Appears in	God of War: Ghost of Sparta

Thera was a character in God of War: Ghost of Sparta, appearing as an imprisoned lava titaness imprisoned inside the Methana Volcano. She speaks to Kratos during his mission to find his missing brother, Deimos and grants him her power to aid him in his quest, believing that he would help her and the titans.

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.

Trivia

• In God of War: Ghost of Sparta, Thera is voiced by Dee Dee Rescher.
• Thera is the third female Titan identified in the God of War series, the first being Gaia, Titan Goddess of the Earth, and the second being Rhea, the mother of Zeus.
• Thera is an original character in the game as the Titan does not exist in Greek mythology.
• The name Thera is actually the name of Santorini volcano which is to say that the eruption had destroyed the Minoan civilization, which according to some researchers, could have been the Atlantis described by Plato. This island was also the home of Poseidon's champion, Herodius, whom was killed by Kratos, during their search for the Ambrosia of Asclepius.
• Thera is the first person to mention Gaia just as Thanatos was the first to mention the Sisters of Fate. These characters would later appear in God of War II and play a huge role.
