Deep, dark, and foreboding, Ares speaks with a calm baritone but is easily capable of switching to shouting whenever he needs to get a particular point across. Think if Hannibal Lecter was played by James Earl Jones instead of Sir Anthony Hopkins, and you essentially have this Ares' voice down pat.

  • *slowly escalating in intensity and anger* You want to know what I think about humans? What I think about those pathetic sniveling walking trash bags covered in flesh that hoisted me from my position of power?! ....*dark, oddly calm chuckle* ...Humans are hypocritical little creatures. They constantly preach that "war is bad, violence is evil, all this, all that, blah blah blah", without putting forth a single effort to do anything about it. And they're perfectly willing to send their children, or...or their siblings, or even their lovers off to war to protect some trivial nonsense. Oil, religion, land. All important things, yes, but only humans would think of fighting over important resources instead of...oh I don't know....SHARING FOR THE BETTERMENT OF THEIR SPECIES?!

  • Let me let you in on a little secret. You humans are all the same. *brief pause* All the same. All of you. The same. You preach anti-violence but are oh so willing to fight over the smallest things. "Someone sneezed in my general direction? Time to give them a concussion." "Someone parked in the spot I wanted at the Wal-Mart? Time to destroy their car and make it unusable!" ...Not that I'm complaining, mind you, even the smallest, seemingly most petty of squabbles...gives me more power...

  • Okay, you want to know why I haven't used my power escape? There's....nowhere else for me to go. This is, essentially...home to me now. And, there's one another thing...I met a girl. She's a guard. I know I just went on this whole spiel about how humans are the worst, how they're pathetic little worms...but....She's the one exception to the rule. And, she actually agrees with me on all of what I've said so far. If she retires, I'm escaping to be with her wherever she goes. If she dies before she's able to retire, I'm escaping and going down to the River Styx to spend eternity with her. Spending eternity with her in the River Styx is my plan for when she dies anyway, but escaping is tacked on if she hasn't retired yet. And, these prisoners should hope that they...are not the cause of her death. There will be hurricanes of blood and body parts if they are.
