Kratos is displayed as a cold and heartless mercenary in the game, though is also an expert in swordsmanship, a fact that makes Lloyd angry. The only thing he has in mind at the beginning of the game is to protect Colette, as that is what he is assigned to do. However, as the journey processes, Kratos begins to open up a little, giving out hints about a past where he did a terrible mistake.

Throughout the early stages of the game, Kratos displays outstanding knowledge of the ancient world, raising Refill's suspicions as to his true intentions. ~!Despite his malevolent secret agenda, Kratos takes a keen interest in Lloyd's development as a warrior, although he takes a fairly callous approach to this. Through a side-quest, Kratos will train him in swordsmanship and give him advices that help the younger boy to grow. Despite his long life and many years of experience, Kratos is, up until the end of the game, a fatalist, for a long time not realizing that Mithos’ way is not the only possible way to save the worlds. It is Lloyd's actions that make him realize how much choice and control of his destiny he really has.!~

Two worlds exist, both unaware of the existance of the other. In order for one world to flourish, the other will have to perish. On the perishing world, a Chosen one is sent on a journey to restore that world's mana by awakening the Spirits and becoming an angel. Colette Brunel, the Chosen of Sylvarant, sets out on her journey accompanied by her best friends Lloyd Irving and Genis Sage. As they travel further they meet more friends and even more enemies, while they learn more and more about the truth behind the World Regeneration.
