation (Resisted and parried Zeus' blows and lightning bolts many times, even when the latter wielded the Blade of Olympus against him)
- Precognition & Clairvoyance (Even stronger than before, having finally overpowered the Sisters of Fate's precognitive abilities and killed them.[8] Kratos was unpredictable to beings like Zeus,[8] who was capable of predicting his death prior to gaining The Power of Hope. The Judges of Hades were also unable to judge Kratos through his heart,[32] and they're stated to be able to do just that[32])
- Corruption (Type 1; Is unfazed by the Trial Gates, which can corrupt anyone who touches it into being a monster,[32] Type 2; Is also able to resist Hades' dark mist, which corrupts everything in its path,[83] with his Norse self also being able to resist Seidr Energy)
- Cosmic Radiations (Unaffected by being in Ares' dimension, which had a massive swirling galaxy in it and countless stars littering the background. Also viewed the atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki and their resulting mushroom clouds, instinctively realizing that it would be unable to harm him in any way[53])
- Curse Manipulation & Life Manipulation (Wields Hades' Helmet, which is able to grant his champion resistance to these abilities)
All previous powers and abilities massively enhanced (Is immeasurably stronger in all facets. The Great Evils and Hope imbue themselves within a being down to their very soul,[84] affecting[85] all of their mind, soul[86] and very powers as gods[87]) plus:
- Conceptual Manipulation (Type 1; Is capable of using Hope as a weapon against Fear Zeus[32] and banished Fear itself,[32] Hope is considered the most powerful weapon in the God of War verse, surpassing the Great Evils, which in turn surpass even the Primordials)
- Abstract Existence (Type 2; Gained Hope itself,[32] and is unable to die as long as Hope exists)
- Advanced Non-Physical Interaction (Can harm Fear Zeus with Hope. Terrified Athena and was capable of striking her down, the latter of whom had ascended to a higher plane of existence[32][88] that granted her power and a level of existence beyond everyone else)
- Conceptual Invulnerability (Type 1; After Kratos unlocked Hope, he became unaffected by the energies and the effects of Fear Zeus, who is the very concept of Fear itself.[32] Athena confirms verbally that what Kratos wields could never be destroyed by Fear Zeus[32])
- Immortality (Types 4 & 8; Can no longer die so long as Hope exists. After Fear Zeus killed him, it was the unlocking of Hope within him that brought Kratos back to life[32])
- Resurrection (As long as Hope exists, Kratos will continue to keep coming back to life, as after Fear Zeus killed him by snapping his neck, Kratos was forced back into his mind, where he then finally unlocked the Power of Hope and came back to life)
- Immortality Negation (Types 4 & 8; Massively upscales from his Demigod self, and is capable of bypassing Fear Zeus' immortality. Kratos was also able to remove Hope out of himself, by stabbing himself with the Blade of Olympus channeling the power through it, to give Hope to mankind)
All previous resistances to a far higher level, including;
- Possibly Sealing (Completely rendered Ascended Athena helpless and unable to take Hope from him by force, despite the latter being capable of forcibly summoning and sealing Hope beforehand[89])

- Power Nullification & Absorption (Even after Kratos killed himself with the Blade of Olympus and released Hope to the world, he was still brought back to life by Hope. Also able to resist Fear Zeus's abilities)
All of his Innate God abilities and powers, including:
- Extrasensory Perception (Is also able to sense lingering magic in the bones of the dead[90])
- Information Analysis (Discerned Freya's capacity with Old Magic and her ability to resurrect specifically[91], despite having no knowledge of it beyond the broadest strokes, with Freya herself due to years of inactivity, being unsure if she could do it again,[92] as well as when he discerned Revenants could slip between sheets of reality after mere observation[93])
- Self-Sustenance (Types 2 & 3; Unsuccessfully tried to kill himself through starvation sometime after the destruction of Olympus, while also walking without rest or sleep for months at an end, at one point eating only to satiate his appetite.[52] Stated to Mimir that Gods do not nap[25])

Can telekinetically control the Leviathan Axe, as well as the chains of his Blades of Chaos, being able to use the Blades without having the chains attached to them, or being able to extend his chains to whatever length he desires)
- Enhanced Non-Physical Interaction (Space-Time & Void; Able to interact with Realm Tears, which[72] are holes in the fabric[73] of reality[58] that threaten the existence of individual realms,[74] and can easily seal them off with just raw strength alone[58], said holes also being noted by Mimir to be voids[25])
- Accelerated Development (Battle; Physical Statistics. Went from losing in his first fight against Baldur[94] due to having lost most of his strength from his God of War days and having become less muscular than before to the point where he was a shell of his former self,[95] to eventually ending up regaining his old strength within mere seconds and completely turning the tide in the fight, effortlessly ragdolling and defeating Baldur.[94] The entire journey revolves around Kratos slowly regaining his old strength from his old days as the God of War in order to protect and better prepare his son Atreus to face the harsh Norse Worlds,[96] as confirmed by[97] numerous[98] other[99] statements.[100] In his final battle with Thor, each clash of their last weapons pushes Thor further and further, despite them being even initially. [25] When battling Tyr, the both of them were growing stronger with every encounter[101])
- Intangibility (Phased through a mountain wall to train his Rage. His son Atreus most likely inherited this, since he stated to Skjoldr that he couldn't walk through walls just yet,[102] implying he could with enough training)

Is imbued with Hope, the greatest power in the Greek World, far above even the Great Evils, including Fear Zeus, as per Athena's words.[32] Terrified Athena and was capable of striking her down, the latter of whom had ascended to a higher plane of existence[32][88] that granted her power and a level of existence beyond everyone else) | Low Complex Multiverse level (Is[98] repeatedly[112] stated[100] to have lost most of his strength from his days as a God and even some of his musculature to the point where he was a shell of his former self.[95] Despite this, he rag-dolled and defeated Baldur in battle.[94] Defeated Sigrun in combat and managed to best all her Valkyries, whose magics are powerful enough to ripple across an entire Realm, start tearing it apart at the very fabric and make the Yggdrasil bleed[113]) | Low Complex Multiverse level (Upon training during Fimbulwinter, Kratos reawakened the dormant powers he once wielded at his peak when he goes all out.[96] Fought on par with Thor and ultimately defeated him during their rematch.[114] Fought against Níðhögg, who can chew through the under-roots of Yggdrasil. Defeated Garm, who threatened to eat through the fabric of the Nine Realms. Held his own against Odin, who killed the first Giant Ymir and created the Realms from his body) | Low Complex Multiverse level (Despite Tyr going all out against him[40] and the both of them growing stronger with every encounter[101], he consistently defeats Tyr in single combat.[40] Tyr admits that Kratos is the better fighter[40] of the two, with Mimir confirming that he's better but in his own head[40] whenever he loses)
Speed: FTL (Could view lightning as though it was "moving through the slowest treacle" and run across a temple before it hit Ares. Stated to be of near-Olympian strength[37] and "second to none" by Athena,[115] with even the Sisters of Fate also re-affirming this notion as well, making him superior to the Redeemed Warriors, who can use Essence of Hyperion, which lets the user move at the speed of light[24][Statistics Values 2]), Infinite attack speed with the Light of Dawn (The Light of Dawn is powered by the Primordial Flame, which also serves as the same power source as Helios. Its beams work in a near-identical fashion to those of Helios' beams), Infinite with the Gauntlet of Zeus (Easily kept pace with Persephone, who can react to and block beams from the Light of Dawn, whose beams work in a near-identical fashion to those of Helios' beams. Easily kept up with Atlas, who could easily overwhelm Helios) | Infinite (Managed to defeat the Sisters of Fate, tagging them[8] as well as evading their attacks[8] before they can react, even while fighting both at once. Initially fought on par against Zeus, who is massively swifter than Hermes,[116] who was able to easily outrun Helios' light attacks at close ranges while wounded and battered.[32] Also easily kept up with Hercules, who could also react to and effortlessly block Helios' attacks with ease.[32] Later evenly matched Zeus in combat blow-for-blow in their final battle[32]) | Infinite (Far faster than before and defeated Fear Zeus in battle[32]) | Infinite (Slower than before but is still comparable to Baldur and Sigrun, whom are on par with Ares) | Infinite (Has managed to return to the level he was at when he destroyed Olympus. Kept up with the likes of Thor, Heimdall and the various Valkyries in battle. Able to react to, block[117] and dodge shockwaves[114] from Thor, said shockwaves being able to encompass the entirety of Yggdrasil, an infinite higher-dimensional structure) | Infinite (Can keep up with Tyr in combat, who had to be imprisoned by the efforts of Thor and Odin at the same time)
Lifting Strength: At least Class Z (Stated by Athena to possess near-Olympian strength[37] and "second to none"[115] which would make him vastly superior to the Redeemed Warriors, who as mortals were capable of swinging a hammer with the weight of the mortal plane. Broke the strap that held down the Python carcass, a giant metallic serpent that spans across multiple mountain ranges[24][Statistics Values 3]), Immeasurable with Gauntlet of Zeus (Used by Zeus himself to chain all the Titans to the walls of Tartarus. Later used by Kratos himself to overpower and re-chain Atlas[13]) | Immeasurable (Is comparable to Ares, who is superior to the Titans like Atlas, who easily held up the entirety of the Greek World on his shoulders for nearly 20 years. Can hold back Atlas' strength[8] and can also overpower Hades, who has Atlas' soul,[8] which grants him strength as a result, with Kratos himself eventually ripping out Hades' soul for himself.[32] Later overpowered and killed Cronos[32]) | Immeasurable (Inconceivably stronger than before) | Immeasurable (Physically on par with Baldur and overpowered him in battle, and should thus wield a level of strength that's more or less on par with Ares) | Immeasurable (Has re-awakened the power he wielded as a God. Can seal Realm Tears, which[72] are holes in the fabric[73] of reality[58] that threaten the existence of individual realms,[74] with just his raw strength alone,[58] and can contend with the likes of Níðhögg[106] and Garm[75]) | Immeasurable (Has been growing stronger with every encounter[101] he has with Tyr in Valhalla)
Striking Strength: Multi-Solar System level (Can hurt Megaera with his blows[Statistics Values 1]), Low Complex Multiverse level with Gauntlet of Zeus | Low Complex Multiverse level (Equal to[15] Ares. On par with and can trade blows with Zeus, with both of them being able to inflict brutal beatdowns on each other and live to tell the tale) | Low Complex Multiverse level (Terrified Athena, who had ascended to a higher plane of existence and gained power beyond everybody else, and threatened to strike her down[32]) | Low Complex Multiverse level (Consistently clashes with Baldur and wins. Can close Realm Tears with his raw strength) | Low Complex Multiverse level (When fully enraged and going all out, he easily knocked Thor's teeth out and later matches Thor on equal grounds[114]) | Low Complex Multiverse level (Despite Tyr going all out against him[40] and the both of them growing stronger with every encounter[101], he consistently defeats Tyr in single combat[40])
Durability: Multi-Solar System level (Withstood attacks from the three Furies[Statistics Values 1]), Low Complex Multiverse level with Sun Shield (Is the shield used by Helios himself. Contains the Primordial Fire, which is stated to be the source of Helios' energy within it. Kratos easily shielded himself from Persephone's death explosion, which destroyed the World Pillar[13]) and Gauntlet of Zeus (The Gauntlet of Zeus amplifies all of Kratos's physical attributes, and it allowed him to kill Charon, and fight on par with Atlas and Persephone) | Low Complex Multiverse level (Tanked many attacks from Ares, as well as his Death Explosion. Battled with and killed Thanatos, who is a Primordial Deity. Tanked a hit from Poseidon's Trident. Also withstood Helios' charged Power of the Sun with minimal problems. He was able to withstand strikes from Hades and Hercules. Equal to Zeus and withstood many hits from him) | Low Complex Multiverse level (Was only able to kill himself by channeling Hope through the Blade of Olympus and then stabbing himself with it, to sacrifice himself and give Hope to mankind instead) | Low Complex Multiverse level (Took many brutal beatdowns from Baldur on multiple occasions and managed to turn the tide every step of the way. Could survive attacks from Sigrun and her Valkyries, whose magics are powerful enough to ripple across an entire Realm, start tearing it apart at the very fabric and make the Yggdrasil bleed[118]) | Low Complex Multiverse level (Shouldn't be any weaker than his old God of War self. Traded blows with Thor multiple times, only getting overwhelmed and temporarily killed when considerably holding back. However, in their rematch, Kratos was now able to take a full-powered, enraged blow to the head from him with Mjölnir, and shrug it off with ease[114]) | Low Complex Multiverse level (Despite Tyr going all out against him[40] and the both of them growing stronger with every encounter[101], Kratos can weather the former's attacks and blows)
Stamina: Superhuman (As a Demigod has the energy to climb for three days without any food, water or rest,[23] as seen when he climbs up to Pandora's Temple. Ran several dozen kilometers in search of a city and kept fighting for an entire day inside Pandora's Temple before tiring out. Survived being brutally tortured physically and mentally by the Furies for 3 weeks at an end in order to break him and make him return back to the servitude of Ares, eventually persevering, overpowering and killing them. Consistently withstands brutal beatdowns from people and gods of his own caliber, like from his brother Deimos and his father Zeus, and easily recovers from them within seconds, including his own stamina. Is also able to easily shrug off wounds that would normally kill lesser mortals.[30] Possesses infinite magic, which he gained after being driven berserk by Deimos's death at the hands of Thanatos. Even after massively slacking out on his training for years, he endured brutal beatdowns from Baldur and journeyed with his son through the cruel and deadly realms of the Norse Gods)
Range: Standard Melee Range to at least Tens of Meters, likely Hundreds of Meters with Magic. Low Multiversal with Soul of Hades[24] and Army of Hades[62] (Both the Soul of Hades[24] and Army of Hades[15] allow Kratos to summon souls from the Underworld, as well as banish his foes to the Underworld, with the Underworld and Mortal World having been stated to be separate space-time continuums) | Universal+ (Has all of Ares' powers. Gods are present across their domains, which at the minimum span all of space and time[53]); Interdimensional with BFR (Much like Ares,[15] he should also be able to[60] banish his foes[8] to a galaxy-sized pocket dimension and make them fight their own clones or torture them[15]); Low Multiversal with Alrik's Barbarian Hammer[62] (Can summon souls from the Underworld with Alrik's hammer, as well as create portals[61]) and Claws of Hades (Absorbed Hades' soul and can use all his soul-summoning powers to their fullest extent[32]) | Low Complex Multiversal (Embodies Hope itself, an abstraction greater than even the Primordials, who in turn permeate the entire reality of the Greek World) | Standard Melee Range, Tens of Meters to Hundreds of Meters with Magic; Universal+ with Realm Shift (Realm Shift distorts both space and time of an entire realm, each realm being universal in size); at least Low Complex Multiversal with the Unity Stone (The Unity Stone allows travel to other realms and pantheons outside of the Norse Pantheon[58]) | Standard Melee Range, Tens of Meters to Hundreds of Meters with Magic; Universal+ with Realm Shift (Realm Shift distorts both space and time of an entire realm, each realm being universal in size); Low Multiversal with Gjallarhorn (With the breath of a sufficiently strong God, the Gjallarhorn will serve as the catalyst to start Ragnarök and open the Gateways of all the 9 Realms simultaneously for their armies to invade Asgard, which he does so in a bid to stop Odin[25]) | Standard Melee Range, Tens of Meters to Hundreds of Meters with Magic; Universal+ with Realm Shift (Realm Shift distorts both space and time of an entire realm, each realm being universal in size)

Intelligence: Genius (Was the greatest general of the Spartan Empire, having never lost a battle until his fateful meeting with Alrik. While he prefers his Blades, Kratos is a master of all weapons, capable of accurately and expertly using them without conscious thought.[119] Throughout his adventures, he has solved many puzzles, mostly created by Daedalus, who built the Labyrinth of Minos, and Pathos Verdes the 3rd, who built the Temple of Pandora, being the first to ever conquer the latter after a millennium of attempts. Despite using brutal and bloody methods, Kratos is of a keen tactical mind and could accurately assess the state of Athens during its siege with a mere glance.[119] Possesses wrestling skills that he can use to take down trained soldiers even while weakened and exhausted.[120] Would eventually come to have complete knowledge and awareness of all forms of war and combat across all of time.[53] due to their rank as the God of War. Had fought against multiple younger clones of himself who were stated to be much stronger, faster, more agile and considerably more bloodlusted, and killed all of them, threatening Ares to send more and saying that none would ever reach his family.[121] Stated by Athena to be a warrior who is second to none. [115] Was able to figure out that Freya had bewitched Mimir so that the latter was unable to reveal Baldur's weakness to mistletoe or his identity as Freya's son)
Standard Tactics: Despite his infamous anger and ferocity, Kratos is a very adaptable combatant, with who sees his weapons as tools for specific task[25], finding preference to be meaningless. His tactics mirror this, as he uses whatever is appropriate to the situation.[40] This is not exclusive to his weapons and physical combat approach, as Kratos will regularly use all of his available magical abilities in battle one after the other.[122]
Weaknesses: Kratos' anger management issues make him prone to impulsive and violent behavior as well as severe judgment impairment. However, this weakness was alleviated later on in his life. Kratos utterly abhors harm to children[123] to the point of disengaging from a combat scenario to try and save one in danger.[124]
