Deimos

*"A Spartan never lets his back hit the ground. Right, brother?"*
―Deimos to Kratos[src]
**Deimos** (Ancient Greek: **Δείμος**) was the younger brother of Kratos. He was abducted by Ares during his childhood to avert a prophecy about the destruction of Mount Olympus. He was then tortured by Thanatos, God of Death for years in the Domain of Death. After he came of age in the Domain of Death, Deimos was fueled by hatred for the brother who had failed to save him from his torment. After Deimos was rescued by Kratos, and still held initial resentment toward him, he ultimately reconciled with his brother and joined forces with him to battle Thanatos only to be killed by the God of Death himself. That was not unavenged, however, as Kratos killed Thanatos shortly after. His death was the final straw which led to Kratos snapping at the gods and vowing to kill them.

## Biography

### Legacy

#### Remembered by Kratos

*"You have a brother?"
"His name was Deimos. When we were boys, he was taken by two Gods obsessed with prophecy. The Gods of my homeland seldom left survivors, so by the time I learned he had live, it was too late for amends. His anger poisoned him against me. But I never stopped loving my brother."*
―Freya and Kratos[src]

## Personality

*"Brother. You are safe now."
"Safe? You let this happen to me! You were supposed to protect me! Did you think I would forget? Did you think I would forgive? I will never forgive you, brother."*
―Kratos and Deimos[src]
Unlike his brother Kratos, Deimos was far more softhearted and kinder. Despite that, he greatly respected and loved his sibling and would always train with him to learn how to fight. However, after being separated from his family and enduring physical and psychological torture by Thanatos, Deimos became much more aggressive and warlike, just like his brother. Nevertheless, he still held a degree of compassion and care for Kratos despite his initial resentment and what had occurred, as illustrated by their reconciliation and shared goal to stop Thanatos.

### Abilities

* **Expert Combatant**: Deimos proved to be an exceptional hand-to-hand combatant, as he was able to best Kratos, a skilled warrior and God at the time, in single combat, armed with only a gauntlet (although Kratos did not fight Deimos in full potential because he would have caused serious damage to him), and briefly fight Thanatos long enough for Kratos to reach him. For that reason, it was presumed that it was because of his demigod attributes as a son of Zeus, just like his brother.
* **Weapon Mastery**: Deimos was also extremely proficient with the Arms of Sparta, a weapon he had never used before, displaying masterful usage of its offensive and defensive abilities during the fight against Thanatos.
