Kratos is a Spartan warrior with superhuman godly-powers and abilities (due to the fact that he is the demigod son of Zeus the King of the Gods, which was never revealed in the first game until in the sequel) who serves the Gods of Olympus in Greece. Numerous flashbacks revealed that he was once a successful warrior but eventually became a bloodthirsty captain in the Spartan Army as he frequently led his men into several victories before being defeated by a Barbarian King, Alrik, Kratos' arch-enemy. Facing death, but refuse to surrender his defeat, Kratos called on the God of War, Ares, whom he promised to serve if the God would spare his men and provide the power to destroy their enemies. Ares agreed and bonded the Blades of Chaos, a pair of chained blades forged in the depths of Tartarus, to his new servant. Kratos, equipped with the blades, then decapitated the Alrik while Ares destroys Alrik's men, leading Kratos to regain his victory once more.
