Evil? It is not evil that I bring, Spartan. I bring the might of the Persia and the Sacrament of Purification.
~ The Persian King
Please ... Please, spare my life and I will give you all that you ask!
~ Persian King to Kratos upon his defeat.

The nameless Persian King is the major antagonist in the 2008 video game God of War: Chains of Olympus. He is the merciless ruler of the invading Persian Empire, who invades Greece to take over. He would encounter the Gods' champion Kratos, who proceeded to kill him and take his power.

He was voiced by Fred Tatasciore, who also voiced Atlas in the same game, Poseidon in God of War (2005), Zeus in God of War: Ghost of Sparta, Saren Arterius in Mass Effect, Warden Kuril in Mass Effect 2, CLU in TRON: Uprising and TRON: Evolution, Nikolai Belinski in the Call of Duty zombie series, Tony Alpert in Battlefield: Hardline, and Helm Hammerhand in Middle-earth: Shadow of War.

Biography[]

Background[]

The Persian King sought to purge Greece of its gods with the use of his great armies and the Basilisk, putting him at odds with the gods of Olympus, who sent Kratos to deal with him.

Confronting Kratos[]

The Persian King engaged Kratos in battle after mocking him and the Olympian gods. During the Boss Battle, the Persian King has three or four other Persians fighting Kratos. He uses his sword to deal some damage to Kratos and even sets it on fire. He'll even summon a powerful demon-like creature known as the Efreet. However, when Kratos defeated him the Persian King quickly showed himself to be a coward at heart, as he begged Kratos repeatedly to spare him - even offering Kratos anything in return for his life.

But Kratos refused the King's offer and proceeded to kill the Persian King via crushing his skull with his own treasure chest. After which, Kratos acquired the powers of the Efreet.

Powers and Abilities[]

The Persian King has great physical strength due to his size. During his battle with Kratos, the king wields a massive sword, which he can set on fire to enhance its damage, and defends himself with a large shield, Peltarion. The King also has the power to summon the Efreet, which is a giant flaming demon that smashes the ground and creates a circle of fire around itself, but after his death, the power was then taken by Kratos.

Quotes[]

Then, you are just a messenger. So take this message back to your little gods: It will take more than a pathetic Spartan to stop the power of the Empire!
~ The Persian King to Kratos.
Take my kingdom, my women, my gold.
~ The Persian King's last words.
