History[]
Background[]
During the war against the Primordials occurred, all the negativity from their battles created the world and the Furies - Megaera, Alecto and Tisiphone. According to Orkos, the Furies were once fair in their judgments and punishments, and previously served the Olympians when one would make blood oaths to them. When Aegaeon the Hecatonchires broke his oath with Zeus, the Furies captured him, and decided to enact torture upon him as they believed death was too kind for an oath breaker. At some point, the Furies would encounter the god of war Ares, who's influence turned the three into ruthless torturers. The sisters would conspire with Ares to help him usurp Zeus from his throne, and Alecto conceived a child with him so it could be turned into the perfect warrior.
Ares was unsatisfied with his son Orkos, but Alecto spared her son by making him the Furies' oath keeper. He would go on to find another warrior, the Spartan general Kratos who prayed for the god of war to destroy his enemies in exchange for servitude. During this time, Megaera became more ruthless and sadistic, as she brutally tortured prisoners in the prison of the damned.
God of War: Ascension[]
When Kratos broke his oath with Ares after the god tricked the Spartan into killing his wife and daughter, the Furies were sent to capture him. The Furies would initially use illusions to keep him trapped, but he was assisted by Orkos, whom decided to go against the Furies for their ruthlessness and taking the eyes of the oracle. The three then came across Kratos when he was traversing the statue of Apollo, and proceeded to fight him until Megaera lost her arm from Kratos' blades. Though Alecto was able to subdue him, Orkos arrived and escaped, allowing Kratos to continue his journey. Despite this, the Furies would subdue both Orkos and Kratos after the statue of Apollo was reconstructed, and Megaera proceeded to torture the Ghost of Sparta within Aegaeon's prison.
When Kratos was imprisoned, Megaera appeared in front of him, and proceeded to torture him in revenge for severing her arm. After a brutal beating towards her adversary, Kratos retaliates by using his Chains to wrap her spider legs and rip the blades of chaos off the wall. After confronting her for a while, Kratos was able to rip out the second one and attack Megaera. However, Megaera managed to retreat and call for her minions. Kratos would get pass her minions and several monsters that came across him, and Megaera decided to awake Aegaeon by using her insects.
