Kratos

In the God of War series, Kratos—referred to by the Jötnar as Fárbauti—is the main character. Kratos, a demigod son of Zeus who was born in Sparta, eventually attained complete divinity and took on the title of God of War, possessing amazing superhuman strength and fighting prowess.Once a well-liked soldier and Spartan general, Kratos lost his wife and daughter when he accidentally killed them while serving as Ares' commander. This earned him the moniker "Ghost of Sparta," and he later renounced his service to the War God, killing him to become the new and complete "God of War."

Atreus

The deuteragonist of God of War (2018) is Atreus, the son of Kratos and Laufey. He's known to the Jötnar as Loki. Kratos explains to his kid that his ancestor was a legendary warrior from Sparta who, in contrast to the majority of Spartans, was joyful and full of life.Atreus is a Frost Giantess and the son of the old Olympian God of War, which probably explains why he has extraordinary physical prowess. Mimir observes that because of his unusual ancestry, Atreus has not yet realised the full range of his ability.The cunning trickster of Norse mythology is called Loki. Laufey is his mother, while the enormous Jötunn Farbauti is his father. Helbindi and Býleistr have him as a brother. Hel, Jörmungandr, and Fenrir are the children of Loki and the giantess Angrboða.

Mimir

Mimir, a Norse mythological character renowned for his intelligence and wisdom and an ally of Kratos and Atreus, is also regarded as the Smartest Man Alive and goes by the moniker Head, given by Kratos. Before Odin put him in jail 109 years ago, he served as the Aesir Gods' emissary and counsellor. He plays the role of God of War's tritagonist (2018). In Old Norse, Mímir means "the rememberer" or "the wise one."He is a well-known, wise, and knowledgeable person in Norse mythology. During the Æsir-Vanir War, he is decapitated by the Vanir Gods. After the Vanir give it to Odin, Odin uses magic to bring Mimir's head back to life. Subsequently, Odin encircles Mímir's head, reciting to him hidden wisdom. He is Odin's maternal uncle.

Thor

The god of thunder, lightning, storms, and power in Norse mythology is called Thor. The son of Odin and father of Magni and Modi.

Odin caught Sköll and Hati as puppies and put them in the Asgardian kennels to protect them from their father Hróðvitnir, one of the Aesir's most formidable foes.In Norse mythology, Ragnarök begins when Sköll and Hati pursue the horse-drawn chariots of Sól and Máni, the personified sun and moon, respectively, day and night until they are eventually caught.

Baldur responds to Odin's summons to locate this warrior.The Giants were aware of everything that transpired during Ragnarok and that Baldur was destined to perish at Kratos' hands. As Baldur was pursuing Kratos' wife, Faye, he didn't know she was reduced to ashes, and Kratos came to the realisation that Baldur was never supposed to search for him. Despite Baldur's attempt on her life, Freya is left saddened and furious at his death. She gives Kratos a vow of vengeance before removing her son's corpse and running away.
