Summary
Kratos, prior to his gruesome present, was a powerful Spartan warrior. After his city threatened to collapse under an extended siege, Kratos begged the god Ares to assist them; in return, Kratos became Ares' champion and had his blades grafted into his wrists to show his servitude. However, Ares betrayed Kratos and tricked him into killing his family. Afterwards, Kratos made it his mission to kill Ares at whatever cost. He succeeded, though Kratos would afterwards come into conflict with many of the other Olympians, whom he killed as well. Unintentionally causing the end of Greece.
After surviving the end of Greece by unknown means, Kratos would travel to Scandinavia and have a son with his second wife. Now, he is doing the best he can to be a good father to his young son Atreus, teaching him all he knows to survive in the world of the Norse gods.
