-Jerome- Vixy PMV
Ares has a bigger participation in this PMV.

At the end, Ares kill Vixy.

-It's All So Incredibly Loud- TSH Prequel PMV
Ares appears several times throughout this PMV He appears in the very beginning glaring at his Aunt's (Rose's) dead body, blood on his mouth. It's apparent that he has just murdered her, and his curse is active. The shot of him parallels his aunt's murder of King Romulus.

Later in the PMV Ares is seen rushing towards his mother's (Lydia's) dead body with his twin sister, Kaylee, both clearly in distress. They nuzzle her anxiously as their father (Maxwell) and their aunt argue. Their dead mother's spirit sadly stands above them. Rose looks down at a distressed baby Ares, and the reflection of him in her eyes turns into him with blood caking his mouth and paws, foreshadowing his life story.

In a flashback sequence, we see Lydia nursing Ares and Kaylee. They are only a couple of days old. Maxwell arrives and smiles at his newborns.

After finding out his wife has betrayed him, Maxwell storms into their bedroom and looks for Lydia in the crib, only to find Ares and Kaylee sleeping.

Ares and Kaylee watch in horror/sadness as their father obtains the curse.

As Rose descends into grief-stricken madness, Romulus transforms into Maxwell, and then into Ares to foreshadow the line of villainy and the progression of the curse through each generation.

The PMV ends back at the first shot, with Ares standing over Rose's dead body.
