Over the last 20 days, we’ve been giving you a look at each of the 20 different All-Stars characters. But now the game is out, and the Daily Reaction team of Seb and Dan have saved a god for you.
Name: Kratos
Origin: Once a merciless captain of the Spartan army, Kratos led his army to victory after victory – but when he was losing to a barbarian warlord he pledged his soul to Ares… the God of War. Ares gave him powers and bound the mythical Blades of Chaos to him, allowing Kratos to kill the barbarian and then go on to wreak havoc across Greece. To make Kratos the perfect soldier, Ares then tricked him into attacking a village where his wife and child were staying, causing him to accidentally kill them. The oracle of the village cursed Kratos so the ashes of his family were stuck to his skin, turning it ash-white (Ghost of Sparta), no matter how much tanning lotion he used.
He then vowed to serve the other gods, and is eventually given one final task – to kill Ares, the God of War.

Memorable Quotes:
God of war. I haven’t forgotten you. For what you did that night, this city will be your grave…If all those on Olympus would deny me my vengeance, then all of Olympus will die.
I am what the gods have made me!
The monster you created has returned… to kill you!
By the gods, what have I become?
My vengeance ends now.
