The universe ofGod of Warhas been intricately woven over the course of many years. There are multiple stories that one can track back from the latest addition,God of War: Ragnarok, where Kratos is seen as a wiser version of himself.
Among the many story arcs, there is one fromGod of War: Ghost of Spartathat seems a little unnecessary at this point. There is one character from that game who should not have died, as he would have made a great recurring character, adding more depth to the story.
God of War Should Not Have Let Go of Kratos’ Brother
God of War: Ghost of Spartareveals one of the most important aspects of Kratos. The game dives deep into his backstory and tells us all about what transpired for him to become this rogue and arrogant version of himself.
The game is centered around Kratos’ journey to the underworld, where he finds his long-lost brother Deimos, who was abducted by Aries years ago. He sets out on a mission to kill the god of the underworld and bring his brother back from the land of shadows.

However, during the last fight between the brothers and Thanatos, Deimos gets killed, which fuels Kratos’ anger and turns him into a killing machine. Some fans still wanted to see Deimos alive and the brothers reunited since many things could have been done with this aspect of the story.
Killing Deimos was a convenient way of giving Kratos depth since it aligns perfectly withGod of War’sstoryline. Everyone around Kratos seems to be dead at this point, including his daughter and wife.
We Could Have Seen More of Deimos
Deimos would have made an excellent recurring character who could appear time and again in various phases of Kratos’ life. There was a scope for building many storylines surrounding him, and he could even have had an amazing relationship with Atreus. He could haveassisted Kratos in defeating the godsas well.

It would have been cool to see the brothers reunited and fight together once again. Having said that, it is also true that integrating him into the storyline would have made things a tad bit messier.
It was important for Kratos to lose everyone to become a god, and to let go of all the worldly attachments he was chained to within the mortal world. It was necessary for him to become a god and then go on a killing spree, avenging the deaths of his loved ones. What do you think about it? Let us know in the comments below.
