Background
Ares endured a rough adolescence marked by the death of his younger autistic brother, and his own heavy drug use. After drifting into seasonal firefighting work, he picked up odd jobs and a nomadic lifestyle. Quiet, strangely passive, and difficult to read, Ares turns out to be considerably more useful than his unassuming demeanor suggests.

Timeline
Physical Description
Blond, strong build, six feet tall. His expression hardly changes and he projects almost constant passivity and boredom. Covered in swirling tattoos of fire and demonic faces, though hardly anyone knows it.
Notable Details
Basically a golden retriever—if he was a pyromaniac who believed everything was transactional. Has Addison's and prefers not to take full dose of medication.
