[edit] Description

Kratos Aurion (クラトス アウリオン Kuratosu Aurion) is a main character in Tales of Symphonia. He is a mercenary, who has an aura of both secrecy and arrogance around him. He is a mighty swordsman who first appears at the Martel Temple, stopping the Renegades during the first attack. He eliminates them easily, and everyone is infatuated with his strength. It is later revealed that he is one of Cruxis' Four Seraphim, sent to make sure that the Chosen does not stray from her path of World Regeneration. He is also one of Mithos Yggdrasill's former companions, along with Yuan and Martel.

[edit] History

As mentioned before, Kratos was one of Mithos Yggdrasill's ancient companions. He followed Mithos throughout the Kharlan War and after Martel was killed. This is when Mithos came up with his plan to bring Martel back to life. He sealed her life force inside the Great Seed and started trying to get a new body for her. This is when Kratos left Mithos' side. He wandered Sylvarant until he met a woman that he fell in love with named Anna. Anna had an exsphere on her that was crucial to the Angelus Project. Kvar, one of the five Desian Grand Cardinals, followed Kratos and Anna around Sylvarant. Throughout it all, Anna got pregnant and gave birth to Kratos' son Lloyd Irving. Somewhere near the Iselia area, Kvar caught up with them. Anna tore off her exsphere to throw at Kvar. When she did, she turned into a monster. An Exbelua. She turned on Kratos and her newborn son. Kratos defended himself and Lloyd. During the battle, Anna got back her humanity for a few seconds and begged Kratos to kill her before she did something she regretted. With tears in his eyes, Kratos mortally wounded her. Anna and Lloyd fell off of the cliff behing Kratos along with Anna's exsphere and Noishe, the family pet. When Kratos got down to the bottom of the gourge he found Anna's body, but there was no sign of anything else that had fallen. Without a reason to live, Kratos returned to Mithos and served by his side until the events of Symphonia.

[edit] Fighting Style

Kratos fights with a sword or a dagger. As a whole, Kratos depends on swords more while his counterpart, Zelos Wilder tends to lean towards daggers. Kratos knows many of the basic sword skills and can also cast attack magic and healing magic.
