--> '''Hercules''': While I was stuck cleaning the Augean Stables, he chose you to destroy Ares. (''Kratos [[FascinatingEyebrow raises an eyebrow]]'') Not convinced? How about this: while you were being crowned the God of War, I was sent to find an ''apple''. (''Hera laughs'') They called them "Labors". Hah! Perhaps he ''did'' allow me to kill the Nemean Lion, but he made ''your'' name known amongst the people. A fierce warrior. A killer made hero. A man made a god.

to:
* AmbitionIsEvilAmbitionIsEvil: Hercules aspires to be an Olympian, specifically the God of War because he believes he could do it better than Kratos and that Kratos was only given the title because he was favored by Zeus. In the ''Valhalla'' DLC, Kratos explained that Hercules wanted the title for "every reason but the right one" and driven more by anger and jealousy than ambition.

* FatalFlaw: Like in the myths, Hercules's flaw is his wrath and it is best shown in the boss fight. Hercules always loses his temper when Kratos appears to get the upper hand; he angrily jumps into battle when his soldiers are losing, he kills all his men because Kratos ripped off his armor, and he gloats to Hera after angrily stunning Kratos so he can reassert dominance. The opening cutscene shows this as well, he riles himself up into fighting Kratos after listing his grievances and voicing his inadequacies.

* AffablyEvil: Hercules, despite his resentful attitude, greets Kratos cordially when they meet, and is implied to see his half-brother as a WorthyOpponent.
* DragonInChief: Hercules fights on behalf of Hera, proving to be a much more serious obstacle for Kratos than his drunken stepmother, whom the Spartan totally disregards as a threat. [[spoiler:Once Hercules is dead, all Hera can do is spew ignored insults at Kratos until she makes the fatal mistake of insulting Pandora.]]
* FacialHorror: [[spoiler:As Kratos beats him to death, Hercules' face is so badly damaged that he barely looks human anymore, and by the time Kratos is done with him, Hercules' skull has caved in and his face is ''gone''.]]
* RememberTheNewGuy: Kratos and Hercules address each other familiarly, even acknowledging their fraternal relationship, but they were never seen interacting before the third game.
* AdaptationalJerkass In the game, Perseus is driven to undo Andromeda's fate out of seemingly genuine love; the novelization has him want her back mostly for sex.
* AntiVillain: When Kratos encounters him, Perseus isn't working for Zeus or the Sisters of Fate; he's just trying to get back the woman he loves, and failing to do so has made him so desperate that he's willing to attack Kratos in a mad attempt to prove himself to the Sisters.
* SanitySlippage: Perseus' fruitless efforts to reach the Sisters of Fate have clearly had a negative effect on his sanity; when Kratos arrives, Perseus quickly convinces himself that he's supposed to kill Kratos to prove his value to the Fates based on no actual evidence and no interaction with the Sisters themselves.

Added DiffLines:
* HeroOfAnotherStory: A deconstructed trope; Hercules had his own quests from the gods to fulfil in order to seek atonement from his sins around the same time as Kratos, yet the magnitude of Kratos' final one, the death of Ares, saw him elevated to godhood, which is something Heracles by comparison didn't receive. This caused a great deal of envy to take root in Hercules, enough to try and kill his half-brother to receive a similar reward from Zeus.
