God of War: Ghost of Sparta[]
One of the titans that possesses the power of lava, she was imprisoned inside the Methana Volcano outside of Atlantis by Poseidon. She appears to be the core of the volcanic activity within the mountain. There, Kratos was informed by her that his arrival was foretold by Gaia. Pleading to be released, Thera threatened Kratos that should he avoid her, they would both remain prisoners of their own torments.
Kratos hurled his blades into Thera's chest, thus receiving the power of Thera's Bane. This act also set Thera free, who then started tearing down her chains as Kratos left the chamber, leaving destruction in her wake. As the volcano erupted, she was seen rising out of her captivity in the distance. She left the chamber and destroyed most of Atlantis City as the city was covered in fire.
God of War III[]
It is likely that Thera along with some other Titans including Themis and Mnemosyne didn't joined Kratos in his assault against the Olympians.
