The Last Spartan

The Last Spartan's History

God of War: Ghost of Sparta

Kratos' quest to find Deimos led him to the Temple of Ares in Sparta. There, this Spartan ordered his fellow soldiers to pull Ares' statue down since Kratos had become the new god of War. The young Spartan glorified him and quickly left to retrieve something to him. After leaving the temple, Kratos again encountered the Spartan, who was waiting for him with the Arms of Sparta, Kratos' former weapons, which he looked after as if his own. After being thanked by Kratos, the Spartan took his leave and ordered him to return and protect Sparta.

God of War II

During Zeus' betrayal against Kratos, the entire Spartan army invading Rhodes was wiped out by the Blade of Olympus. This warrior was the only one who survived, despite being the closest to Zeus during the attack. When Kratos returned from the Underworld, he was greeted by the weakened Last Spartan, who was told to return to Sparta and protect it.

Upon traversing the Island of Creation, Kratos eventually came upon an area within the Palace of the Fates where a shadowed warrior claimed he had come too far to fail. A battle ensued between both men, neither knowing who they were fighting. Kratos was victorious, impaling the shadowed warrior and smashing him through a window. Both of them fell out of the room, and Kratos soon discovered with horror that it was The Last Spartan he had ordered to return home and defend the city.

Kratos angrily asked him why he had left Sparta unprotected. The dying warrior revealed to Kratos that Sparta was no more – Zeus had destroyed it in his absence. Only he had survived the attack, thanks to him falling unconscious and being shielded from further harm by a pile of rubble that had fallen over him. When he awoke, he found that every other citizen had perished, making him The Last Spartan. The dying warrior revealed his intention to receive an audience with the Sisters of Fate and request that they change the outcome of the fallen city. With his last breath, The Last Spartan told Kratos he had faith that their fallen comrades would live on through the true god of War.

Infuriated, Kratos yelled to the sky, demanding Zeus descend from Olympus and face him. At this time, the immense Kraken appeared and attacked Kratos, clutching him with its tentacles. Having lost his will to fight, Kratos had resolved to let himself perish. However Gaia appeared to Kratos in a vision in the form of Lysandra, urging him not to lose hope and granting him the ability to further unleash Rage of the Titans.

The corpse of the Last Spartan was useful in the battle with the Kraken, since Kratos placed it on a pressure plate, which activated an air vent, and allowed Kratos to fly using The Icarus Wings, and attack The Kraken's face. Towards the end of the battle, The Kraken realizes how Kratos is making use of the corpse, and devours it.

At the end of God of War II, Kratos went back in time and reclaimed the Blade of Olympus, changing both the fates of his Spartan warriors and The Titans. Thanks to Kratos changing the course of events that led to the destruction of Sparta, the fight between Kratos and The Last Spartan never took place, allowing the latter to survive. Though Greece would later be flooded when Kratos killed Poseidon during the events of God of War III, The Last Spartan's ultimate fate is never revealed but he probably died in the flood along with the rest of Greece.
