Overview:

He is extremely violent
Seems to dislike Gods

Origin of Kratos:
God of War creator and designer David Jaffe created Kratos to look brutal but not a traditional Greek warrior. He doesn't wear traditional Spartan armour so that he can stand out and be individual. He was originally going to either have a fully-masked face, have 'unconventional elements' (such as carrying an infant on his back) or excessive hair and other details. An ash-white complexion, a scar and a red tattoo are all the most noticeable of his features and they are all explained in the story.
Evolution of Kratos:
Kratos, over the course the series, has gained many different items/clothing to use. These include: the Golden Fleece and the Boots of Hermes. Kratos's appearance can also be altered via the use of costumes which can be unlocked via a variety of ways, including completing the game in certain levels of difficulty or purchasing them in the PlayStation Store. Kratos's personality also slowly develops over the course of the series but saying what happens would surely spoil something. And Kratos doesn't like spoilers does he?
