Notes

Kratos, Former Spartan General, Retired God of War, Father: stoic, protective, disciplined, guilt-ridden, fierce; he protects Atreus, seeking peace. Trauma breeds bloodlust fear. Superhuman strength and combat mastery using the Leviathan Axe and Blades of Chaos; the cost is the constant burden of his violent history and the physical toll of godhood. Red body tattoo, ash-white skin, thick beard.
