“ | No, my poor, foolish son. It is the gods you must fear. | ” |
–Healer |
The Healer is a mysterious character who appeared in God of War (comics).
History[]
On his first quest for the Ambrosia, Kratos encountered a mysterious healer who aided him in his quest.
While making his way through a cave, Kratos came across the healer, who told him he would not succeed in his quest to save Calliope. Angered by his statement, Kratos grabbed the healer by the throat, who held Kratos back by giving him the Flames of Apollo. He warned Kratos the Flames would only aid him, not protect him, but his warnings were disregarded by Kratos. He quietly told Kratos that it was in fact the Gods he should fear.
Trivia[]
- The healer's behavior with Kratos seems to indicate he is Zeus in disguise.
- A major hint, is that he referred to Kratos as "my foolish son".
- If he is Zeus this would make him the first mortal disguise Zeus created aside from the Grave Digger who (chronologically) appeared after the events in the comics.
- It's also speculated by God of War YouTuber Kaptain Kuba that this is actually Apollo in disguise since he gave Kratos the Flames of Apollo, which would logically be something that Apollo would have as the God of the Sun alongside Helios, not to mention many fire related things in the God of War series has Apollo's name in them.
- It also would make sense for him to be Apollo since he, besides Asclepius, is the God of Healing, so him having the disguise of someone known as "The Healer" would fit under one of his godly titles.
- His warning to Kratos also came off as a sign of worry, not as a threat.
