The characters of the God of War video game series belong to a fictional universe loosely based on Greek mythology and Scandinavian mythology. Therefore, the series includes a number of traditional figures, including those from Greek mythology such as the Olympic Gods, Titans and Greek heroes, and Scandinavian mythology, including the gods of Isir and Vanir and other beings. A number of original characters have also been created to support storylines. The general story arc series is the only playable single player character that focuses on the protagonist Kratos, a Spartan warrior who is pursuing himself visions of accidentally killing his wife and child. The character eventually takes revenge on his family by killing his old master and manipulator Ares, the God of War. Although Kratos became the new God of War, he is still disturbed by nightmares and was betrayed by Zeus, King of the Olympian Gods, who was finally discovered to be Kratos' father by the goddess Athena. Constant processing of the gods and Titans and abuse of Kratos eventually pushes him to destroy Mount Olympus. Years after the fall of Olympus, Kratos ends in Midgard with a son named Atreus. She educates and teaches the child while hiding her past. The child's journey to promise his late mother ends with the enemies of the Scandinavian gods of Kratos and Atreus.
