[edit] Greek Mythology
In Greek mythology, Helios was the god of the sun. He steers the Sun Chariot across the sky everyday, bringing daylight to the world. In his honor, the Colossus of Rhodes was built, and is an exact image of him.
[edit] In the God of War Series
In God of War: Chains of Olympus, Helios was kidnapped by Atlas for the purpose of Persephone, who felt betrayed by the Gods for being forced to stay with Hades six months out of a year. He was then saved by Kratos, after the Spartan defeated Persephone and chained Atlas.
There are two statues of Helios in God of War II. The first is the great Colossus of Rhodes, which Kratos fights and destroys. Second, in the Garden of the Gods in the Palace of the Fates, there's a statue of Helios along with statues of five other Gods - Ares, Athena, Zeus, Poseidon and Hades. Helios appears briefly at the end of the game, at the council of the gods on Olympus along with Hermes, Hades, Poseidon and Zeus.
In God of War III, Helios will be one of gods that Kratos will kill. Helios will be confronted by Kratos and titans and then defeated. Kratos will brutally rip his head off and use it as a weapon (just like gorgon's) it is called Helios Beam.
[edit] Powers and Abilities
As the sun god Helios has the power of Fireballs and can control and create fire, he also has Conjuring, Immortality, and Invincibility; however despite his powers he will be weakened in God of War III and killed.
