Ares

Ares, the God of War (also known as War, of the Four Horseman) is a former Old God now Primordial as a result of his dealings with Chaos.
== History ==
Ares, being the God of War is someone who thirsted for battle and conflict. The constant conflict between mortals and the Old Gods alike had fueled his existence and had allowed him to survive forever. He happened to have been the Old God's greatest warrior, but during the Clash of the Old Gods, had nearly met his end after a lengthy battle with Malignagon, the first the God of War had feared for his life. Since this day, a different Ares had awakened. One with a more humble disposition, but one as well, with a more selfish attitude, valuing his own life more than others. When the Old God's conflict had threatened his life as well as his existence due to the potential conflict becoming wiped out, he had no choice. He remembered the deity they encountered during one of the Olympians' foolhardy attempts to take down a Primordial. He went to him and asked him for a new power, one that prevented his existence from being threatened from peace and another that allowed him to indulge in his favorite talent routinely: war. Ares, in exchange for these offers, offered himself as an advisor and ward of his islands. The greater sadism and bloodlust of the person he went to emerged as he mercilessly beat him down and taunted him for his traitorous acts. However, he accepted, adding another part of the bargain. His betrayal to him would mean the destruction of his soul: his existence was now bound to his loyalty to his new master: Chaos. This was the awakening of War, with Ares being a name that he would now cast aside.
== Personality ==
Ares is calculating, merciless, and selfish. While Ares is hailed as a master tactician and able to come up with strategies that could win them most, if not every battle for the Horsemen. He is not afraid to chastise plans if he believes they are foolish or reckless, choosing to chastise them or even hit them depending on how ridiculous their plan is. Ares willingness to speak against Chaos made the Primordial much more tolerant toward criticism of his own plans. Ares's selfishness is shown when he chooses to betray his own pantheon and family to preserve his own existence by siding with Chaos instead, knowing that he would be the one to allow him the war his body desperately desires.
== Physical and Mental Analysis ==
Mech and Physicus have made a report on their observations of Ares due to being unable to communicate with the War God himself.
* He is gifted both as a tactician and a warrior in battle, having extremely good strategy and quick-thinking
* He wields a two-handed greatsword gifted to him by Chaos, having the strength to easily wield it with one hand, and a spear and shield.
* He rules over the Inner Circle of Leonidas, which consists of 300 men who by his request, were also bound to Chaos to continue their tutelage and servitude under Ares.
* He was gifted a White Steed by Chaos after becoming War, leader of the Four Horsemen. Even without his horse, he can keep up with Oni on foot.
