God of War

Kratos is a warrior in the service of the Greek gods of Olympus. It is revealed in a series of flashbacks that Kratos was once a captain in the Spartan army. A fierce warrior, Kratos led his army to several victories, until finally outmatched by an invading horde of barbarians. Outnumbered and on the verge of being killed by the Barbarian King, Kratos calls to the God of War, Ares, whom he promises to serve if the god would spare the Spartans and provide the power to destroy their enemies.
