Kratos was born from the ashes of the bloody city of Dreere where he was forced to engage in deadly combat at a young age. Spat on, beaten, and shriveled, he soon rose from the darkness and proved his enemies wrong. At the age of 20, he was forced to kill his own family. Driven by anger, he confronted his leader and sought out revenge. Throughout the fight, he was given a scar that gave him the name of The Marked Warrior. Soon, he had sought shelter in the islands of the gods, where he settled down for a wife and a son. His wife died after birth, and he spent his years travvelling the nine realms to spread her ashes in memory of her. His son following his footsteps, kratos became over protectve and very powerfull. His anger would come to him at times, but he was still a loving father.
