History[]
Being one of the Primordial, Gaia was a descendant of Calligo and Chaos. Together she and the other Primordials created the universe. Wishing to survey their work, they made the Island of Creation, where all life would begin. The first to be born was Gaia, who would become the mother of the earth. Ouranos, the Primordial god of the sky and lord of the heavens, joined with Gaia and giving birth to the Tartarus, Pontus, Elder Cyclopes, the Hecatonchires, and the Titans.
It was prophesied that one day Cronus would also be overthrown by his children, just as he overthrew his own father. In an attempt to avoid this, he swallowed them whole after they were born. However, Cronus' wife, Rhea, could not bear another loss and tricked Cronus into swallowing an Omphalos Stone wrapped in cloth. This baby was named Zeus and would be raised within Gaia's own body until he came of age and decided to take revenge upon Cronus.
When Zeus became an adult, he freed his brothers and sisters from the belly of Cronus and began a revolt against the Titans, starting the Great War. During this war, Gaia aided the Titans in the battle and was eventually cast into Tartarus along with her children.
Following these events, Gaia kept watch over the life of the Spartan Warrior and her great-grandson Kratos, hoping to use his talents in her desire for her future vengeance against Zeus.
Personality[]
Gaia was once a caring and loving Titan, helping anyone no matter the cost. She even cared for and nurtured Zeus, when the young god was hiding from his father Cronus. However, after the Great War, when all Titans were punished for the crimes of one, Gaia's heart became filled with hatred for Zeus and the Olympians. She became so obsessed with vengeance that she started to rebel against the Sisters of Fate themselves, manipulating Kratos as a pawn and then, discarding him and anyone else who dared to cross her path, only seeking to exact her revenge against the Gods of Olympus.
