Helios (Greek: Ἥλιος) was the Olympian Titan God of The Sun and Guardian of Oaths. He is a major character in God of War: Chains of Olympus, and a major antagonist in God of War III.

While being the force which brings life to the world, and generally acting only as a neutral being, Helios displays many of the same flaws of the other Gods, being extremely arrogant and viewing mortals as insignificant. Even in the face of his death, he showed great pride in himself, and attempted to deceive Kratos.
