He hunts those who betray and trick others. His patron is Nemesis, who sends him to earth to do his work. Kratos is a Spartan legend, spawned from the Greek Pantheon. He is also looking for Vengance.

It's a certain point in every medium: "Just so done." It's where the protagonist is COMPLETELY done with all the shit that the antagonist has thrown and continues to throw at them and is just like "fuck this and fuck you." It's usually where the antagonist dies horribly.
people ask why marius only died at the end, in the story he comes back as a vengeful spirit to kill the emperor and the generals that left him, so during that hallway scene he was basically immortal until the emperor was dead. pretty cool if im honest.
