the God of War, who is responsible for Kratos accidentally killing his
wife and child. As Ares ravages Athens, Kratos embarks on a quest to
find the one object capable of stopping the god: the legendary Pandora's Box. Ultimately successful, Kratos replaces Ares as the new God of War. God of War is the third chapter in the series, which focuses on vengeance as its central theme.
