Icarus (God of War)

"Go back. Go back, warrior. There is no passage here. You will never make it across. You think you can, but you cannot. Do you hear me?! It is my wings that will make it across. It is my test! Do you not know who I am?! Have you not heard of Icarus? It is my fate to make it across, NONE OTHER!!! This is my test! The sisters will grant me an audience, not you. You will die, white warrior! You will die!"

- Icarus

Icarus is a minor villain and one of the bosses in God of War II.

Appearance
Icarus is a mortal. He's a crazy old man wearing a toga, and has two wings on his back. His wings appeared to be man-maded, worn out, wrinkled and melted, because he flew to close to the sun.

God of War 2
When Kratos were after the Sisters of Fate, he encountered an old man with wings named Icarus. Icarus mentioned that he was the one who was suppost to see the three sisters. Kratos then said thet he was going to get to the sisters with the help of Icarus' wings.

Boss Battle
Refusing to let Kratos go across the chasm, Kratos and Icarus start a confrontation. Both of them fought each other while they were both falling from the sky. During the fight, Icarus will try to ram Kratos onto the edge of the Chasm several times. When kratos climbs on Icarus' back, Icarus tried to convince Kratos that the Gods brought him there to help Icarus. However, Kratos didn't listened and ripped the wing off the old fool's back, causing Icarus to fall to his death and granting Kratos the power of flight.

Trivia

 * Out of all the boss battles in God of War 2, Icarus is probably the most unique. Most of the boss battles are on a platform, while the Icarus boss battle takes place falling into the Great Chasm.
