Ancient Greece knew no more bloodthirsty a warrior than Kratos, who for a time was the God of War.
Mortal once more, Kratos withdrew from the ages-old clash between men and gods. But his solitude
was broken when he was ripped through space and time. As the madness subsided, Kratos found
himself in present-day Outworld, kneeling before Shao Kahn. To ensure his victory in Mortal
Kombat, the emperor had invoked an ancient ritual, sacrificing the souls of his vanguard to summon
and enslave the most powerful warrior of all time. But the spell alone could not contain Kratos,
who soon regained his free will. Enraged by Shao Kahn's arrogance, Kratos vowed to rip the
warlord's spine from his body. The God of War had returned to battle.
