"Ares" was born to a prominent elven family, both wealth and status assured as his birthright. Yet in the end Aredhel turned out not to be the son his parents had prayed for, and by some odd twist of fate one day would change his life forever, and he would have to work long and hard for all that he would attain. "There comes a time and a place when we are destined to find a certain something, or someone, that alters the course of our lives, that gives them purpose. For myself that time came unexpectedly during a leisurely stroll through the quiet forests that had been my home. And that someone was Amiara. I look back at all that was sacrificed so that I might be with her, and the memories hold naught but fondness." To be wed, each would be forced to leave behind all that they had known and start their lives over with only one another. Together, Aredhel and Amiara founded the House of Aetharyn, a haven where outcasts could leave their past behind and begin fresh lives. Yet Ares believes in keeping strict order among the houses, and as Master of the First House of Aetharyn, he is the highest ranking authority figure. True to his noble upbringing, he can be cold an callous in matters of business, often distant even toward his beloved wife. Other times he is just as warm and welcoming a friend or husband as any man could be, at least to those few who earn his respect or affection. |
