*"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, son... Today, we will be better."*
―Kratos to Atreus[src]
**Kratos** (Greek: **Κράτος**), also known as **Fárbauti** (Norse: **ᚠᚨᚱᛒᚨᚢᛏᛁ**), and the **God of War/Stríðsguð** (Nordic: **ᛊᛏᚱᛁᚦᛊᚷᚢᛞ**), is the son of Zeus and Callisto, but in fear of the prophecy of The Marked Warrior, Zeus would send two Greek Gods, Ares and Athena, to kidnap Kratos' brother, Deimos. Kratos, who was raised to be a warrior, married Lysandra and eventually had a child named Calliope. In an attempt to defeat the evil Barbarian King, Kratos made a blood oath with Ares, the God of War, in order to gain his support and win the battle. Agreeing, Ares is empowered by God and defeats the Barbarian King while continuing to serve the Gods. Kratos' life would change forever after Ares transported his family to the Temple of Athena in the same village that his Spartan Army was about to destroy. As this occurs, Kratos unintentionally murders his own family. Kratos begins a life filled with rage and the desire for vengeance after breaking Ares' blood oath.

Despite being kidnapped by the Furies and imprisoned for breaking his oath, Kratos was consumed by an uncontrollable rage. Determined to seek vengeance, he escaped his captivity and set out on a perilous journey, defeating the Furies along the way in his quest to defeat Ares. Kratos dedicated a decade of servitude in an attempt to gain the support of the Gods of Olympus in his quest to dethrone Ares. Kratos was tasked with finding the elusive Sun God, Helios, and ventured into the depths of the Underworld, eventually succeeding and earning the favor of the Goddess Athena. Athena gave Kratos divine advice, instructing him to use the power of Pandora's Box to defeat Ares. Kratos transcended mortal limitations by discovering Pandora's Box, an object of immense power, effectively elevating himself to the status of a deity. With his newfound godly abilities, he eventually succeeded in killing Ares and capturing the mighty throne of the "**God of War**."

Kratos, a Greek hero, seeks to find his lost brother Deimos but is defeated by Thanatos, the Primordial God of Death. He assassinates Thanatos and vows revenge on the Gods of Olympus, leading an assault on Greece to attract their attention. Zeus gives Kratos one last chance to serve, but he refuses, leading to his murder and banishment into the Underworld. Kratos travels through the Underworld to assassinate Zeus, killing the Sisters of Fate and using their Mirrors of Destiny to stop his murder. Athena sacrifices herself, and Zeus escapes. Kratos uses the Mirrors of Destiny to recruit the Titans before they are defeated by the Gods. He leads an assault on Mount Olympus, causing floods and plagues to destroy the Greek World. Kratos kills the Gods one by one, eventually punching Zeus to death. Kratos attempts suicide to atone for his crimes, but appears to have survived his own attack.

## Attributes

### Powers

*"I was born a god. And so were you."*
―Kratos to Atreus[src]
* **Transcendent Physiology** - Kratos was born a demigod, the son of Zeus, King of the Gods, and Callisto, a mortal woman, with godly superhuman powers and abilities. His acquiring the Power of Hope and becoming a "true" God; the God of War, dramatically enhanced Kratos' powers, allowing him to become the most powerful deity in the Greek World, surpassing and killing all the Olympian Gods and Titans. Kratos' godly physical prowess and abilities have grown over time after leaving Greece, despite the magics he had lost to, and being older. Despite his power being suppressed, Kratos is far more powerful than and capable of dispatching armies of monsters in the Nine Realms. He can also easily fight and defeat Norse Gods on the level of Magni, Modi, Baldur, and Heimdall, the former two being powerful Thor's sons and the latter two being among the Aesir's strongest as Odin's sons. Kratos even managed to match and eventually defeat Thor, the physically strongest and second most powerful Norse God, despite being exhausted from fighting Jörmungandr and Surtr. Even Odin is terrified of his involvement in Ragnarök, and he is attempting to avoid conflict with the God of War/Ghost of Sparta, who formerly possessed the Power of Hope.
	+ **Immeasurable Strength** - To be added.
	+ **Nigh-Invulnerability** - Kratos has an incredible physical endurance. He can easily fall from great heights and walk away unharmed, and withstand crushing, stabbings, beatings, and powerful magical attacks with little injuries, attacks that would instantly kill any normal human, beast, or even other demigods, having taken numerous extremely strong physical attacks from the Gods and Titans and mostly survived with only minor wounds and damage. In the Norse Realm, Kratos remains incredibly durable despite his age, despite being hampered at first by his lack of fighting against threatening opponents and also due to Kratos holding himself back. He withstood multiple harsh attacks from Baldur, who needed three rounds of fighting to beat him to a bloody pulp, and even then, Kratos was in better physical shape than Baldur by the end of their first fight. Despite his continued restraint of his full power, Kratos was able to withstand multiple extremely powerful blows from Thor, whose blows he described as "as heavy as any he had felt," with only average damage and continue fighting, despite being briefly killed by the God of Thunder before being revived to continue their fight. At his peak, Kratos was able to withstand blows from an enraged Thor, being thrown several feet away, punched, and even shrugging off a hit with Mjölnir to the head with little damage. Despite being worn down, Kratos easily survived being impaled through the side with Gungnir. He is also fully capable of surviving in harsh environments, as he was unaffected by the cold of Hel, which not even Odin could physically survive without the use of a spell, nor the heat of Muspelheim, and was able to withstand the flow of Surtr's flames into his Blades of Chaos with only minor discomfort.
	+ **Superhuman Speed** - To be added.
	+ **Superhuman Agility** - Kratos has incredible agility, easily climbing mountains and buildings, jumping great heights and landing safely, and swinging on ropes to cross long gaps. His coordination is also impressive, allowing him to easily keep up with struggling beasts.
	+ **Superhuman Stamina** - Kratos has nearly unlimited stamina in comparison to a mortal man, allowing him to be constantly active for days without tiring. This enables him to perform feats such as spending days scaling Pandora's temple to reach Pandora's Box or taking down massive monsters that require him to stay on the move. If Kratos uses up all of his stamina, he only needs rest or food to replenish it. In the Norse Realm, Kratos' old age has reduced his stamina and vitality, which has been exacerbated by his lack of practice against powerful opponents, but he still remained exceptionally vigorous even at the start of his and Atreus' journey, fighting and defeating Baldur three times despite Baldur's invulnerability, which meant whenever Kratos killed him, he would quickly resurrect, and still had just enough strength to walk back to his home. As he continued on his journey, his stamina steadily increased as he re-acquainted himself with performing at high levels once more, traversing the Nine Realms while defeating countless enemies with increasing vigor and even besting gods on Magni and Baldur's level, all while showing only minor fatigue. Kratos had already demonstrated greater stamina than before by the end of Fimbulwinter, with Mimir remarking that at this point, Kratos could stay awake for days without difficulty, as he was able to fight off Freya in an intense battle while showing no fatigue. He was able to search for Atreus for hours after only a few moments of rest, overpower his bear form in a fierce fight without slowing down despite being noticeably challenged by his son's transformation, and with only a few moments of rest, had enough energy to reach a stalemate with Thor in a brutal prolonged battle with only minimal effect on his performance, and despite the clear strain and fatigue from the affair, managed to follow his son to the mural of the Celestial Wolves. Kratos fought through numerous Asgard forces, including the "endless" army of the Einherjar, until he finally overpowered a tired and relinquished Thor, remaining strong enough to handle and defeat Odin with the help of Atreus, Freya, and Thor.
	+ **Superhuman Reflexes** - To be added.
	+ **Enhanced Senses** - Kratos' senses are heightened, causing him to be more aware of his surroundings and to detect danger when it is close.
	+ **Regenerative Healing Factor** - Kratos' regenerative healing factor enables him to quickly heal and regenerate from injuries, allowing him to recover from attacks that would normally kill other beings. He can also regenerate after being struck by divine beings or divine weaponry, though divine weapons can still leave scratches and scars. If necessary, Kratos can focus his energy to heal himself almost instantly from even the most severe injuries, including those caused by Baldur and Thor.
	+ **Immortality** - Kratos was cursed for his sins to never die, which is how he survived his suicide with the Blade of Olympus. Despite physically aging, he will not die of old age, and his aging appears to have been slowed by the time he was an old man, as he remained in his 50's from the time, he first met his second wife until the time he finally completed his journeys in the Norse Realm.
	+ **Anger Empowerment** - To be added.
