History
Events during “Fall of the Cities”
Kratos is first seen leaping at a Shadow Wolf who threatens his granddaughter, killing him in front of Ruuza. Kratos has no time to reassure her, as he grabs her and attempts to get away from the battlefield. He is attacked by a Shadow Wolf, where he is forced to kill another wolf in front of Ruuza in order to protect her. He makes his way through the battlefield, seeing the fallen bodies of his packmates. He eventually makes it to his daughter Luna and her mate Locin, |
returning Ruuza to her parents. He urges them to get out and leave things there to him, and after hesitation and arguing from Luna about her son, he manages to convince them to take Ruuza and leave while he is left behind to handle the situation. Kratos is again seen at the confrontation with Reika together with his other wolves. However, upon the reveal that Reika is a blessed wolf, Kratos is taken aback by the horrific events. He is directly charged with a wing attack by Reika, but at the last moment was pushed to the side by one of his packmates. He is seen laying on the floor, unmoving, and status unknown.

Personality
Kratos was an extremely stubborn orphan, often refusing to follow orders, and had a habit of getting himself and his friends into trouble. It seemed as though he misbehaved and irritated those around him on a daily basis. Despite his more troublesome youth, he was guided by one of his superiors, and his behavior and view on life underwent a dramatic change. As an adult, he became treasured by most of the pack. While he could certainly have a bit of a sassy attitude, he was also a bit of a joker who loved to fool around, or act a little dumb if it meant making others laugh. However, he was capable of being serious when it was needed. Even as he aged, he loved to play around with his grandchildren.
Appearance
Kratos is an aging adult, and has distinct features that hint toward his age, such as his scruffy fur. As a Cosmic wolf, he features all the traits of his kind such as a slightly longer tail, and strands of long fur on the chest. He has a color mutation in his pelt, and his symbols are color mutated as well. He has two light blue crescents and a small dot on his rump, and a slightly crescent-shaped symbol on his left front shoulder. From above, his small blue mane is shaped slightly like a diamond. On his eyes, half-crescents are visible. His marking on the back of his neck is extended slightly down his back, and he wears two golden bracelets on his front legs. When using his camouflage ability, his symbolism remains a bright coloration, and his pelt is lighter in comparison to his normal pelt colors.
Abilities
Very little of Kratos' full powers is known. During the events in Episode 1, he was mostly seen using physical attacks. Kratos is extremely skilled when it comes to close combat, he knows where to aim and how to move to get the upper hand on his opponents. When striking, he usually aims for the throat or the stomach. Kratos was seen using one ability when he was taking out a Shadow wolf. It is seen when his light blue symbols glows, and upon touch it cuts through flesh. More is not known of this ability. He was also seen in a later scene without his "camouflage" ability, as his pelt became duller color wise when he brought Ruuza back to her parents.
