Born of the War God

We open on the victory parade: Mars returned victorious, brought the Titans to their knees, and ended ten thousand years of tyranny. He tells his wife he is done with all of it — once he defeats the Titans, they leave it behind and build a life together. Their daughter Luna kisses him goodbye and says she is off to the celebration. Then the sound turns: hands being shoved, a blow landed, and a voice asking who on earth he thinks he is.

Episode twelve gives the quiet blacksmith his weapon. He produces the City Lord's personal token, which carries the City Lord's full authority. The room assumes a broke blacksmith stole it and calls it treason, ready to arrest him. Mars does not raise his voice: who I am does not matter — the token does.

Episode seven is the threat at the door. The man who hurt Luna tells her she never thought she could take him down, and reminds her his master is a god. Mars steps between them: let go of my daughter. The attacker threatens to chop the mother's hand off first, and tells Luna that whatever happens to her is her fault.

Mars, Luna and The Attacker carry the opening arc.

Mars

The retired God of War living as a blacksmith

He ended ten thousand years of Titan tyranny and chose a forge, a wife, and a daughter over the throne. For years he has let the town call him a broke blacksmith, until the hands at his daughter's throat force the token out.

“"Once I defeat the Titans, we'll leave it all behind and build a life together." — episode 1”

Luna

Mars' daughter who keeps quiet to protect her family

She is hurt and says nothing, to keep her parents out of it. When her attacker sneers at the broke blacksmith's family, she calls for her father anyway.

The Attacker

The man who threatens Luna and her mother

He hurts Luna, brags his master is a god, and threatens to chop the mother's hand off. He assumes the blacksmith at the door is nobody worth arresting — until the token comes out.

The opening arc moves from the victory retirement, to the threat at the door, to the City Lord's token. Five editorial picks from episodes 1, 7 and 12 — no ending spoilers.
