Kratos
Kratos, known by the Jötnar as Fárbauti, is the protagonist of the God of War series. Born in Sparta, Kratos is a demigod son of Zeus and is later a full God himself by becoming the titular God of War, with incredible superhuman god-like power and combat skills.
Kratos was once a respected soldier and Spartan General until he lost his wife and daughter when he killed them, albeit by accident, under Ares’ command, earning him the nickname of the “Ghost of Sparta”, after which he renounced his service to the War God, eventually killing him and ascending to Godhood by becoming the new and full “God of War”.
