The story is told mostly in flashback story, after being framed with a scene from the present wherein Kratos, standing atop the tallest cliff in Greece, laments how the gods have abandoned him and tosses himself into the waters below.While the player starts the game Battle of God: Warrior Sparta three weeks prior to this event, Heroes background is told by the Narrator during the game (revealed to be the Titan Gaia in God of War). Kratos was a fearsome Spartan warrior, and grew his fifty-man squad into an army of thousands via strategy, tactics, ferocity and conquest. However, in a battle against a barbarian horde, his army was massacred, and, in a desperate measure, Heroes offered his life and service to Ares, the Battle of God: Warrior Sparta , in exchange for Ares defeating the Barbarians. Ares, sensing enormous power in Kratos, accepted his offer and destroyed the Barbarians. He also granted Heroes the Blades of Chaos, curved blades forged in the pits of Hades that were attached to long chains which were fused to Heroes arms.Kratos then became Ares' servant, leading his Spartan army in conquering much of Greece. In one battle, they came across a village that worshiped Athena and put the residents to the sword, and their homes to the flame. There, Ares put Heroes into a blood lust driven rage and it made him kill anyone standing in his way. Despite his own foreboding feelings and the warnings of the local oracle, Kratos entered the village's temple and slaughtered all within. Unfortunately, after his blood-lust cleared, he realized that his two last victims had been his own wife and daughter; Ares explained that this village had been a test of Heroes power, severing the last of his humanity. The village Oracle cursed Heroes, binding the ashes of his dead family to his skin; this new pale coating gave rise to Heroes new title, "the Ghost of Sparta." and it made everyone in Greece fear him. Kratos renounced his service to Ares and began to wander the Earth, lamenting his deeds, while serving the other gods of Olympus for ten years. 故事是说主要是在倒叙的故事，有一个场景被构筑从目前其中奎托斯之后，站在希腊最高的悬崖上，感叹怎么众神已经抛弃了他，自己扔到下面的水域。当玩家开始神的游戏的战斗：三个星期之前，这一事件斯巴达战士，英雄背景由讲述人游戏（显露是泰坦Gaia在战神）时说。奎托斯曾是一个可怕的斯巴达勇士，并且增长带领五十人名单成通过战略，战术，凶猛和征服成千上万的军队。然而，在对野蛮人部落的战斗，他的军队被屠杀，并在一个苦肉计，英雄提供了他的生活和服务战神，神之战：战士斯巴达，以换取战神击败野蛮人。战神奎托斯在传感巨大的力量，接受了他的提议，并摧毁了野蛮人。他也被授予英雄混沌之刃，弯曲叶片被装到被融合到英雄胳膊长链的地狱坑伪造的。奎托斯然后成为Ares的仆人，带领他的斯巴达军队征服多少希腊。在一次战斗中，他们遇到了一个村庄，崇拜雅典娜，并把居民剑，和家园的火焰。还有，把战神英雄进入血液欲望推动的愤怒，这让他杀死任何人站在他的方式。尽管他自己的预感感受和本地Oracle的警告，奎托斯进了村里的寺庙和所有内宰杀。不幸的是，他的血液 - 欲望清除后，他意识到，他的最后两名遇难者是他自己的妻子和女儿;战神解释说，这个村曾经的英雄力量的考验，撞断了他最后的人性。村里甲骨文诅咒的英雄，他的死全家的骨灰结合他的皮肤;这种新涂层苍白引起了英雄新的标题，“斯巴达幽灵”。它让每个人都在希腊敬畏他。奎托斯放弃了他的服务，战神，并开始在地球上流浪，感叹他的事迹，而服务奥林巴斯的其他神十年。
