The young god of war. His aggressive, often violent demeanor and reputation as a mindless brute makes him not particularly well-liked among mortals (except in Thrace and Sparta) or even among most of Mount Olympus. Ares' father Zeus, King of Mount Olympus, has little to no patience for Ares, preferring Ares’ half-sister Athena by far. In one particularly traumatic childhood incident, Ares was kidnapped as a child by the Aloadae giants and locked in a bronze jar for an entire year; he has suffered from severe claustrophobia ever since. Ares' uncle Hades, King of the Underworld, has taken it upon himself to raise Ares, becoming the steady, caring father figure that Ares could not find in Zeus. The other inhabitants of the underworld have likewise become like a second family to Ares, including Ares' mentor Thanatos, the god of death and Hades' top lieutenant.

GOAL & MOTIVE

To protect the family and kingdom that took him in when no one else would.

NEMESIS

Sisyphus: the mortal king who plunged his uncle Hades' kingdom into chaos just so he himself could cheat death.
