Atreus and Loki have always been one in the same character in God of War, but the name has far less significance to both Kratos and Atreus than it does to the audience. Loki, as it was revealed, was the name that Kratos' wife, Faye, wanted to give Atreus when he was born.
As Atreus and Kratos reach Jötunheim to spread Faye's ashes on the Giant Finger's mountain, they learn that she was a Jötunn. As Atreus wonders about his heritage, he also learns that his mother gave him the birth name Loki.
In Jötunheim, Atreus and Kratos learn that Atreus was a Frost Giant from his mother's side, and referred to as "Loki." In the MCU, Loki is Thor's adoptive brother.
Pelops then entered Pisa, became its king and named the land "Peloponnesus", meaning "island of Pelops". He fathered several sons, including Thyestes, the father of Aegisthus, and Atreus, the father of Menelaus and Agamemnon.
Kratos to Atreus on his godhood. Divine-Jötnar Physiology: Atreus is the son of Kratos, a Greek divine being and the former God of War, and son to Zeus, and Laufey, a powerful Jötnar Giant. As a result of this, Atreus has a tremendous physiology, making him a hybrid of the Greek and Norse pantheon.
Atreus was revealed to be Loki when he discovered his true identity in the game's final act. The Jötnar, the giants of Norse mythology, revealed that Atreus was named Loki at birth.
Loki and Thor grow up as brothers before eventually being torn apart by Loki's plots to seize the throne for himself. The God of War Loki's lineage is quite different, with Laufey as his birth mother and the Greek demigod, Kratos, as his birth father.
Faye was a giant, which makes Atreus half giant and half god. A prophecy reveals that Kratos is not long for this world and that Atreus, known as Loki among the giants, will somehow be involved in his death.
Atreus (Menelaus and Agamemnon's father) and Thyestes are brothers. Thyestes sleeps with his brother, Atreus', wife, Aerope. (She is the grand-daughter of King Minos, of Crete.)
It was a manifestation of a conflict of his mind between thinking he was a mortal and actually being a god. The sickness usually manifested when he was feeling rage, but thinking his body was mortal didn't make it suitable to hold that god tier rage.
For the majority of the game, Kratos is haunted by his past. He's afraid to tell his son what he did to his own family before coming to the Norse universe, and as such, this also prevents him from telling Atreus that he's really Loki - and a half-god.
See unlike Kratos who was born as a Demi-God and evolved into a God of War later on, Atreus was born to his father, now a God, and his Mother who was a Pure Giant.
Loki, as it was revealed, was the name that Kratos' wife, Faye, wanted to give Atreus when he was born. The former Greek God of War insisted that Atreus be named after another Spartan that Kratos fought alongside long before arriving in Midgard.
At the same time, Sophos says that Thor is a clone of Kratos. Thor believes himself to be an irredeemable person as he's done horrible things like killing a bunch of Giants. Similarly, Kratos started his new family after killing all of the Greek gods in the franchise's previous games.
The real-life explanation for why Kratos called Atreus "Boy" in God of War was that the developers at Sony Santa Monica weren't able to agree on Atreus' real name until relatively late in God of War (2018)'s production, but “Boy” soon became a popular meme for the game's fans and made Kratos all the more endearing in ...
However, Kratos returns to life and reclaims his god-powers and status as the God of War before exacting revenge against Zeus, his father, and the Olympians, leaving Kratos as the only surviving Greek God of War (despite trying to commit suicide by impaling himself with the Blade of Olympus to give away the power of ...
While he wouldn't know it for most of his life, Kratos was a demigod as he is the son of Zeus, but he would later become a full-on god, the God of War to be precise, after killing Ares. After years of serving the Greek gods, Kratos became disillusioned, and resentment towards the gods grew strong.
Loki is a god in Norse mythology. Loki is the son of Fárbauti (a jötunn) and Laufey (mentioned as a goddess), and the brother of Helblindi and Býleistr.
In the God Of War official novel, it is confirmed that Atreus is 11 years old in the game. Fimbulwinter lasts three years, so by the time Ragnarök takes place, which is when the game will be set, Atreus will be 14 years old.
Here, holding on to all of the timelines, he became a kind of tree god, physically representing the Norse tree of life, Yggdrasil. It was a poignant and painful ending for Loki, who now seems to be sentenced to being alone for eternity as he watches over the timelines.
Yes. Loki goes back to the loom, transforming into the god we all know and (sometimes) love, and destroys it as his friends look on, telling them he knows what type of god he needs to be. He finds himself entangled among the branches, physically gathering them and pulling them with him as he becomes the god of time.
