Kratos (GodOfWar)

The Gods of Olympus have abandoned me.

Now there is no hope.

~ Kratos

War God Kratos
Do you see, Gods of Olympus? Do you need more proof than this?
~ Kratos moments before getting slammed by the hands of the destroyed Colossus of Rhodes

GOWIII KRATOS CROP 2 renderr
Zeus, your son has returned! I bring the destruction of Olympus!
~ Kratos
The hands of death could not defeat me. The Sisters of Fate could not hold me. And you will not see the end of this day. I will have my revenge!
~ Kratos to Zeus
I have lived as a warrior. I have died as a god. Having suffered the ultimate sacrifice, I have been denied release. I... I will defeat Olympus. I will have my revenge.
~ Kratos

Hope is what makes us strong. It is why we are here. It is what we fight with when all else is lost.
~ Pandora to Kratos about Hope
My vengeance ends now.
~ Kratos to Athena

Don't be sorry. Be better.
~ Kratos to his son, Atreus
We will be the gods we choose to be. Not those who have been. Who I was, is not who you will be. We must be better.
~ Kratos to Atreus

Kratos- GOW Ragnarok
Death can have me when it earns me.
~ Kratos
Return my son. Or you may meet the god I once was.
~ Kratos threatening Odin
I have been... falling back into my old ways. Angry. Distrustful. With you, now... and before. I, I chased you away. [...] You have grown into a warrior. Worthy of your namesake. I was the one who was not ready. [...] Atreus... I am sorry.
~ Kratos to Atreus

Fate breaker set kratos
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. Wars are won by those that are willing to sacrifice everything. If that is the cost of vengeance... so be it.
~ 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

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.

All previous resistances of his Demigod self at far greater levels, plus those of his Norse Era and Ragnarok selves, plus:

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[94], affecting[95] all of their mind, soul[96] and very powers as gods[97]), plus:

All previous resistances to a far higher level, including;

All of his Innate God abilities and powers, including:

All of his Innate Norse Era abilities and powers, including:

All previous resistances of his Norse Era self, including:


Attack Potency: At least Multi-Continent level (Described as being of near-Olympian strength[41] and "second to none" by Athena,[117] killing any demigod he meets with ease, with even the Sisters of Fate reaffirming the notion as well,[118] making him superior to even elevated Redeemed Warriors, who as mortals are capable of swinging the hammer of Atlas, which has the weight of the world), likely Multi-Solar System level (Defeated the three Furies, who by their magic could create physical illusions and dimensions that contained a starry sky in the background,[26] which would require this much energy, and later a dimension that contained the Sun, propagated from themselves[26]), Low Complex Multiverse level with Divine Weapons (Possesses the Gauntlet of Zeus, the Blade of Artemis and the Spear of Destiny) | Low Complex Multiverse level (Killed his way through the entire host of Olympians and Titans. Fought on par with Zeus and kept up with his latent power growth) | Low Complex Multiverse level (Inconceivably more powerful than before. 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.[36] Terrified Athena and was capable of striking her down, the latter of whom had ascended to a higher plane of existence[36][98] that granted her power and a level of existence beyond everyone else) | Low Complex Multiverse level (Is[104] repeatedly[119] stated[106] 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.[101] Despite this, he rag-dolled and defeated Baldur in battle.[100] 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[120]) | Low Complex Multiverse level (Upon training during Fimbulwinter, Kratos reawakened the dormant powers he once wielded at his peak when he goes all out.[102] Fought on par with Thor and ultimately defeated him in their final rematch.[121] 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)

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 and to be second to none by Athena, making him superior to the Redeemed Warriors, who can use Essence of Hyperion, which lets the user move at the speed of light[26]), 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[7] as well as evading their attacks[7] before they can react, even while fighting both at once. Initially fought on par against Zeus, who is massively swifter than Hermes,[122] who was able to easily outrun Helios' light attacks at close ranges while wounded and battered.[36] Also easily kept up with Hercules, who could also react to and effortlessly block Helios' attacks with ease.[36] Later evenly matched Zeus in combat blow-for-blow in their final battle[36]) | Infinite (Far faster than before and defeated Fear Zeus in battle[36]) | 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[123] and dodge shockwaves[121] from Thor, said shockwaves being able to encompass the entirety of Yggdrasil, an infinite higher-dimensional structure)

Lifting Strength: At least Class Z (Stated by Athena to possess near-Olympian strength and to be second to none, 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[26]), 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[15]) | 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[7] and can also overpower Hades, who has Atlas' soul,[7] which grants him strength as a result, with Kratos himself eventually ripping out Hades' soul for himself.[36] Later overpowered and killed Cronos[36]) | 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[81] are holes in the fabric[82] of reality[70] that threaten the existence of individual realms,[83] with just his raw strength alone,[70] and can contend with the likes of Níðhögg[112] and Garm[84])

Striking Strength: At least Multi-Continent level (Stated by Athena to possess near-Olympian strength and to be second to none, which would make him vastly superior to Redeemed Warriors, whose blows can harm other champions, whom can take attacks from Atlas' hammer without issue), likely Multi-Solar System level (Can hurt Megaera with his blows), Low Complex Multiverse level with Gauntlet of Zeus | Low Complex Multiverse level (Equal to[17] 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[36]) | 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, eventually defeating him in their next rematch[121])

Durability: At least Multi-Continent level (Stated by Athena to possess near-Olympian strength and to be second to none, which would make him vastly superior to Redeemed Warriors, who can take blows from Atlas' hammer without issue), likely Multi-Solar System level (Withstood attacks from the three Furies), 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[15]) 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[124]) | 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 final rematch, a Kratos who was still holding back to save Thor, but was much more serious than ever before, was now able to take a full-powered, enraged blow to the head from him with Mjölnir, and shrug it off with ease[121])

Stamina: Superhuman (As a Demigod has the energy to climb for three days without any food, water or rest,[25] 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.[34] 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[26] and Army of Hades[71] (Both the Soul of Hades[26] and Army of Hades[17] 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[61]); Interdimensional with BFR (Much like Ares,[17] he should also be able to[68] banish his foes[7] to a galaxy-sized pocket dimension and make them fight their own clones or torture them[17]); Low Multiversal with Alrik's Barbarian Hammer[71] (Can summon souls from the Underworld with Alrik's hammer, as well as create portals[72]) and Claws of Hades (Absorbed Hades' soul and can use all his soul-summoning powers to their fullest extent[36]) | 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 Metres 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 Weather Manipulation (Upon his arrival into Norse lands, he caused a mini-Fimbulwinter across the 9 Realms that lasted for two years.[107] Inapplicable in combat); at least Low Complex Multiversal with the Unity Stone (The Unity Stone allows travel to other realms and pantheons outside of the Norse Pantheon[70]) | Standard Melee Range, Tens of Metres 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[27])

Standard Equipment:

  • The Blades of Chaos: Forged in the pits of Tartarus, these blades are a deadly reminder of Kratos' past.

  • Blades of Athena: A pair of chain blades which was gifted to Kratos by Athena after he lost the Blades of Chaos in his fight against Ares.

  • Scourge of Erinys: An item Kratos received after brutally killing Erinys. It has the power to create voids to suck in foes and absorb their souls and health.

  • Barbarian Hammer: A mighty hammer once wielded by Alrik until Kratos took it from him. This sluggish yet mighty weapon can summon a cursed soul to do Kratos' bidding.
  • Spear of Destiny: A lance once wielded by the Dark Rider until Kratos killed him and took it from his dead griffin. It has explosive properties on top of being able to extend and retract.
  • Blade of Olympus: One of Kratos' most powerful weapons. It was wielded by Zeus at one point to defeat the titans, and it wields power to kill the immortals.
  • Typhon's Bane: a magical bow that Kratos received after ripping it out from Typhon's eye, which can fire wind instead of regular arrows.

  • Leviathan Axe: A powerful weapon handed down to Kratos as a keepsake by his late beloved wife, Faye. It generates powerful ice-based attacks.
  • Blades of Chaos: Blades forged in the foulest depths of Hades, imbued with the flames of the Underworld. A relic of Kratos' past and a terrible reminder of the horrible deeds he had committed during his tenure as a God of War.
  • Guardian Shield: An exceptional shield gifted to Kratos by his beloved wife on the anniversary of the night they met. The shield can reflect back attacks and can change form to suit various needs, and it is also collapsible when not in use.

  • Stone Wall Shield: This shield is specialized for maximum defense, making it unsuitable for parries, but perfect for blocking most attacks, which build up charge. Once the shield is charged to the maximum, it can be slammed down into the ground, creating a massive shockwave that sends enemies flying and stunned.
  • Dauntless Shield: This shield is specalized for parrying enemy attacks. Perfect parries fully charge the shield, allowing for a shield strike that can significantly stun enemies.
  • Shatter Star Shield: A shield forged from the radiant light of a thousand dying stars. This shield builds up charge while Kratos is blocking, and its ability allows Kratos to then punch into the shield to blast said energy into enemies, and it can even nullify all enemy attacks, including AoE attacks.
  • Onslaught Shield: This shield charges up as Kratos charges into his enemies with this shield.
  • Draupnir: The Draupnir Spear is a magic, self-duplicating spear forged from its namesake magical ring by The Lady of the Forge, with Brok's aid, to kill Heimdall and overcome his foresight. It can command the power of the winds to create powerful tornadoes and gusts as well as vacuums to destroy its foes, and it can even generate powerful explosions. Imbued with the blood of Kratos and blessed by Brok, it is a weapon fit for a god.
  • Hilt of Hǫfuð: Heimdall's magical sword, it has the ability to trigger a Realm Shift, which not only manipulates and distorts space and time, but also shifts entire singular realms.
  • Gjallarhorn: The legendary apocalyptic horn of inciting Ragnarök, taken from the lifeless corpse of Heimdall. 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 for the armies to invade Asgard.

Intelligence: Gifted (Kratos was a Spartan Commander, the youngest ever to become a captain, who won many battles and had experience battling many supernatural foes. He comes up with brutally creative ways to kill his enemies, so they won't be a future obstacle. 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. Repeatedly stated by Ares and Orkos to be the Perfect Warrior, Ares having molded Kratos for the sole purpose of tearing down the very walls of Olympus itself,[26] a prophecy which he unwittingly fulfilled after killing Ares and becoming the new God of War,[17][36] with both Ares and Kratos having complete knowledge and awareness of all forms of war and combat across all of time due to their rank as the God of War.[61] During his battle with Ares, he also fought against multiple younger clones of himself who were stated to be much stronger, faster, more agile, more skilled and considerably more bloodlusted, and Kratos brutally killed all of them, threatening Ares to send more and saying that none would ever reach his family.[125] Also stated by Athena to be a warrior who is second to none,[117] and the Sisters of Fate also agreed to this, stating that if not even the Warrior of Destiny or Perseus could stop Kratos, nobody else could either without manipulating his Thread of Fate.[31] 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)

Weaknesses: Kratos' anger management issues make him prone to impulsive and violent behavior as well as severe judgment impairment. However, this weakness was alleviated in the 2018 game. Kratos is now much calmer and wiser for the sake of his son. Abhors hurting human children (And by extension, humanoid-looking children), even at his worst.

Feats:

  • As a young boy, Kratos easily bested Spartan Warriors many time his years, becoming the youngest military leader of Sparta as a result of his ferocity[126]
  • Repeatedly stated by Ares and Orkos to be the Perfect Warrior, Ares having molded Kratos for the sole purpose of tearing down the very walls of Olympus itself[133]
  • After killing Ares, Kratos succeeds him as the new God of War. As a result, he gained complete knowledge and awareness of all forms of war and combat across all of space and time due to having obtained the rank of the God of War.[136]
  • Stated to be "second to none" by Athena,[117] killing any demigod he meets with ease, with even the Sisters of Fate reaffirming the notion as well, stating that if neither the Dark Rider or Perseus could stop him, no one else could[118]
