Assassin

The mysterious enemy

The Assassin is a mysterious character seen only in God of War: Betrayal.

In God of War: Betrayal

He appears right after Argos, pet of Hera and an enemy of Kratos, fell into a sewer. The assassin jumped out from the left wall, quickly killed the creature and ran away. Kratos confronted him, but the assassin did not speak and ran away again, forcing Kratos to give pursuit all over Greece, through ruins, catacombs and a tower. During this chase, various minions of Hades appeared, including undead soldiers and cerberus, leading Kratos to believe that it was the god of the Underworld trying to turn the other gods against Kratos. Later, Kratos made his way to the top of a tower, where he lost trace of the Assassin. Ceryx then appeared, demanding Kratos to stop his pursuit. Kratos fought Ceryx, but the Assassin managed to escape. One assumption is that the Assassin was really a moniker in disguise for Hermes, the messenger of the gods. In mythology, it is stated he killed Argos.

Appearance and Abilities

Assassin is a shady man who wears black rags and a hood over his head. Two red glowing eyes are visible under the hood. The Assassin wears two swords which he used to slay Argos. It is interesting to note that, while killing Argos, assassin appears to have left marks similar to that of Kratos' blades. Assassin is incredibly fast and agile, and apparently has some superhuman powers, as he was able to hide from the God of War.
