–Orkos to Kratos. | ||
Orkos (Horkos in Greek mythology) is the deutoragonist in God of War: Ascension and is voiced by Troy Baker. He is a half-blood Fury and a Demigod, son of Ares and Alecto.
In Greek Mythology
Horkos is the personification of the oaths and the punishment for breaking the oaths. He is a son of Eris.
God of War: Ascension
Ares wanted to create the perfect warrior so he can use this warrior to overthrow Zeus and bring down the walls of Olympus, so he and the queen of the Furies, Alecto, mated and conceived a child that was Orkos. However, much to Ares' disappointment, Orkos was not what he hoped he would be.
Orkos' mother, however, spared him and made him the oath-keeper. Orkos, despite his heavy burden, was eager to please those who he thought loved him. However, Orkos saw the injustice in the Spartan Kratos' oath and turned against his mothers, the Furies. With the help of the Oracle of Delphi, they tried to warn Zeus of Ares' plot, but the Furies were sent after him. Orkos escaped and helped Kratos to be free of his bond with Ares.
Orkos' first meeting with Kratos ended up alarming him and causing the Spartan to attack, but Kratos ceased his onslaught when Orkos explained his motives. After aiding the ash-covered warrior further, both he and the Spartan were ambushed by the Furies, who then imprisoned Kratos in Aegaeon.
However, Kratos managed to defeat the Furies and returned to his home in Sparta, meeting with Orkos. Although the shade praises the warrior on his victory, he reveals that, before they were defeated, the Furies made him Kratos' oath-keeper once again, indicating that despite their efforts, Ares will retain control over both of them, lest the Spartan kill Orkos.
Orkos, begging Kratos to give him an honorable death, handed his blade over to the warrior, who then proceeded to stab him in the stomach, killing him thus freed the Spartan of his bond to Ares. After which, Kratos burned down his home, with the corpse of Orkos inside of it, before departing.
In chapter 19 of Rise of the Warrior, it is revealed that the Giver is Orkos.
