The Titans (According to the God of War Universe)

• Atlas: (The son of the Titan Lapetus and the Titaness Asia, and the brother of Prometheus. In the events of God of War, Atlas was one of the Titans, fighting the Olympian Gods in the first Titanomachy, until he was imprisoned, along with the other Titans, in the realm of Tartartus. Later, the goddess Persephone frees him from his imprisoment, so that she would brought chaos in the mortal world, by sending Atlas to destroy the Pillar of the World. Persephone's plan was foiled by Kratos and Atlas, after he destroyed the Pillar of the World, was left in his fate, by carrying the World above his shoulders, for all eternity.)
• Chronos: (One of the sons, brought by Gaia. Chronos's role, in the God of War series, is similiar to the original myth. At first he brought children with his wife Rhea, through he swallows them, in his fear that one son may usurp him in the future. However, Zeus, his only child, who wasn't swallowed, frees his brothers from Chronos and starts the war between the Gods and the Titans, known as the First Titanomachy. In the plotline of God of War, the Titans got defeated, and Zeus sends his father as a punishment to the Desert of the Lost Souls, wandering with the Pandora's temple, chained to his back. Later, Zeus's growing fear sends him to the Pit of Tartartus, after Kratos opened the Pandora's Box to kill Ares. There, Chronos met Kratos, who blames him for opening the Pandora's Box and killing him mother, Gaia. Although the Titan wanted vengeance and retribution upon Kratos, the formely-god easily kills him, with the Blade of the Gods, thus endng his life.)
• Hyperion: (One of the Titans, brought by Gaia and one of the brothers of the mighty Titan, Chronos, who help him in quest to usurp his father, Ouranos.

In the the storyline of God of War, Kratos encountered him in the realm of Tartarus, before making his way to the Elysium Fiends. The Titan was rumored to be seen participated in the Second Titanomachy, along with Kratos and Gaia.
