'''Ares''' ({{ | '''Ares''' (Japanese: {{hl|アレス|Aresu}} ''Aless'') is the son and heir of [[Eldigan]] the Lionheart of the [[Agustria]]n state of [[Nordion]], a full-blooded descendant of the Crusader [[Hoðr]], and the inheritor of the Demon Sword [[Mystletainn]]. As an infant, after he and his mother [[Grahnye]] fled to [[Leonster]] in the wake of Agustrian civil war and the death of his father, he was orphaned following Leonster's fall and adopted by the mercenary [[Javarro]]<ref>{{Cite|'''Ares:''' My father knew Agustria was about to be engulfed in war. So he sent me and my frail mother to her parent's residence in Leonster. But I lost my dear mother to the flames of war during the empire's invasion of Lenster.<br>'''Nanna:''' And that's when you went with Javarro?<br>'''Aless:''' Yeah, he took me in after that, and I traveled the world with his mercenary troops.|Ares and [[Nanna]]|Genealogy of the Holy War}}</ref>. As he aged he became a mercenary himself working for Javarro's group, and developed a reputation as the "Black Knight". Eventually on a job in [[Dahna]] in Grann 777, he left Javarro's service and allied with [[Seliph]] in his revolution against the [[Grannvale]] Empire. | ||
==Biography== | |||
While on deployment in [[Dahna]] with Javarro's force in the employ of [[Bramsel]], he received word of the approach of the [[Isaach]] liberation army under [[Seliph]]. He remarked his eagerness to confront the son of [[Sigurd]], his father's "sworn enemy", to [[Lene]]{{hover|*|Laylea if Lene is not present}}, whom he had befriended while at Dahna. He stopped Bramsel from attempting to sexually assault Lene, threatening him with Mystletainn and causing him to back down. After the fall of Fort Melgen, Ares was sent out with Javarro's army to attack Seliph's army before they could come for Dahna; shortly afterward, he swore to cut ties with Javarro after Javarro told him to leave Lene to her inevitable fate at Bramsel's hands. | |||
Ares then encountered Seliph on the battlefield and revealed to him the claim of Sigurd's role as Eldigan's mortal enemy, and was met by Seliph's claim of Eldigan and Sigurd being close friends. Shocked at the possibility of his worldview being wrong, he chose to temporarily ally with Seliph until he could straighten out the reality of the situation. He soon received confirmation of this from his cousin [[Nanna]], who presented him with a letter from Eldigan himself addressed directly to Ares, which she had inherited from her mother and Eldigan's sister [[Lachesis]].<ref>{{Cite|'''Nanna:''' Ares, I have something for you.<br>'''Ares:''' What... Is that from my father!?<br>'''Nanna:''' Yes. My mother passed it on to me. It's addressed to you, Ares.<br>'''Ares:''' ...!!<br>'''Nanna:''' See... Sir Sigurd never once betrayed Lord Eldigan's trust. I'm sure they were good friends till the very end.<br>'''Ares:''' Whoa... I've had it wrong all this time.|[[Nanna]] and Ares|Genealogy of the Holy War}}</ref> | |||

===Analysis=== | |||
{{analysis}} | |||
Ares is a [[Cavalier]] who automatically becomes playable midway through [[Beyond the Desert|Chapter 7]]. Ares is an extremely powerful unit owing to a combination of his stats, [[skills]], and personal weapon. [[Mystletainn]], his personal weapon, is very powerful, with 30 might, 5 weight, +20 [[Skill (stat)|skill]], +10 in [[resistance]], and the [[Critical (skill)|Critical]] skill. He also has a mount and [[Follow-Up]], [[Adept]], and [[Vantage]] as skills. | |||
Further solidifying Ares's reputation as a powerful and reliable fighter are his solid bases and great growths. While his 30% speed growth might seem low, because of the low speed of most enemies in the second generation of ''Genealogy of the Holy War'' he will have no trouble doubling for the majority of the game. His low resistance base is easily covered by the bonus offered by Mystletainn, and his resistance growth is also fairly solid. Ares also has the ability to wield any sword in the game (besides personal swords) at base and has access to B rank lances upon promotion, however because of their rather high weight, Ares will generally fare better by sticking with swords. This is without mentioning how Ares is also in the cavalier class, a class that benefits significantly from the huge maps of ''Genealogy'' and the roads which boost his [[movement]]. | |||
Ares's only flaw is that he cannot inherit any items and as such is forced to buy them with his own money. Furthering this is that Mystletainn's high cost means he cannot freely use it when he joins. However, thanks to his excellent combat, he can clear the arena without any significant trouble, but the player should be careful as the costs of repairing the Mystletainn can be quite high and may prevent him from having enough money to buy all the items he desires. As such, he makes great use of the [[Thief's Band]], obtainable from a village in [[The Wyvern Knights of Thracia|Chapter 8]], since it lets him steal money from every enemy he attacks without needing to use the weak and inaccurate [[Thief Sword]], and will typically end up with hefty sums of cash after enduring many fights during enemy phase with the band in his inventory. | |||
Overall, Ares is one of the strongest units in the second generation and will be an invaluable unit throughout the lategame. | |||

“ | Who of you doesn't recognise this sword? I must warn you: the Mystletainn craves blood! So, who wants to be its first victim? | ” | — Ares, to Bramsel |
---|
Ares (Japanese: アレス Aless) is the son and heir of Eldigan the Lionheart of the Agustrian state of Nordion, a full-blooded descendant of the Crusader Hoðr, and the inheritor of the Demon Sword Mystletainn. As an infant, after he and his mother Grahnye fled to Leonster in the wake of Agustrian civil war and the death of his father, he was orphaned following Leonster's fall and adopted by the mercenary Javarro[2]. As he aged he became a mercenary himself working for Javarro's group, and developed a reputation as the "Black Knight". Eventually on a job in Dahna in Grann 777, he left Javarro's service and allied with Seliph in his revolution against the Grannvale Empire.
Biography
While on deployment in Dahna with Javarro's force in the employ of Bramsel, he received word of the approach of the Isaach liberation army under Seliph. He remarked his eagerness to confront the son of Sigurd, his father's "sworn enemy", to Lene*, whom he had befriended while at Dahna. He stopped Bramsel from attempting to sexually assault Lene, threatening him with Mystletainn and causing him to back down. After the fall of Fort Melgen, Ares was sent out with Javarro's army to attack Seliph's army before they could come for Dahna; shortly afterward, he swore to cut ties with Javarro after Javarro told him to leave Lene to her inevitable fate at Bramsel's hands.
Ares then encountered Seliph on the battlefield and revealed to him the claim of Sigurd's role as Eldigan's mortal enemy, and was met by Seliph's claim of Eldigan and Sigurd being close friends. Shocked at the possibility of his worldview being wrong, he chose to temporarily ally with Seliph until he could straighten out the reality of the situation. He soon received confirmation of this from his cousin Nanna, who presented him with a letter from Eldigan himself addressed directly to Ares, which she had inherited from her mother and Eldigan's sister Lachesis.[3]
Fire Emblem: Genealogy of the Holy War
Role
Ares is a playable character during the second generation. In Chapter 7, Ares will appear as an enemy unit affiliated with Dahna once Melgen has been seized. After one turn, he will become an ally unit.

Analysis
This character analysis section may not be accurate to every player's experience. |
Ares is a Cavalier who automatically becomes playable midway through Chapter 7. Ares is an extremely powerful unit owing to a combination of his stats, skills, and personal weapon. Mystletainn, his personal weapon, is very powerful, with 30 might, 5 weight, +20 skill, +10 in resistance, and the Critical skill. He also has a mount and Follow-Up, Adept, and Vantage as skills.
Further solidifying Ares's reputation as a powerful and reliable fighter are his solid bases and great growths. While his 30% speed growth might seem low, because of the low speed of most enemies in the second generation of Genealogy of the Holy War he will have no trouble doubling for the majority of the game. His low resistance base is easily covered by the bonus offered by Mystletainn, and his resistance growth is also fairly solid. Ares also has the ability to wield any sword in the game (besides personal swords) at base and has access to B rank lances upon promotion, however because of their rather high weight, Ares will generally fare better by sticking with swords. This is without mentioning how Ares is also in the cavalier class, a class that benefits significantly from the huge maps of Genealogy and the roads which boost his movement.
Ares's only flaw is that he cannot inherit any items and as such is forced to buy them with his own money. Furthering this is that Mystletainn's high cost means he cannot freely use it when he joins. However, thanks to his excellent combat, he can clear the arena without any significant trouble, but the player should be careful as the costs of repairing the Mystletainn can be quite high and may prevent him from having enough money to buy all the items he desires. As such, he makes great use of the Thief's Band, obtainable from a village in Chapter 8, since it lets him steal money from every enemy he attacks without needing to use the weak and inaccurate Thief Sword, and will typically end up with hefty sums of cash after enduring many fights during enemy phase with the band in his inventory.
Overall, Ares is one of the strongest units in the second generation and will be an invaluable unit throughout the lategame.
Fire Emblem Awakening
Ares is playable as a SpotPass character, released in the Genealogy of the Holy War second-generation character set. He is also present as an enemy in the Lost Bloodlines 1 and 3, and Rogues & Redeemers 1, 2 and 3 of Awakening's DLC.

Endings
Genealogy of the Holy War
After its civil war, Agustria was annexed by Grannvale and was under the supervision of a strict and despotic administration.
And so, the establishment of a new united nation was the wish of everyone, and that wish was entrusted to Eldigan, the Lionheart's Royal House of Nordion.
The people welcomed Ares' return to the country with wild enthusiasm, as they saw in Ares the likeness of King Eldigan in his prime.
Ares returned to the country along with, among others,
His sweetheart, <wife>,
The knight Diarmuid/Tristan,
Nanna/Jeanne
And together with them, he devoted himself with all his strength to the reconstruction of an united Agustria.
Before long, under the reign of King Ares, Agustria, as Grannvale's most influent partner, will have an unprecedented development.
