His actions, based around the desire to overthrow Olympus, ultimately drive Kratos down the paths he takes; Kratos' own flaws play a role, but Ares leaned on them as hard as he could and set every destructive thing in motion that happens in the series.]] There's a reason the series is called ''GOD OF WAR'' instead of being named after Kratos.

Kratos appears to have two default settings, one being [[TheBerserker molten fury]] and the other a snide, rude asshole who cares nothing for the suffering of others (and often goes out of his way to cause it). His family's death isn't an excuse either: flashbacks show that he was largely the same before as well.

-->No! That door was my only escape! I have faced test after test in search of the Sisters. And now you have dashed it all away! You certainly do not live up to your reputation, Ghost of Sparta! But... perhaps this is a test. Are you watching me now, Sisters!? Give me a sign! Am I, the great Perseus, to kill this fallen god to recieve receive an audience with you? Will that allow me to bring my love back from the grasp of Hades himself!? If not, at least I can bathe in the glory of bringing down the mighty Kratos, the slayer of gods... Although I hardly think a harpie's fool such as yourself deserves such praise.

His actions, based around the desire to overthrow Olympus, ultimately drive Kratos down the paths he takes; Kratos' own flaws play a role, but Ares leaned on them as hard as he could and set every destructive thing in motion that happens in the series.]] There's a reason the series is called ''GOD OF WAR'' instead of being named after Kratos.

* TookALevelInJerkass: Make no mistake, Kratos was never a nice person. But, as seen in ''Ascension'', there was a time in which he still had some empathy for others. However, he gradually loses more and more of whatever standards he had left until, by the time by ''God Of War III'', he has cast almost all of his moral concerns aside.

His greatest moment being the circumstances that led him to swear his life to the War God. More obsessed with his reputation than his Spartan traditions, Kratos called upon Ares to bail him out when he was threatened by the Barbarian King and when blinded by rage, he will not hesitate to use dishonorable tactics to achieve his goals.
