Name: Kratos Aurion
Title: Great Demon
Age: 4000+ (looks 28)
Gender: Male
Species: Human/Angel
Canon or OC: Canon
Game: Symphonia
Overall Appearance: Kratos is at the height of six foot and one inches tall, and weighs just at one hundred and seventy-two lbs. His hair is auburn, more on the red side. His eyes is brownish red. Straight posture, has tendency to become a wallflower in a crowd, wears dark, sometimes muted colors, usually wears a cloak or epaulettes around his shoulders. He really comes off as intimidating at times, what with his almost statue like appearance and serious business face. Occasionally he has sparkly blue wings, but only once in a blue moon.
Face Claim: himself
Overall Personality: Kratos is displayed as a cold and heartless mercenary early in the game, though is also an expert in swordsmanship, a fact that makes Lloyd angry. The only thing he has in mind at the beginning of the game is to protect Colette, as that is what he is assigned to do. However, as the journey progresses, Kratos begins to open up a little, giving hints about a past where he made a terrible mistake.
Throughout the early stages of the game, Kratos displays outstanding knowledge of the ancient world, raising Raine's suspicions. Despite his secret agenda, Kratos takes a keen interest in Lloyd's development as a warrior, although he takes a fairly callous approach to this. Through a side-quest, Kratos will train him in swordsmanship and give him advice that helps the young boy to grow.
Despite his long life and many years of experience, Kratos is, up until the end of the game, a fatalist. For much of the game he believes that Mithos' is the only way. This changes if you trigger the scene with Kratos at Flanoir. It is Lloyd's actions that make him realize how much control of his destiny he really has.

History: Kratos's story actually begins approximately 4000 years before the events of Tales of Symphonia take place. Kratos, the only human companion of the hero Mithos Yggdrasill, traveled the world and helped to put an end to the Kharlan War, a war spanning one thousand years.
During these adventures, Mithos formed pacts with each of the Summon Spirits in the world. After the pact with the King of Summon Spirits, Origin, was formed, a seal based on Kratos himself was created to prevent anyone else from gaining Origin's power. This seal further prevented anyone from contacting Origin unless all of the mana was released from Kratos' body. Essentially, the seal could only be broken once Kratos' mana was released, ending his life. Mithos then had Origin create the Eternal Sword, which he used to split the world in two, thereby creating Sylvarant and Tethe'alla.
Shortly after Mithos, Kratos, Yuan and Martel ended the war, they were betrayed by a human who had aided them during their journey. This enigmatic human killed Martel. Mithos, driven mad with grief, misinterpreted her dying wish of a world free of discrimination believing it to be a wish for everyone to be the same. Mithos then established the order of Cruxis, with he, Kratos, and Yuan as its first angels. Since Kratos was human, and had no elven blood in his veins (unlike Mithos and Yuan, who were half-elves), he was forced to ingest a magical rock called Aionis, which allowed him to cast magic and use magical weapons, in order to become an angel. The companions became three of the Four Seraphim, with Martel being the fourth, ascended to Derris-Kharlan and founded the Church of Martel. They also founded the Desian organization, designed to aid Mithos in his plans.
After learning about Mithos' plans for the Age of Lifeless Beings, Kratos descended upon Sylvarant. There he met a human woman named Anna, a research subject in the Angelus Project, which attempted to culture a Cruxis Crystal within a human host. The two fell in love.
Kratos soon realized that there had to be a better way to reunite the two worlds, and so he began to search for a way for a human to wield the Eternal Sword, the omnipotent weapon that Mithos had used to split the worlds. However, the pair was forever pursued by Cruxis, and soon they had a child, Lloyd. Eventually, the Desian Grand Cardinal Kvar caught them, at which point Anna's Exsphere was removed. This caused her to become a mindless monster. She attacked the infant Lloyd, who was only saved when their pet Noishe interfered. These events caused Anna to temporarily regain her old self; she begged Kratos to kill her. He could not bring himself to do it, however, and Anna soon lost control again. She once again turned on Lloyd, and with Noishe too injured to help, Kratos killed her in desperation to save his son. Kvar then attacked, causing Lloyd, Noishe, and Anna to tumble down a cliff near the Iselia Human Ranch.
Kratos managed to defeat Kvar and his men, and then descended the cliff, only to find ravaged Desian corpses. Believing his family to be dead, Kratos lost all meaning in his life. He soon returned to Cruxis, where he aided Mithos, believing that the half-elf would reunite the two worlds after Martel was revived.
When the Cruxis Crystal kept in Iselia's Martel Temple shines, Mithos sends Kratos to watch over Colette and make sure she does not stray from the Journey of Regeneration. He appears to Lloyd, Genis and Colette as they battle a fierce warrior of a group the locals believe to be the Desians but are actually the Renegades: Vidarr. After defeating him, Kratos introduces himself as a mercenary, at which point Phaidra, Colette's grandmother, hires him to protect the Chosen. When the party travels to Dirk's house so Colette can speak to Lloyd, Kratos sees Anna's grave. It is at this point that he realizes that Lloyd is his son.
Once the party reaches the Tower of Salvation, Kratos goes on ahead of Lloyd and the others with Colette, delivering her to Cruxis. Lloyd and the others arrive just as Colette prepares to become a true angel, sacrificing her memory and her heart. Remiel reveals this to the party, and attacks them. The group manages to defeat him, and when Kratos reveals himself, Remiel begs for Kratos to save him. Kratos points out the irony that Remiel begs for help from a former human and allows him to die. Kratos then reveals himself as an angel of Cruxis. When Lloyd and the others learn this, they engage in a near-impossible battle with Kratos. Afterwards, Yggdrasill himself comes to the tower and is about to kill the entire party before they are taken away by the Renegades.
Kratos is encountered once again in Tethe'alla, atop the Fooji Mountains when the party goes there to retrieve the Rheairds. During these events the party becomes aware that there is some relation between Yuan, who they know only as the leader of the Renegades, and Kratos. Kratos is encountered by the party in Sybak as well. There he is even more mysterious, indicating that in order for Colette to live she must remove the Key Crest that cured her Angel Toxicosis - a request with which Colette does not comply.
Throughout later events in the game, it becomes increasingly difficult for Lloyd and the others to understand his allegiance. Before the party severs the final mana link atop the Tower of Mana, Kratos appears and warns the party not to do so. However, after the Great Tree goes out of control and begins to tear the world apart, Kratos rejoins the party and aids them (against Mithos' orders) in destroying the tree.
Kratos appears before the group again as they attempt to enter Derris-Kharlan's city of angels, Welgaia, through the Tower of Salvation in order to gain a mana fragment to cure Colette's Chronic Angelus Crystallus Inofficium. It is here Kratos admits to them that he is one of Mithos' companions from 4000 years ago, confirming what the elven storyteller had told them. Kratos engages the party in battle, at the end of which angels are summoned and ordered by Kratos to capture the party. The party also questions his motives, realizing that Kratos could have just led them all around Tethe'alla in order to get them to gather the supplies needed to save Colette.
The next time Kratos encounters the party is when Yuan offers to let him meet Lloyd. At Altessa's House, Lloyd learns that Kratos is his father and immediately goes into denial. Yuan then threatens to kill Lloyd unless Kratos releases Origin's seal. Kratos seems impassive, but when Lloyd's attempt to attack Yuan fails, Kratos dashes in front of him to block what could have been a fatal blast from Yuan. Kratos falls unconscious, and Lloyd tries to get a grip on the situation. This is interrupted by a party member (with the highest affection). Mithos makes an appearance directly afterward, revealing himself to be the leader of Cruxis.
In Flanoir, Zelos is seen talking to himself about Aionis- presumably after talking with Kratos. Kratos may appear once again, right after the Flanoir Doctor is escorted to Altessa's home. This is most likely if Lloyd refuses to go outside with anyone else. He will reveal to Lloyd all the events that transpired in Anna's death (the well-known Flanoir scene). Zelos later is seen speaking with Kratos after the doctor arrives at Altessa's house, and makes his decision to either betray the party while helping Kratos get Aionis, or to betray the party in order to die.
Kratos next appears after the initial defeat of Yggdrasill in the Great Seed Chamber. He tells Lloyd that the only true way to reunite the two worlds is for him to wield the Eternal Sword. Kratos then proceeds to Heimdall's Torent Forest and waits for Lloyd at Origin's seal. After dueling Lloyd, Kratos is badly injured, but not killed, instead gaining Lloyd's forgiveness. Kratos then releases the remaining mana in his body and opens the seal to Origin, but Yuan appears and supplies Kratos with some of his own mana, saving him.
Kratos gives Lloyd his Flamberge to use in conjunction with the Vorpal Sword given to him by Dirk. Combined, these make the Material Blade. Depending on the decision in Flanoir, Kratos may or may not join you in the final fight against Mithos. If he does not, he will cite lingering weakness from the fight with Lloyd in Torent Forest.
After the defeat of Mithos at the hand of Lloyd and the others, Kratos is one of the last angels remaining in the world. He agrees with Lloyd's idea that Exspheres should no longer be able to be used by people, due to the senseless waste of human life involved. For this reason, he decides to remain on Derris-Kharlan and scatter Cruxis's supply of Exspheres into space. He uses the remains of the Tower of Salvation to return to Derris-Kharlan, which now drifts into the depths of outer space.
Depending on the actions of the player, it is possible to have Kratos rejoin the party later in the game. In order for this scene to occur, the player must choose against going outside with one the first three characters in the Flanoir scene (if Lloyd has the best relationship with Kratos, he will appear first). Afterwards, Lloyd hears a voice call his name. If the player proceeds outside, a cinema scene will play involving him and Kratos. Kratos gives Lloyd a locket and then leaves.
If this scene has been viewed, then the subsequent events will be extremely different. In the Tower of Salvation, the party will not fight the Gatekeeper, but Zelos instead. They will be forced to kill him.
When Lloyd descends to the bottom of the tower, Kratos' locket will save him from the arrow fired at his chest and the knife in the wall will be different. Most notably, Kratos will save the characters in the party from the various traps. When you confront Yggdrasill, Kratos will tell him that he no longer believes in his vision.
Kratos will not join the party and become a playable character again until after Lloyd fights him in Torent Forest. Once he does, Kratos will rejoin the party with the title "Judgment", which enables his Cruxis costume. In the PlayStation 2 version, wearing his "Judgment" costume allows him to use his ultimate technique, "Shining Bind". Kratos also learns the technique "Judgment" upon his rejoining. If Kratos does not rejoin the party, he will remain at Dirk's House, staying there to rest and allow his injuries from the battle with Lloyd to recover.
