Kratos (God of War)

Kratos or The Ghost of Sparta, is the protagonist of the video game franchise God of War. He is a demigod (turned God) son of Zeus and was originally a general in the Spartan army and eventual god of war, who was well known for being cursed after accidentally murdering his wife and child whom he wears the ashes of.

Why He Rocks

 * 1) He has been shown to be a great father and teacher to Atreus.
 * 2) Despite his brutality, he isn't completely heartless as he tried to save Pandora from sacrificing herself and only murdered Hephaestus because he attacked him first.
 * 3) He had good reason to go after Zeus since he tried to kill Kratos all because he feared that Kratos would betray him and the fact that the gods took his brother from him.
 * 4) Terrence C. Carson (Greek Kratos) and Christopher Judge (Norse Kratos) both did great jobs with their performances of Kratos.
 * 5) After the events of God of War III, he learned from his mistakes and tried to become a better person and teach his son not to become like he was.
 * 6) He saved his daughter and the world from Persephone, but in turn was never able to be with his daughter ever again.
 * 7) His design is very unique.
 * 8) He has been shown to have some mercy since he tried to talk Hercules out of fighting. Although, that didn't last long.
 * 9) He has shown to be a great warrior.
 * 10) Despite what he did to his wife and daughter, he has shown countless times that he loved them dearly.
 * 11) Even though he failed to save his brother, he gave him a proper burial with his mother.

Bad Qualities

 * 1) He has been shown to be a jerk at times like how he let the ship captain fall instead of saving him, he only wanted the key he had.
 * 2) His vengeance lead to the destruction of Greece.
 * 3) He (at times) lets his anger get the better of him like how he let go of Pandora to chase after Zeus when Zeus mocked him.
 * 4) When he made a deal with Ares he became very ruthless, killing lots of innocent people.
 * 5) He tried to save his brother Deimos from Thanatos, but unfortunately failed.
