Kratos is the main character in Sony Computer Entertainment's God of War series, which is loosely based on Greek mythology. Kratos first appeared in God of War, which was released in March 2005, and whose success led to the development of five additional games featuring him as the protagonist. He appears as a guest character in the PlayStation 3 version of Mortal Kombat (2011) because Ed Boon and the Mortal Kombat team felt Kratos would "fit perfectly". However, he isn't part of the story mode.
Ancient Greece knew no more bloodthirsty a warrior than Kratos, who for a time was the God of War. Mortal once more, Kratos withdrew from the ages-old clash between men and gods. But his solitude was broken when he was ripped through space and time. As the madness subsided, Kratos found himself in present-day Outworld, kneeling before Shao Kahn. To ensure his victory in Mortal Kombat, the emperor had invoked an ancient ritual, sacrificing the souls of his vanguard to summon and enslave the most powerful warrior of all time. But the spell alone could not contain Kratos, who soon regained his free will. Enraged by Shao Kahn's arrogance, Kratos vowed to rip the warlord's spine from his body. The God of War had returned to battle.
Signature Moves
Kratos' fighting style often uses the Blades of Exile in his combos. He also has other weapons from the third game as well, such as the Nemean Cestus, the Bow of Apollo, the Head of Helios and Blade of Olympus.
Apollo's Bow: Kratos pulls out the Bow of Apollo and shoots two arrows.
* The enhanced version is called Apollo's Inferno. Kratos fires three flaming arrows in an arc.
Golden Fleece: After parrying an attack, Kratos slams his Blades of Exile on the ground, creating a shockwave that sends his opponent into the air.
* The enhanced version is called Argos Ram. Kratos slams his blades on the ground, causing a shockwave.
Head Of Helios: Kratos pulls out the Head of Helios, which emits a small shockwave of light that blinds the opponent, leaving them vulnerable for a second attack.
* The enhanced version is called Helios Flare and has a longer range.
Zeus' Rage: A quicktime event style move where Kratos slashes the opponent and then punches them when they're on their knees.
* The enhanced version is called Revenge Of Olympus and adds a stab with the Blade of Olympus.
Hermes Dash: Using the Boots of Hermes, Kratos dashes through his opponent, damaging him/her and leaving a trail of fire. It can be charged.
The enhanced version is called Hermes Rush and is slightly more damaging.
X-Ray Move - Nemean Cestus: Kratos anchors himself to his opponent with his Blades of Exile, then slides toward them. He then stabs his opponent with both Blades as he reaches him/her, slicing the ribcage. Then, he punches the opponent in the face with the Nemean Cestus, shattering their skull.
Fatalities
Blade of Olympus: Kratos stabs the opponent with both Blades of Exile, wrenching out pieces of flesh as they are removed. As the opponent tries to stop the bleeding, Kratos draws the Blade of Olympus and drives it through their chest, finally slicing vertically through their torso. After a while, the sliced body stops moving and falls. Kratos then drives the blade into the ground, growling.
Medusa's Gaze: Kratos pulls out Medusa's Head and turns the petrified opponent to stone. Then he wields the Nemean Cestus and lunges through the opponent, shattering them into tiny pieces.
Babality: Kratos starts pulling on a Medusa plush doll's head until it is ripped off and holds it triumphantly.
