Contents.Concept and design In designing Kratos, (2005) creator and game director attempted to create a character that looked brutal, but did not resemble a typical. The character would not wear traditional armor as Jaffe wanted him to be individualistic. Although the idea of using a fully masked character was approved, the concept was abandoned as the design seemed soulless and lacked a defined personality. Some models included unconventional elements, such as portraying him carrying an infant on his back, while others had excessive detail, such as hair and other 'flowing things'. Early concept art by Kratos' original designer/creator Charlie Wen, depicting unused variations of Kratos (although the variations were later used in God of War III as bonus costumes).Charlie Wen, director of visual development on God of War (2005) and, was responsible for designing Kratos. Wen said that his direction for designing Kratos was as much influenced by similarly themed films as it was by pop culture, which led him to conceive Kratos on a series of napkins at a restaurant, introducing the idea of the double-chained blades and eventually Kratos' iconic design. Double-chained blades were chosen as Kratos' signature weapon because they emphasized the character's animal nature while also allowing combat to remain fluid.
Wen visualized the double-chained blades activating simultaneously as Kratos threw them with a balance of ferocity and accuracy. Jaffe said of the final version of the character, 'Kratos may not totally feel at home in Ancient Greece from a costume standpoint, I think he achieves the greater purpose which is to give players a character who they can play who really does just let them go nuts and unleash the nasty fantasies that they have in their head.' Wen gave Kratos his most noticeable feature, his ash-white complexion, a story development which earns him the title 'Ghost of Sparta.' Other distinctive features include a scar across his right eye, and a large, red tattoo that threads from his left eye, circles his left torso, and ends at his left shoulder. The tattoo was originally blue, but was changed late in production. In the series lore, the scar is eventually revealed to be the result of a childhood encounter with the, while the tattoo is a tribute to his dead brother Deimos, who had similar birth markings. Other changes that occur during the course of the Greek era of the series include the temporary addition of divine armor when Kratos is the God of War, an abdominal scar, ability-enhancing armor such as an called the (all God of War II), and the Boots of ( ).

Several costumes were available exclusively via pre-order and other promotions (e.g. God of War III, which features three costumes based on early sketches of the character) from the. Although many bonus costumes are consistent with story themes, others are humorous or farcical—such as the female costume 'Athena' and the 'Spud of War'.The character was given his name at a late stage in the development of the original game, after the character had already been fleshed out. Unaware of the actual appearing in, the creators coincidentally chose Kratos, the same Greek word meaning 'Strength', of which the mythological figure is the personification., who worked on the first two games and was game director of God of War III, called the naming coincidence a 'happy mistake', noting that the Kratos in the game and the one in Prometheus Bound are both 'pawns'. Zoran Iovanovici of observed with irony that, while the mythological Kratos is best known for chaining Prometheus, in God of War II, the video game character releases him. Classical scholar Sylwia Chmielewski states that the video game character Kratos draws extensively on other figures from Greek mythology, including the heroes, and, but his strongest influence is the hero (Roman ), who appears in God of War III with the Romanized name and is the character's half-brother.For 2018's God of War, Barlog explained that Kratos had to change his cycle of violence and learn how to control his rage. He said that Kratos had made many bad decisions, which led to the destruction of, and wanted to know what would happen if Kratos made a good decision. The birth of Barlog's own son influenced the idea of Kratos' character change. The canceled live-action was also an influence.
