Ares (Quest for Beasts)

Ares is the Greek god of war. He appears in The Quest for Beasts, in which he is voiced by Diedrich Bader, and also in the video The Quest for Beasts: War for the Gods, in which Bader reprises the role.

Biography
Little is revealed about Ares' background. However, it is apparent that he is the son of Zeus and Hera and was worshipped by the ancient Greeks as a symbol of war. In time, however, the Greeks abandoned their belief in many gods in favour of Christianity. Zeus eventually sent the gods into a millennia-long stone slumber, until they would later on reemerge in the 21st century.

Appearance and personality
Ares takes on the appearance of a fair-skinned man with chocolate brown hair, a goatee, golden eyes and a muscular, athletic frame. He dresses in red and black armour, a gladiator-style helmet and a pair of spiked gauntlets, which also act as improvised knuckledusters in combat. Unlike his sister, Athena, Ares is generally a thuggish, belligerent individual. He also favours the violent side of conflict, as opposed to Athena, who acts on reasoning rather than impulse. Despite this, he is a goodhearted individual.
