Krato’s Blades of Chaos were a pair of blades made by Ares, the Gods of war. Ares had the blades made for a servant to prove worthy of his service .These blades were the first pair of chained blades that Kratos used in the God of war series.
ORIGIN
The Blades of Chaos were fashioned in the depths of underworld by Ares himself. These blades had the ability to stretch out a set distance with each attack, this allowed fluid-like movement in spite of the person bearing the blades. Since the blades were imbued with fire, the chains and blades ignited with every attack the user performed. In spite of the advantages the blades offered to the person bearing them, there was a catch. The chains of the blades were imbedded permanently on the forearms of the wielder. These served as a reminder of their loyalty to Ares. The only way a person could be freed of the blades was if the bearer’s time of servitude ended or Ares removed them.
When Kratos pledged loyalty to the God of war, the blades were fetched by Ares’s harpies and bestowed on the Spartan. After Ares annihilated the Barbarian forces, Kratos used the blades to get his sweet revenge on Alik, the Barbarian King. Throughout his service to Ares, Kratos seemed oblivious to everything else and often engaged in questionable activities and extreme brutality. At the height of his service to Ares, Kratos was so driven by his loyalty to the gods that he even used the blades against his own family unknowingly when Ares set him on a god-driven rage.
After Ares mislead Kratos into murdering own family in the temple of Athena, he was so angry that he sought to kill the God of war. In retaliation, Ares had the Blades stripped from him when Kratos tried to defend his family against Ares tactics. Once the blades were taken, Ares manipulated the blades to attack Kratos family and he was forced to watch helplessly in horror as they were murdered. When Ares finally fell from power, Krato’s Blades of Chaos were never seen again. Later Kratos was given the Blades of Athena by his patron and became the God of War.
