Ares is an underground fighter for the Vellek family in Greece and a known champion.

Events of The Last Ship[]

Commander Stavros Diomedes found him in Agios Nikolaos, gave him the name Ares, and brought him to Giorgio Vellek's house to fight with some of Giorgio's prized fighters. Ares beats Giorgio's first fighter Moose and, while putting up a good fight, loses to Giorgio's second fighter Hercules and Hercules savagely beats him afterwards. (“The Pillars of Hercules”)

He is later drugged by Dr. Paul Vellek to the point where he could not put up a fight and there were others like him. Vellek recorded Ares being slapped by him and not doing anything, being completely passive. (“Feast”)

Ares is sent to a prison with the other fighters Vellek experimented on guarded by Hellenic Navy soldiers. Ares is approached by man who says he is a friend of Tom Chandler, whom Ares knows as "Hercules". Ares asks if Chandler is like him and the man, Green, says he isn't and Ares is grateful for that and Green tries to get information on him before they are interrupted by the guards who escort them to the cafeteria. When they sit down, Ares asks Green why he is following him and Green explains he wants information, starting with how long the drugs they give him last.

Ares says he doesn't know and wishes he could fight back but he can't. When asked how many times he was injected, Ares says they only injected him once and the rest of the time the drug is the food. When the alarms sounds, Green tries to take Ares with them, offering his freedom, but he refused, choosing to stay behind to buy them some time to escape. Though Ares was unable to fight, he stood in the doorway to block the Hellenic Navy soldiers and was shot dead. (“Lazaretto”)
