Aliases & name spellings

• Ares; “the old man Ares” (ep 0159 00:15:30–00:15:56); “Elder God Ares” (narration, ep 0161 00:06:37–00:07:10). See names.

Overview

An old Elder God, short and small, who smokes a pipe and takes the long view: every evil, he says, meets a matching good (ep 0159 00:13:54–00:15:56; ep 0185 00:06:00–00:06:09). In his youth he was Zeus’s rival for the leadership, and with Zeus and the gods before them he locked the devils away in hell (ep 0227 00:18:20–00:18:58; ep 0259 00:16:00–00:16:36). In the Tournament of Elders he loses Round 3 to Hera with his “weakest creations” and is eliminated when Demigra kills his five true creations in Round 7 (ep 0213 00:15:43–00:16:15; ep 0226 00:15:12–00:28:21; ep 0227 00:11:49–00:12:10).

As of his last appearance (ep 0259): eliminated but watching; he warns the remaining gods that Ardos’s possession was “an ATTACK FROM HELL” (ep 0259 00:13:38–00:16:36).
