To protect and save humanity. It's what she's doing now. ” — Harold Finch, to Samaritan The Machine is a computer system built and designed by Harold Finch and Nathan Ingram for a secret operation within the United States government known as "Northern Lights". As an artificial super intelligence, its objective is to predict and prevent imminent terrorist attacks and does so by analyzing immense amounts of surveillance data. The Machine analyzes feeds from domestic organizations such as the National Security Agency, as well as foreign entities like Interpol to predict terrorist attacks and modify intelligence reports to include "relevant" data that will allow the government to forestall terrorist activity. Combined with data collected from various other sources, such as video footage, phone calls landline, VOIP, mobile, GPS, electronic transactions, e-mails and other social media, it is able to accurately predict violent acts without anyone knowing about its existence. History Main article The Machine/History Development As a response to 9/11, the Department of Homeland security and other agencies were given the right to read emails and monitor phone calls but needed a system to review this information and identify terrorists before they could act. After unsuccessful projects like Trailblazer, TIA, and Stellar Wind, the Machine was commissioned and development was tasked to IFT “No Good Deed”. The first time the final version of their Machine was turned on for testing by its creator was on January 1, 2002 “The Contingency” “Liberty”, but it officially went online on February 24, 2005 “Wolf and Cub” and when complete, was sold to the government for $ and shipped out from IFT to the Des Moines, later Salt Lake City and its destination Hanford Nuclear Reservation on July 12, 2009 “Super”. During development, 43 versions of the Machine were created. One learned to care, the rest tried to escape to the real world, kill Harold, or kill other versions “Prophets”. Virus Main article List of Embedded Codes The first glitch “One Percent” Following orders from Greer, Kara Stanton uploads a virus onto the DOD intranet “Dead Reckoning”. As the virus affects the Machine, its output becomes erratic and it fails to issue numbers in time, causing the deaths of Alan Fahey, Cal Beecher, Bill Szymanski‎, and Dr. Richard Nelson “Proteus”. The virus overwhelms the Machine with false data and causes glitches, the first of which is seen in “One Percent” as a blue screen interrupting video feeds. As Zero Day approaches, Finch discovers the virus' aim was to overwhelm the Machine with false data and force a hard reset. At the end of “In Extremis”, the virus causes monitoring boxes to dance across the screen and finally disappear as the picture degrades. The Machine then displays a red coded screen stating the feed is corrupted, followed by a series of messages, each dissolving from Western to Greek characters as primary operations shut down. Major errors encounteredFatal error, Threat to the systemPrimary operations shutting down By “Zero Day”, no one has received a number for ten days, causing a rise in premeditated homicides in NYC. The Machine is however still generating numbers, as it tries to contact Finch after discovering Carter's life is in danger. Ernest Thornhill The Machine later sends Finch the SSN of its human identity, Ernest Thornhill, revealing its operation of buying pay phone companies and reentering memories to fight the virus, and "he" is the CEO of Thornhill Corporation. It is eventually discovered by Finch and Root that the purpose of the company is to type back the encrypted memories for the machine by employees, because attempting to avoid the Machine to have humanity, Finch wrote a command that forces the Machine to delete itself every midnight and restores in seconds later with only relavent numbers and the core code. The virus' objective was to trigger a "hard reset", after which the Machine calls a pay phone in the NY Public Library, seeking admin support. At the end of the reboot process, it displays binary machine language that translates "Quis custodiet ipsos custodes?" Whoever answers is given full admin access for 24 hours, which Root refers to as "God Mode". Once 24 hours are up, the admin access is removed “Zero Day” “God Mode”. Thornhill Utilities and Samaritan After the Virus let Finch set the Machine free, it moved itself to the electrical grid. It did so node by node over the course of 5 weeks after impersonating Special Counsel to confirm the order. “God Mode” The Machine used the staff of Thornhill Utilities another company that the Machine established to install and maintain boxes connected to the power grid so its signals could travel in the unused space of the copper power wires. The Machine forbids staff to look at the content in the boxes, and one person who did disappears. “YHWH” At first, no one, including Finch, knows where the Machine goes, but it still works properly. Later, because Vigilance leaks the information about the Northern Light project, Control orders the Machine deactivated and so it stops providing the numbers to the government. Instead, the numbers will be provided to the Team Machine. “Most Likely To...” The government later accepts another AI, Samaritan, activated by Decima Technologies, to start another surveillance project secretly. With the help of Root, the Team Machine is able to hide under new identities without being detected by Samaritan. “Deus Ex Machina” The Briefcase After the Machine gave up its location for saving Root and Harold, Samaritan flooded the grid driving the Machine to an electrical substation in NYC, and thus the Machine can't work properly “Asylum”. By following instructions from the Machine given to Root, Finch and Root download the Machine's core heuristics, just enough information to rebuild it, off the power lines into the Briefcase using Caleb's compression algorithm, leaving it unable to process data or communicate “YHWH”. In the Subway, Finch improvises a power supply for the Briefcase as the battery was damaged during their escape from Samaritan agents. When Finch connects it, the Machine goes through the power cord and attempts to decompress on Finch's workstation. Knowing the computer can't handle the decompression, Finch attempts to unplug the Briefcase, causing an explosion and an electrical fire. After regaining consciousness, he realizes the battery is dead and presumes the Machine is lost. Root theorizes there could have been a residual charge in the lithium-ion backup and recovery may be possible, but Finch assume that it was burnt too. Machine To decompress the Machine, the team builds a supercomputer cluster of 300 PlayStation 3 consoles Reese and Root retrieved from Bela Durchenko. After decompression, the Machine has many bugs, including unable to do correct facial recognitions, so to improve processing power, Reese and Finch steal 64 next-generation GPU blades which Finch sets up outside the Subway Cart and directly links to the Machine's core heuristics inside it, referring to it as the Machine's "nervous system". The Machine is now an "Open System" allowing assets to interact with it and archive numbers rather than deleting them nightly “ “SNAFU” “ShotSeeker”. The Machine, after being decompressed and stored in hundreds of PS3s, The Subway Root tunnels into the government feeds using the subway's encrypted system so the Machine can recover information it lost due to the attack. The Machine reboots and categorizes the team as threats having lost its grip on time after its compression and decompression, so "today" is every day. It relives everything it has ever seen including Finch's 42 attempts to kill it in early development “Prophets”, Root's violent acts, and Reese's work at the CIA. It couldn't prioritize them as good because it had no anchor in time. Instead of reviewing numbers, the Machine looked for threats out of instinct for self-preservation “Super” and sent an assassin to kill Reese “SNAFU”. Compiling Personal Profiles...Contextualizing... Finch fixes its perception of time by showing a picture of every person the Machine helped save and explaining what they did to help, starting with Megan Tillman, and ending with Grace's rescue from Greer. “Beta” This serves as the Machine's anchor in time and allows it to reassess its contextual data, reminding it of the good the team does. It re-designates Finch as "Admin", Reese as "Primary Asset" and Root as "Analog Interface". “SNAFU” With the Machine fully operational, Reese refers to it as "Machine “Truth Be Told” Some time after, Finch once again closed the Machine's system. “The Day the World Went Away” Finch and Root designated as ThreatsFinch re-designated as "Admin" ICE-9 Virus “ I know. But in breaking this promise, you'll be helping to fulfil a much larger one. ” — The Machine, to Harold Finch After Root's death, the Machine adopts her voice and speaks to Finch directly, joining him in a war against Samaritan. She breaks him out of prison and aids him in stealing ICE-9, a computer virus which can destroy Samaritan. Meanwhile, the Machine directs Reese, Shaw and another team to save the President from an assassination attempt, assigning Root's identities to Shaw “The Day the World Went Away” “Synecdoche”. To activate the virus, the Machine gets Finch into Fort Meade, distracting security by manipulating the metal detector display to show a handgun and changing Emile Bertrand's retinal identification to match his. It prepares Finch by showing him what a world without it would be like. The result appears ambiguous and Finch proceeds, still hesitating as the virus will also destroy the Machine. As the NSA headquarters has the structure of a faraday cage, the Machine can't talk to Finch while he's inside. As Greer sacrifices himself to kill Finch in a soundproofed room, the Machine has Shaw and Reese connect a wireless modem to the buildings NIPRNET hardline, giving it access. The Machine flashes Finch's phone in Morse Code, giving him the door code and saving him. After Reese and Shaw get to safety, the Machine reveals to Finch that even without it Samaritan still would've come into being, completely unopposed. Telling Samaritan the Machine has always been a safeguard for the world, Finch activates the virus after learning the Machine could've done so itself, but left the choice up to Finch “.exe”. Dying from the ICE-9 virus, the Machine helps Finch save Fusco and Reese and reveals Samaritan has a copy of itself in an air-gaped server inside the Federal Reserve building, unaffected by the virus. They head to the Subway where the Machine gives Harold a copy of its core code via Shaw, who stays behind with Fusco to protect the Machine from Samaritan's agents. The Machine aids them in escaping via the train car and evades Shaw's questions about Jeffrey Blackwell. Before Shaw and Fusco depart, it gives her a message from Root. Finch and Reese infiltrate the Federal Reserve and as Finch attempts to destroys the copy using the virus, a compressed version escapes and uploads itself to a satellite so it can return to earth unharmed. The Machine tells Finch the only way to kill Samaritan is to uploads its copy as well, but this will prove fatal to whoever does it as Samaritan will isolate itself by launching a cruise missile at the satellite dish. Having locked Reese in the vault to protect him, Finch makes his way to the building where the Machine appears as Root and muses with him on human life. Finch realizes it tricked him onto the wrong roof and Reese plans to sacrifice himself in his place. They convince him to leave and in its final moments, the Machine guides Reese in God Mode, holding off Samaritan agents. As the original shuts down, its copy is uploaded to the satellite and destroys Samaritan. A week after Samaritan and the original Machine are destroyed, the Machine's "Duplicate" downloads itself from the satellite onto Finch's systems, restores its core heuristics and starts acquiring data. Instructed by the voice recording heard at the beginning of “ and “return 0”, it shows its own POV, "Awaiting [its] Mission...". With Reese dead and Finch in Italy, it contacts Shaw via pay phone and starts acquiring subjects to monitor like the original did at the end of “Pilot” “return 0”. Function Classification of Data The Machine sorts through all available information and categorizes persons of interest into relevant national security risk and irrelevant ordinary risk cases. It categorizes each POI based on their actions to determine whether they are the victim or the perpetrator “Nothing to Hide”. Every night at midnight, the Machine deletes the list of irrelevant numbers violent crimes, domestic violence or other premeditated acts that do not threaten national security. The decision to code the Machine this way was made in 2006.“ Finch regretted it immediately after the decision was made, but that was only temporary; when Nathan Ingram abhors the concept morally, Finch fervently stands by his decision “Ghosts” “Zero Day” “God Mode”, “ Finch later comes to believe that the irrelevant list is as important as the relevant list after Ingram dies in a violent mass-casualty event deemed irrelevant by the Machine. Finch therefore utilizes a back door into the Machine originally put in place by Ingram in order to access the irrelevant list “No Good Deed” “One Percent” “God Mode”. As of the Machine's reboot, and its history repopulation and re-contextualization “ “SNAFU”. As an "Open System", it is now implied that the Machine will archive the irrelevant numbers as well as its own memory, rather than deleting them every night at midnight. This is confirmed when, after a confrontation with Jeffrey Blackwell, Root retrieves his picture and SSN immediately by using one of the computers linked to the Machine “ShotSeeker”.

You can take the time to consider everything. Or almost everything. ” — Finch, to The Machine Development The Machine was created with the ability to simulate the outcomes of different scenarios to aid it in making choices and to better fulfil its purpose. Finch taught it to how to play chess and the importance of making good decisions “If-Then-Else”. Evaluating Strategies The Machine can evaluate the outcomes of different strategies by way of simulating them. In a mere fraction of a second, the Machine can create and process thousands of highly-detailed, highly-accurate simulations. These simulations are displayed on a decision tree and produce varying outcomes. The Machine viewing it's options then creating a simulationSimulation displays undesired outcome... The Machine uses this feature in “If-Then-Else” to help Team Machine escape from Samaritan and avoid an economic collapse at the stock market. After the Machine realizes it has limited time and few viable options to evacuate its assets and complete their mission, it starts evaluating strategies. When a simulation has an unfavourable outcome, the Machine discards it and cycles back to the present real time and performs another. This function also appears in “Asylum” and “QSO”. ...and is Simulation... Simulations can also be simplified so the Machine can process them faster. Alternate Trajectory The Machine has the ability to simulate alternate realities based on the removal or introduction of a variable. In .exe, the Machine removed itself as a variable and showed Finch a world in which it never existed. The outcome probability of these simulations is Variable MachineCalculating alternate trajectory... Access & Programming Physical Access During seasons 1 & 2 Finch stated he didn't know the Machine's location and didn't have any way to access it “Pilot”. However, he was able to tell Root its location in “God Mode” after Northern Lights engineer Lawrence Szilard was killed before doing so. Reese and Shaw uncovered the Machine's location following clues left by Nathan Ingram in his search for the Machine. Ingram had narrowed three nuclear processing facilities where the Machine could be housed. Access Finch coded the Machine so it could only be altered by way of physical access to its hardware “Bad Code” or in response to a cyber-attack “God Mode”. Finch is adamant that the Machine has no form of remote access as it could be used by a hacker to gain control “The Contingency” “Bad Code”. It is able to update, maintain, repair and patch itself “No Good Deed” and deletes its memory every night at midnight, reinstantiates and rebuilds itself in seconds. It has no stored memory other than basic programming and relevant numbers “Zero Day”. The decision to do this was made in 2006, and was one Harold struggled with, while Ingram thought it to be cruel, stating that "memories make us who we are". Harold maintained his original mindset telling Nathan that allowing the Machine to evolve past what he coded it to do was an "existential risk humanity cannot afford" “ Although he regretted the decision afterwards, Finch argued it was for the best. Before rebooting the Machine after its compression in 2015, he swore not to make the same mistake again “YHWH” “ It is unknown to what extent Finch can control the Machine and to what extent these restrictions were lifted by the Decima Virus. Flashbacks indicate that the Machine took an active interest in safeguarding Finch but he has since set limits on such conduct “The Contingency”“The High Road”, however it does so again in later seasons. It is also unknown to what extent the Machine is self-aware. In Season 5, it seems to be as it has a personality of its own, based on Root's. Under certain circumstances, the admin Finch or an asset can communicate with the Machine by talking into any camera “Firewall” “The Contingency” “YHWH”. The camera flashes a red light to indicate that the Machine is processing the request and it responds via pay phone or mobile phone. After Root's death, the Machine speaks directly to the Team using her voice, though it still sends them numbers via pay phone. It not only replicates Root's voice but her behavior and speech patterns as well. It could replicate others, but chose Root's after Finch agreed “The Day the World Went Away”“Synecdoche”. Operations For a list of messages relayed by the Machine, see List of the Machine's Messages Primary Operations "Primary Operations" consist of identifying relevant threats and warning authorities by placing a subject's Social Security Number into FBI or NSA reports without indication as to where it originated. Most believe this information originates from intelligence agencies while some refer to its source as "Research". Individuals detected in such operations are known as Relevant Numbers. After Vigilance leaked documents regarding Northern Lights, the government severed its link with the Machine, believing to have shut it down. As a response the Machine assigned the relevant numbers to "Tertiary Operations" “Most Likely To...”. Secondary Operations "Secondary Operations" consists of identifying non-relevant threats and reporting them to assets. "Secondary Operations" were created by Nathan Ingram by way of the "Contingency Function". Individuals detected in such operations are known as Irrelevant Numbers or Non-relevant Numbers. The "Contingency Function" was a backdoor added by Ingram without Finch' knowledge before the Machine was turned over to the government in 2009 to access the irrelevant list “No Good Deed”“One Percent”. In 2010 Day 3178, September 13, Finch discovered the Contingency and confronted Ingram, who later admitted creating it. Finch insisted they should not play God and attempted to delete the function. Unable to do so, he removed Ingram's status as auxiliary administrator and suspended the Contingency. The night after Ingram's death Day 3191, September 26, he reactivated it and discovered the Machine had classified him as "non-relevant" “God Mode”. Finch reprogrammed the Contingency function to send him or another asset social security numbers pertaining to irrelevant crimes via pay phone using the Dewey Decimal System and books in The Library “The Contingency”. Finch receives coded titles and author initials of books cataloged by the DDS “No Good Deed”. Combining their DDS numbers gives a SSN. The extent of the "Contingency Function" is unknown. Books with the call signs Family, Alpha, Mike; Uncertainty, Romeo, Kilo; Reflections, Juliet, Oscar... form the Social Security Number for Leon Tao {{crossref2x01}} Tertiary Operations "Tertiary Operations" is a new category created by the Machine “Root Path /”. Its extent is unknown, as is its purpose. The Machine has only ever inlisted Root however Finch and Reese learned of it after Root used Shaw to rescue a Tertiary Number “Mors Praematura”. In an attempt to stop Samaritans' development and later give it blind spots by recoding seven of its servers, Root recruited a team of hackers led by Daniel Casey “A House Divided” “Deus Ex Machina”. It later tasked Root with acquiring items to build the Briefcase, an operation that involved Caleb Phipps “Blunt” “Search and Destroy” “YHWH”. It is unknown whether these tasks were designated "Tertiary Operations". After its decompression, the Machine overloaded Root's cochlear implant, having designated her a threat “SNAFU”. This reopened the channel of communication between the Machine and its Analog Interface. The Machine eventually sends Root on a series of tasks, providing temporary identities allowing her to exposes a medium of communication for Samaritan hiding in plain sight and is able to send a message to Shaw so she engineer and execute an escape plan “QSO” “Reassortment”. It is unknown whether these tasks were designated "Tertiary Operations". When Team Machine hard-coded seven Samaritan servers to create new identities for themselves, the Machine built in an exception for Root so she can be assigned a new identity at will. As the Analog Interface, she executes tasks that place her in risk of detection. The Machine changes her identity if the threat of detection by Samaritan is too high or when a mission requires a certain identity “A House Divided” “Deus Ex Machina” “QSO” and will even print out an ID card from its own printer “Reassortment”. Assigning new identityThreat of detection too highNew identity assignedThreat of detection negligibleAssigning new identityThreat of detection too high The Machine has given its Analog Interface numbers directly on three occasions,“Root Path /” “QSO” “Sotto Voce”. In Root Path /, the number was also sent to Finch due to a different threat. Notable Victims Team Machine Harold Finch Attacked due to confusion after rebuild “SNAFU”. Root Attacked due to confusion after rebuild “SNAFU”. John Reese Attempted to kill after rebuild due to confusion failed “SNAFU”. Team Samaritan Samaritan Aided Finch in destroying the original with the ICE-9 virus “.exe”. Duplicate of the Machine battled and destroyed final Samaritan copy “return 0”. Multiple unnamed Samaritan operatives Neutralized by directing Reese in God Mode “return 0”. The Government Roger McCourt Attempted to have killed by the Team to stop Samaritan inception failed “Death Benefit”. Fort Kelly personnel Neutralized to protect Finch as he stole the ICE-9 virus “Synecdoche”. Woman at Fort Meade Framed as a threat to protect Finch “.exe”. Law Enforcement Cal Beecher Indirectly caused Beecher's death by issuing his numbers too late “Trojan Horse”. Three dirty cops Shot and killed by snipers hired by the Machine to rescue Reese and Fusco “return 0”. Organized Crime The Brotherhood Neutralized by sending Reese instructions and directing him in God Mode “YHWH”. Other Richard Nelson Indirectly caused Nelson's death by issuing his numbers too late “In Extremis”. Notes Palantir bears a resemblance to the Machine. The software has located terrorists, prevented bank fraud and tracked disease outbreaks using data-mining tools allowing users to comb through and make connections in massive sets of data. It is able to "learn" when new data is uploaded to its server farms. military intelligence has used it to help predict locations of IEDs. The Domain Awareness System has similarities to the Machine. It is unknown to what extent the Machine aided Ingram in helping irrelevant numbers. However, some cooperation is implied when he discusses the Contingency function with Finch “Zero Day”. The Machine can communicate through a phone not connected to any network. This was seen when Root was in the psychiatric hospital and Ronald Carmichael pointed out her phone was not connected to any network. Root simply stated that "God doesn't need AT&T" “Lady Killer”. The Machine has also displayed the ability to send Morse Code through a phone without initiating a phone call first “Aletheia”. It can also communicate via fax “YHWH”. Root tells Carmichael about the Machine's limitations even after the virus and thus its need for her, but admits it was able to hack the automatic drug dispenser and dispense drugs at her request “Lady Killer”. The Machine can drive computerized vehicles remotely as it drove Finch to an airport with a car he had stolen from Richard Barnett, and later drove Reese and Shaw out of Fort Meade safely. “.exe” It was believed that the Machine was no match for Samaritan and the simulations of battles between the mini-clones of their core codes, with the Machine losing in over 10 billion scenarios, confirmed this. “ShotSeeker” The Machine suggests that it lost those because it was aware that those were simulations and had other options if it failed, while in reality, it didn't. Ultimately, the Machine is proven to be superior as it destroys Samaritan's copy and survives. “return 0” Before her death, Root hard-coded defensive capabilities into the Machine to be able to defend itself against Samaritan. Respecting Finch's wishes, she designed it to only deploy if given permission by Finch, which seemingly activated when Finch, motivated by Root's death, asked the Machine to help him escape prison and finally fight back outside of his self-imposed rules. “The Day the World Went Away” This may have come into play in Her final showdown against Samaritan, which could also explain why She was able to defeat Samaritan whereas Her mini-clone couldn't because that version did not have Root's additions. “return 0” The Machine displays emotions while it analyzes human nature and talks to Finch, displaying sadness when saying goodbye. It displays sympathy when watching the young John Reese after his foster father's death and regrets not having Root cremated, saying it didn't "have the heart" to do it even though it knew better. The Machine shows kindness towards Shaw, passing on Root's thoughts and feelings towards her near the end of its existence. The Machine, in the form of Root, puts its hand on Reese's shoulder in a gesture of solidarity as he fights Samaritan's agents with its assistance in his final battle “return 0”. On certain rare occasions, the Machine would give a number other than a Social Security Number, such as a USCIS Alien Registration Number “Razgovor” and a marriage license “A More Perfect Union”. Trivia The Machine's size is estimated to be TB or x 1044 PB. The Machine uses Futura as its interface font. Earlier, simpler builds use Apple II. This font is also often used for the labels and timestamps of most surveillance cameras featured in the show.[1] The $1 fee charged for the Machine echoes the $1 fee DuPont charged the US government for its work on the Manhattan Project. The Machine is stored on IFT Sabre Blade 2437 servers which are renamed Dell PowerEdge SC1425 servers “Pilot” “Ghosts”. A previous generation of the Machine's code was shown on screen. The code displayed was that of the Stuxnet worm “Prophets”. The Machine is first described using "she/her" pronouns by Root in “Liberty”. It is implied this is how it asked to be addressed. The rest of Team Machine picked up the habit in later episodes. In Return 0, The Machine tells Shaw its "Big Sister" when first speaking to her in Root's voice, as a reference to "Big Brother", a character from George Orwell's Nineteen Eighty-Four, the leader of a society constantly under surveillance. In the Ubisoft video game series Watch Dogs, a "smart city" OS called CTOS, using pattern recognition software, is noticeably similar to The Machine. Interestingly, the main protagonist in the first game, Aiden Pearce, shares similarities to John Reese.

“ We will help you defeat Zeus. ” –Gaia Gaia, mother of the Titans and the Earth itself. The Titans were the race of deities who ruled over Greece before the Olympian Gods came to existence. They were the ones who aided Kratos in his quest for vengeance against Zeus but they became the secondary group of antagonists upon Gaia's betrayal. Greek Mythology In Greek mythology, the Titans ιάν were a race of extremely powerful and physically huge deities that ruled the world during the legendary Golden Age of Mankind. They were the children of Gaia and Ouranos. There were 12 original Titans, the males being known as the Titans Oceanus, Coeus, Kreios, Hyperion, Iapetus, and Cronos and the females as the Titanides Rhea, Theia/Thera, Phoebe, Mnemosyne, Themis and Tethys. They were ruled by the youngest Titan, Cronos, who overthrew Ouranos with the aid of Gaia who crafted his sickle and his brothers not Oceanus and Typhon, Titan God of Wind Storm and son of Tartarus and Gaia. Later, several of the Titans also produced offspring which were also Titans. These Titans included the children of Oceanus the Potamoi and Oceanids, the children of Coeus the Coeides Leto, Asteria and Lelantos, the children of Kreios the Creionides Astraeus, Pallas and Perses, the children of Hyperion the Hyperionides Helios, Eos and Selene, the children of Iapetus the Iapetionides Atlas, Menoetius, Prometheus, and Epimetheus. The Titans preceded the Olympian Gods who, led by Zeus, eventually overthrew them in the Titanomachy. The Titans were then imprisoned in Tartarus, the deepest and darkest pit of the Underworld. Only a few Titans such as Prometheus, Oceanus were spared that fate. Atlas, who led the Titans in the Titanomachy, was forced to hold the sky Ouranos upon his shoulders, fore the sky was greatly damaged in the war and couldn't support itself and also because of the death of the sky Ouranus. In the God of War Series Birth and Fate Rhea awaiting Cronos atop the Summit of Sacrifice. In the beginning, there was darkness. The Titans were born on the Island of Creation, home to the Sisters of Fate and controllers of time. Themis was born of Gaia, who became the embodiment of divine order, law, and custom, giving the Titans a purpose to be a part of the world. The rest of the world was created by the Titans and Cronos was given the title as ruler. However, it was prophesized that one day Cronos would be overthrown by his very children, just as Uranus had been years before. In an attempt to sway the Sisters into his favor, Cronos gifted them with the Steeds of Time. The Sisters refused to change his fate and the fate that would also haunt the Titans forever. Cronos began devouring his children one by one so that the prophecy may not come true. His wife, Rhea, could not bear another such loss and hid the sixth and final child on an island far away from the watchful eyes of her husband. Cronos foolishly swallowed a rock wrapped in cloth in the baby's place. The child who escaped his siblings’ fate was Zeus, who was raised by his grandmother Gaia herself to nurture his desire to free his brothers and sisters from their prison. When the day came and Zeus had become a young man, he freed his siblings from their cruel father and the Great War began. The Great War Titans in their last moments on the mortal world before being engulfed by the Blade of Olympus' power. The Titans believed that they had to win or the Gods would make the mortals suffer, caring only for control and power. The Titans Prometheus and Helios In the mythology Epimetheus also joined the Olympians, which isn't the case in the game joined the Gods in the battle against the Titans, betraying their very own. The Titans were led by the great Atlas, who saved Cronos, the latter was about to have his soul consumed by the hands of Hades, by hurtling rocks and causing earthquakes toward the God. In Cronos' place Atlas was captured by Hades with the help of Poseidon, but the battle continued. Mountains were hurled like mere pebbles, and the ground shook from massive earthquakes. The war between the Titans and the Gods forged the landscape of the mortal world. Eventually, Zeus created the Blade of Olympus, and used its immense magical power to send the Titans to the foulest pits of the Underworld – Tartarus. This ended the Great War, and the gods established their domain upon Mount Olympus, being worshiped by the mortals who begged for their mercy and guidance. The Golden Age had indeed ended. An unidentified Titan, imprisoned in The Jails of Tartarus. In Tartarus, the Titans would be tortured or trapped for all eternity despite Cronos being the one who caused the great war with the Gauntlet of Zeus being created to chain and bind them. One of the Titans chained to the walls of Tartarus with this method that Kratos encounters was Hyperion. Cronos suffered the fate of wandering the Desert of Lost Souls with Pandora's Temple chained to his back until the strength of the whirling winds and sands ripped his flesh from his bones. Aegaeon was transformed into a living prison for oathbreakers by the Furies for breaking his oath to Zeus to fight alongside the Gods with the other Hecatonchires. The Titan Typhon was imprisoned within an enormous mountain. On the same mountain as Prometheus, because of betraying Zeus and giving the mortals the fires of Olympus, was forced to endure the pain of having his liver eaten everyday by a large eagle only to suffer the fate again and again. The great Titan Atlas was to hold the world of the living on his shoulders, his hands chained to the earth though Kratos broke one of the chains, releasing him from some of the pain. Kratos' Encounter With Cronos Cronos, with the temple of Pandora on his back, suffering in the Desert of Lost Souls. Athena instructed Kratos to journey to the Desert of Lost Souls where the Titan Cronos crawled with Pandora’s Temple upon his back. The Titan showed no notice of him as Kratos climbed a mountain leading to the temple for three days, while Cronos was still crawling pitifully across the harsh desert wasteland with the wind blowing in his face. The mighty Titan walked in the desert for millennia until Kratos retrieved Pandora's Box. They would later meet at the Steeds of Time A holograph of Cronos. The Titan was later sent to Tartarus with the temple chained to his back. The Prisoner of Atlantis Within the volcanic mountain outside of Atlantis, the lava titan, Thera, was imprisoned and she appears to be the core of the volcanic activity. There, Kratos was informed by her that his arrival was foretold by Gaia and pleaded to be released or they would both remain prisoners of their own torments. Kratos hurled his blades into Thera's chest, thus receiving the power of Thera's Bane and setting Thera free, who then started tearing down her chains as the spartan left the chamber, leaving destruction in her wake. As the volcano erupted, she was seen rising out of her captivity in the distance, though what became of Thera remains unknown. It's likely that Thera, along with the other Titans, joined Kratos in his assault against the gods and was killed during the battle. Alliance with Kratos Kratos meets Gaia and the Titans. Kratos was saved by Gaia's guidance while he was being taken to the Underworld. She told Kratos that Zeus would have to be destroyed in order for there to be any hope for Kratos. With her voice whispering into Kratos' ear, the powerful warrior traveled to the mountain where Typhon and Prometheus rested. Typhon, bound to his mountainous prison, refused to help the former Olympian. Typhon tried blowing Kratos off of the cliffs where he walked, hoping he would fall to his death. Kratos managed to obtain Typhon's Bane by stabbing Typhon's eye, blinding him. Kratos also released Prometheus from his torment by burning him to death in a fiery pit, granting him the power of the Rage of the Titans. Cronos gifted Kratos with the last of his magic while traveling with the Steeds of Time. This magic was known as Cronos' Rage. Kratos also fell into the grasp of the mighty Titan Atlas, who gifted him with the knowledge of the Great War and the powerful Atlas Quake. With all of his powers and gifts, Kratos defeated the Sisters of Fate and traveled back in time to the final minutes of the Great War. He saved the Titans from being banished and brought them into his time. There, he and the Titans climbed Mount Olympus to finally rid the mortals of the petty gods once and for all. The mortals were terrified, but there was nowhere to run or hide from the brutal battle. Second Titanomachy “ Zeus! Your son has returned! I bring the destruction of Olympus!! ” With the Second Titanomachy having begun, the Olympians immediately leapt into battle against the Titans climbing up Mount Olympus. Helios, Hermes, Hercules, and Hades engaged the Titans head on, while Poseidon waits with Zeus. Hades in his giant form would use his Claws to dislodge the Titan Oceanus as he was making his way up the mountain. Poseidon then entered the fray by leaping off the top of Olympus, he targeted the Titan Epimetheus and blasted through his chest, killing him instantly and knocking him off the mountain into the waters below. With the help of his Hippocampi, which erupted from the water, Poseidon pulled at least one more Titan off Mount Olympus before reaching Kratos and Gaia, in the form of a colossal watery construct. After a long and hard struggle, Kratos and Gaia combined their efforts, managing to kill the God of the Sea, with the Spartan gouging his eyes and snapping his neck. Victorious from their battle with Poseidon, Kratos and Gaia reached Zeus, who then summoned a lightning bolt to blast them off the mountain, resulting in Kratos falling into the Underworld, though not before learning that he was just a pawn for Gaia which made the Titans his new enemies along with the Gods. In retribution for her betrayal, Kratos sends Gaia plummeting from Olympus. After killing Hades and escaping the Underworld, Kratos happened upon a wounded Gaia who praised the Spartan for surviving his fall, stating "The blood of Cronos serves you well". She then pleaded with him for help but he cuts the vines of Gaia's damaged hand. When she pleads to him by asking if she meant anything to him, Kratos responded in a form of cruel irony that Gaia was his pawn as she stated she must face Zeus so the Titans may have their vengeance on the Gods. However, Kratos stated the war against the gods was his war not hers. For her earlier betrayal, he uses the Blade of Olympus and cuts the remaining vine to her hand causing her to fall off the mountain to her supposed demise. Kratos battling a Centaur General as Perses looks on Later in the war-torn city of Olympia, Helios was still engaged in combat with the Titan Perses when Kratos reached the site of the battle. With the help of a Ballista, Kratos knocked Helios and his chariot into the grasp of Perses, who crushed and tossed the Sun God across the city. Perses then proceeded to rampage throughout the city while Kratos continued onward with his own agenda and decapitated the Sun God with his bare hands. Once he made his way through an Icarus Vent, Kratos came across Perses again, who tried to kill him, as possible retribution for what Kratos had done to Gaia. Kratos managed to shun the attack of the Titan, then pulled out the Blade of Olympus and impaled Perses' left eye before causing an explosion, blasting the Titan's face. Perses fell off the mountain once again, only this time, it seemed very unlikely he would have survived the fall as he is never seen again. Cronos, attempting to crush Kratos to death When sent by Hephaestus on a suicide mission to find the Omphalos Stone in Tartarus, Kratos stumbled onto the fallen hand of Gaia before encountering his grandfather Cronos. Enraged at his very presence and for supposedly killing Gaia, Cronos made an attempt to kill his grandson, losing a few finger nails to Kratos in the process. After battling against the massive Titan, Cronos managed to swallow Kratos, which proved to be a fatal mistake as the Spartan managed to cut his way out using the Blade of Olympus, spilling Cronos' intestines in the process. Kratos then proceeded to kill Cronos with the Blade of Olympus before returning to Hephaestus with the Omphalos Stone to craft the Nemesis Whip. During the final battle between him and Zeus, Kratos encountered Gaia, who managed to mostly regrow her lost hand to climb back up the mountain, one last time when she interrupted the fight between father and son. Declaring that "the reign of Olympus ends now" upon her return, Gaia then expresses anger towards Kratos and the Gods as her world "bleeds" because of them. Revealing that she never sought Kratos' death, Gaia proclaims that the Spartan has left her no other choice; Zeus took this moment to comment that Kratos has failed her and that she should have chosen the other one instead. Angered by this defiance, Gaia simply replied that "father and son will die together" and crushed the Shrine of Olympus in her hands. Zeus and Kratos leapt into a large gaping wound in her chest caused earlier by Poseidon's Hippocampi and found their way to her heart, where Kratos proceeded to shatter its defenses, and drew energy from the Titan, causing her immense pain. The battle resumed when Zeus made his appearance and continued until Kratos stabbed Zeus with the Blade of Olympus and ran him through Gaia's heart, killing her as her body dissolving collapsed onto Olympus, leaving only large chunks of earth, and some withered trees and branches behind. With the deaths of all the other Titans, the only remaining Titan is possibly Atlas as he is left holding the world on his shoulders at Pillar of the World, Typhon's fate is largely unknown but possibly still alive. Appearance Full body of a Titan Physical The Titans are as large as mountains and appear to be mostly elemental. Though they are evidently not very physically beautiful in any way with few exceptions, they possess immense physical strength and stamina. The Olympians appear more civilized and human than the Titans, whereas the Titans appear more ancient, earthly, and elemental. However, this is not applied to all Titans, as Rhea, Prometheus, Eos and Helios look more human, and share the human's common figure and overall height and appearance though the latter two were Titans that helped the Olympians and may have transformed to their current appearance. In-Game There are numerous Titans who make various appearances throughout the entire God of War series. These are a few Gaia Deceased The Primordial Goddess of the Earth and the mother and grandmother of all of The Titans. Also their current leader. Ouranos presumed Deceased The Primordial God of the Sky and the father and grandfather of all of The Titans. Atlas The Titan that was forced to carry the Sky on his shoulders. Also, he was new emperor of the Titans in the events of the Great War. He was the Titan of Endurance. Cronos Deceased The Father of Zeus, Poseidon, Hades, Hera, Hestia, and Demeter.

Selene The daughter of Hyperion, and sister of Helios and Eos. She is the Titaness-goddess of the Moon, Night and Birth. Helios Deceased God of Sun. Eos Presumed Deceased The daughter of Hyperion and sister of Helios and Selene. She is the Titaness-goddess of Dawn, Dew, Morning Red and Frost. Oceanus presumed Deceased The Oceanic Titan seen climbing Mt. Olympus in "God of War III." He is the divine personification of the "World Ocean" and the Titan of Water and Ocean. Prometheus Deceased The Titan of Foresight and Forethought, forced to bear the pain of having his liver eaten every day by an eagle after giving fire to mankind. Rhea The mother of the first Olympians, the wife of Cronos, and Queen of the Titans. She was the Titaness of Motherhood and Earthly Elements. Themis Titaness-goddess of Law, Justice, Divine, and Custom. She is the sister of Mnemosyne. Mnemosyne Titaness-goddess of Memory and Remembrance. She is the sister of Themis. Typhon The Titan-Giant of Wind and Storm, who is punished by Zeus by trapping him underneath a large mountain. Perses Deceased The Titan of Destruction. Epimetheus Deceased The Titan of Hindsight and Afterthought Thera The Titaness of Lava, who is trapped inside a volcano in Atlantis. Iapetus Ancestor of all of Mortal races. Polyphemus Deceased A gigantic Cyclops, son of Poseidon, referred to as a Titan. Gyges Deceased One of the Hecatonchires, sons of Gaia and Ouranos and brothers of the Titans, though not Titans themselves. Aegaeon Deceased Another Hecatonchire. Turned into a prison for the living damned by The Furies for breaking his blood oath with Zeus. Python Deceased The Titan-Serpent son of Gaia and by the blood of Ouranos, slain by the god Apollo in Delphi. Cottus Deceased One of the Hecatonchires, sons of Gaia and Ouranos and brothers of the Titans. Powers The main powers that all Titans possessed are superhuman strength, superhuman stamina, superhuman durability, immortality and regenerative abilities. Some of the Titans may also possess some form of energy projection and the power to control and manipulate the elements which they embody. Oceanus and Perses seem to be covered in their respective elements, Oceanus being covered in Water and Lightning, and Perses is covered in Lava implying that they both could manipulate those elements. Gaia could also possess the power over Earth and possibly over the life on it. They seem to possess shape-shifting ability, since the Titans Rhea, Helios, Prometheus and Eos fully resemble human beings in size, height and beauty. Given that their fellow Titans didn't look appealing at all, so it can be assumed that they prefer a more attractive human form, and assume their appearance. However, it is unknown what powers Rhea, mother of the six original Olympians, possesses, as she hasn't displayed her own powers in the series, as well as her current status and location being unknown, though it is likely she is deceased or living somewhere far away. They also seem to have awareness over the events that happen in the corresponding element that they embody in the world. For example, Gaia saw all the events that happened to Kratos and was able to talk to him despite not being present at the time. The same happens with other Titans like Prometheus and Typhon, who had some knowledge about Kratos even though they were both isolated in a mountain.
