General info and story:

Enyalius, the Olympian griffin of Ares, possessed a formidable presence that commanded respect and awe. Gifted to Ares by Zeus himself, Enyalius was raised under the watchful eye of the men who served the former God of War. Through a special bond, the soul of Enyalius became intertwined with that of Ares, resulting in an unwavering loyalty that compelled him to carry out his master's every command without question.

Renowned for his immense strength and unwavering loyalty, Enyalius earned the title "King of the Griffins." His physical prowess and unyielding dedication made him a fearsome ally on the battlefield. However, the influence of Ares also manifested in his temperament, and Enyalius was known for his bloodlust, his insatiable desire for combat and destruction.
The death of Ares brought about a significant turning point in Enyalius' existence. With his master gone, Enyalius found himself without a purpose, his soul freed from the bond that had bound him to Ares. Yet, by his inherent nature, Enyalius faced a crucial choice. He could either seek vengeance upon the one responsible for Ares' demise or accept them as his new master, honoring and obeying them with unwavering loyalty. Enyalius, true to his character, chose the latter path, opting to faithfully serve the one who had taken up the mantle of God of War.
As time passed, Enyalius underwent a transformation both physically and spiritually. He acquired a more pristine appearance, shedding the signs of his former master's influence. Adorned with new God armor, a testament to his unwavering commitment to his new lord, Enyalius also gained a newfound ability, reflective of the powers and characteristics of his current master.

Though his soul now belonged to himself, no longer bound by the will of a deity, Enyalius remained a steadfast and loyal warrior. He became a great companion to the new God of War and his men, standing by their side on the battlefield with unmatched valor. Enyalius' presence inspired his allies and struck fear into the hearts of their enemies, his battle cry echoing through the chaos of war.
While his bloodlust remained a part of him, Enyalius learned to temper it, channeling his ferocity and aggression towards the enemies of his new master. He became a symbol of honor, strength, and unyielding loyalty. With each battle fought and victory achieved, he carved out his own legacy, standing tall as a symbol of power, loyalty, and the indomitable spirit of a griffin molded by the crucible of war.
