• 
  
  Ares was born into an enclave which was left behind after the defeat of the Eternal Empire and even later, after the end of the Order of Zildrog. House Atrius was not a noble house by blood, but by ideology and spiritual heritage. The remnants of Zakuul were roaming the galaxy and sticking to themselves. Ares was born to a family of original Zakuulans and was Force sensitive and therefore introduced into the traditions and philosophy of the Knights of Zakuul.
  
  The training of the Knights had become ever more intensive since the Fall. Their strength had always been their unity, their cohesion and their numbers and they improved on that, honing the skills both required to win a battle as well as to maintain and enforce justice. Ares quickly rose as a masterful combatant with pike and shield, making him a Knight-Captain real quick. The enclave had participated in the fighting of the Sith in the long New Sith Wars, from time to time utilizing their swiftness to strike at the marauders and warmongers of the Dark Side.
  
  Ares gained renown during the conflict and his reputation and skills earned him a place in Project Exarch. Some of the scientists who had served Arcann, escaped the fall and were recruited by Vinn Atrius, their knowledge preserved in the Holocron of Zakuul , the object which the entire way of life for the enclave was based around. Surviving the extreme procedures, Ares became one of the leaders of their small empire. Zakuul was not their home anymore, but they moved to another place they had to tame, they had re-acquired it decades after the Fall and the war to conquer and annex it took very long and a heavy death toll, but in the end, Iokath was theirs.
  
  As Exarch Ares entered a long tradition of ruling a part of the enclave with strong changes to the setting. The Sith were gone, the Jedi dominant but chained by the Republic. Instead of attempting to keep fighting, they enclave leadership decided to pursue a path to strength and patience. Under Ares initiative a great project begun to invite citizens from all over the Galaxy, but especially Zakuul, to Iokath, to populate it. Not a public transmission, but a careful recruiting campaign which saw the Knights roam the galaxy undercover to find people who wished to live in order, prosperity and progress.
  
  House Atrius was the informal leader of the enclave, its members appointed by merit. Through his population campaign, Ares had earned trust and support among his people and was formally selected to serve his first term as the Praetor, the military supreme commander. He would keep Iokath a secret and everyone finding the system by accident would be offered to join the society without chance to leave or to perish. This led to the first war being fought, the one against the Yuuzahn Vong.
  
  In the centuries that follow, Ares and his fellow Knights were roaming the Galaxy, both to promote disdain against Sith and Jedi, to support the people and to further recruit Force sensitives for their cause. When another incarnation of a Sith Empire came very close to rule the area which was near Iokath, constant readiness for combat was issued. This was some years after the Gulag Plague had scorched the entire galaxy. Iokath was well armed and protected, but did not do anything to prevent the Sith. They were not willing to sacrifice their people in a war against self-destructive Sith. Ares was advocating the strategy, there was no need to overcome those who would overcome themselves.
  
  He was fighting the Sith in many instances as part of a campaign of concealed sorties to disrupt their supply lines. The launch of the New Imperial Order was a relief but also a reason for rethinking. Was it worth allying with them? Ares and the other Exarchs had to consider what to do next.
• Ares is an enforcer of justice, a true Knight of Zakuul, even though he never lived there or valued the place more than what it was. He was emotionally attached to the values, the principles and goals represented by the Knights, but not its birthplace. He is a calculating individual, very strong and strict in his beliefs and his aim towards progress. But he never lost his humanity, he is a friendly and comradely individual, possessing a good empathy. Ares does not hesitate to sacrifice, he does not hesitate to kill and support his ideology. He has a deep routed hatred for both the Jedi and the Sith and their blind, opposing dogmas and believes that the people of the Galaxy deserve better than being drawn into constant wars between Light and Dark. As part of his Zakuulan origin and the life on Iokath, he is a strong believer in the old Zakuulan Pantheon, Aivela and Tyth being his chosen deities.
