I can't really answer the question about his ethnicity but the "white" your speaking of is because the oracle in the village his family lived in put a curse on Kratos after he was tricked into killing his family by Ares, forcing him to wear his family's ashes on his skin, which is he how got the nickname "Ghost of Sparta" I'm not sure if you have ever played the very first GoW but this is explained in the first game.You're going to need a bigger gun!-Anton Girdeux, Syphon FilterWooTz_sama 13 years ago#3Watch the bonus video "Voice Acting" after you beat the game.El_Kais0n 13 years ago#4Nah, he's teal.Minotaur stole my trident...MrAssassin83 13 years ago#5Kratos is a Spartan Warrior.

Concept art of Kratos showing dark tan vs cursed white skin tonesEmerging from the temple ruins, the newly christened ‘Ghost of Sparta‘ had a bizarre complexion that struck fear into both enemies and allies. He became deathly pale overnight, his Mediterranean tan replaced with the constant flaking presence of his murdered loved ones.This shocking transformation fueled his burning hatred of Ares.
