Kratos uses the Efreet.
Concept artwork for the Efreet.
Mythology
The Efreet (afreet, afrit, or afrite, Arabic (male) ʿifrīt/عفريت or (female) ʿifrītah/عفريته) was a demonic fire spirit from Arabian mythology (not Persian mythology). It was classified as being an evil type of Djinn or Genie, from a class of infernal jinn (spirits below the level of angels and devils) noted for their strength and cunning. Furthermore, mythology depicted an ifrit as an enormous creature of fire and smoke, either male or female, who lives underground and frequents ruins.
In God of War: Chains of Olympus
In God of War: Chains of Olympus, the Persian King apparently has the ability to summon the Efreet. Kratos however then gains the power after defeating the king at Attica. When used, it unleashes the fire spirit which attacks all surrounding enemies. It can also be leveled up, to increase the damage it does, and to receive new abilities.

Trivia
Although the Efreet was a creature from Arabian mythology the Persian King was able to summon it to aide him in God of War: Chains of Olympus. It should be noted however that the Persian empire concord most of the north eastern Arab territories centuries ago, and so it is highly likely that the Persian King captured the Efreet in one of his conquests of Arabia, just like he was able to bring the Basilisk with his fleet to invade Attica even if the Basilisk was in fact a creature from Greek, Roman, and Medieval European mythology, seeing as the Persians invaded Greece on several occasions.
