Cratos and his siblings—Nike , Bia, and Zelus—are the winged enforcers of Zeus.

Cratos is the peacemaker of the four siblings. Second eldest after Zelus, he is friendlier than his grim brother and interacts with mortals more than any other olympian other than perhaps Asclepius.

However, he holds a less dogmatic stance on his ethics than the healing focused God, adopting approaches that are lawful, chaotic and anywhere in between, as befits the situation. It is Cratos’s servants who treat with the diplomats of all other immortal beings, from devils to devas, on behalf of the angelic choirs and the universal forces of Good. During the early days of the Cosmos, however, Cratos was not the peaceful diplomat he is today. Instead, he was the styktide of Death, bringing holy justice to the wicked. Those who would underestimate him as weak would do well to remember the awesome power possessed by this warrior.
