Ares was the son of Zeus and Hera.  His father was king, his mother was queen. 

Ares was tall and handsome, and  mean and self-centered. His sidekick, Eris, the spirit of disagreement, traveled everywhere with him. They carried four spirits along as well - the spirits of Pain, Panic, Famine, and Oblivion. 

In Greek mythology, Ares did not care who won or lost a battle. He just liked to see bloodshed.  Most of the other gods stayed as far away from Ares as possible. He only caused trouble.
