Ares

"Who of you doesn't recognise this sword? I must warn you the Mystletainn craves blood! So who wants to be its first victim?"

- Aless in Seisen no Keifu

Aless (アレス Aresu, translated Ares in fan translations) is a character from Fire Emblem: Seisen no Keifu. He is the son of Eltshan and Grahnye, and is the inheritor of the Demon Sword Mystletainn. In the events of the game, Aless is stationed at Darna alongside Leen/Laylea, working under Jabarro's band of mercenaries.

When Celice's liberation army passes through the border, Aless leaves to fight with Jabarro. Jabarro confesses that Bramsel, the lord of Darna, has imprisoned Leen and urges him to forget about her. Aless, enraged, turns against Jabarro, despite the latter having raised him after Grahnye's death. In order to save Leen, Aless decided to join Celice's army, albeit reluctantly, as he believes that his father was murdered by Siglud. He will later learn of the truth behind his father's death upon meeting Nanna, who explains that Siglud was not responsible for Eltshan's death, and was instead framed for it.

Overall
Aless is one of the most overpowered characters in the game, which is a rather fitting role for the son of Eltshan. He starts out with the Mystletainn, a formidable weapon that bestows its user with the skill Critical, essentially allowing Aless to just about wreck havoc upon the battlefield. The Mystletainn also gives him a huge +20 boost to Skill, and a +10 boost to Resistance, which further enhances his usefulness as a unit. His Resistance growths are strangely high for a non-magic user, which are, however, highly desired in light of the skirmishes undertaken in Generation 2.

Conversations
In Chapter 7, Aless may speak to Celice, but nothing will result of it.

In Chapter 8, after Conote is captured, Nanna may speak to Aless, resulting in her gaining two points of Strength and two points of Defense.

In the Final Chapter, if Nanna is in love with Aless, Nanna may speak to him, and he will gain three points of Defense.

Love Growths
Original and replacement characters have the same love growths unless stated otherwise.
