| The second incident that harmed Ares's name came as a direct consequence of the evacuation of Chicago. Thousands of refugees sought shelter in the surrounding sprawls, Denver most notably. The native population saw the refugees less as people and more as Bug Spirit infiltrators and tensions ran high between the two groups. Violence finally erupted between the two groups, and KE opened fire on the crowd indiscriminately gunning down both sides, and forever cementing KE's reputation as heavily armed thugs for hire.

| In 2057, Damien Knight (through Ares) helped back Dunkelzahn's bid for UCAS President with funds, publicity (through Ares Global Entertainment), and lobbying. We all know how that turned out for the Big D.
| |
|
| |
| Even though Dunkelzahn was assassinated on his inauguration, Ares still managed to secure quite a few lucrative UCAS government contracts thanks to their relationship with President Haeffner. And they were even able to survive the Corp. War relatively unharmed.
| |
|
| |
| All wasn't beer and roses though. With the death of the Big D, the Gavilan Investment shares were transferred to the Big D's Voice, Nadja Daviar. That was the first thorn in Knight's side since Leonard Aurelius' bids for supremacy in the '40s. But that wasn't the only person to gain stock to oppose Knight. One Arthur Vogel also managed to scrape together quite the impressive portfolio from the Big D's will, as well purchasing Leonard Aurleius' shares in '59 . This left Knight in a weakened position on the board, but was able to stay the course despite the setbacks.
| |
|
| |
| Aurelius had jumped ship to AA Corp., Cross Applied Technologies. But Knight wasn't about to let his insubordination go unpunished. In the early moments of the Crash 2.0 in '64 Leonard's plane went down leading to his death, and within days the meaty parts of Cross had been purchased by Ares subsidiaries and shell companies. The rest was sold off for parts.
| |
|
| |
| The Cross acquisition tarnished Ares' reputation throughout the world leading Knight to reorganize around Ares World Holdings. This was met by vehement opposition from Vogel.
| |
|
| |
| Then the Draco Foundation entrusted the Gavilan shares to Nicholas "Young Nick" Aurelius in a surprise move. Now Knight had both Vogel and another Aurelius on the board to contend with. And they went into immediate action, recalling Corporate Court Rep. Paul Graves, and installed Vogel's own Michele Borden.
| |
|
| |
| With the entrance of this new player on the scene, Knight has intensified his resolve to remain in control of Ares. He's been digging into the agendas of Vogel, Young Nick and the Draco Foundation, trying to find the missing Nadja Daviar, and who Vogel's secret backers are.
| |
|
| |
| On September 5, 2074 Young Nick Aurelius is killed after jumping out of his gulf stream jet at 10000 meters. This is believed to be suicide although there is some evidence of wasp spirits near by. For a while it seemed the Aurelius legacy was removed from Ares for good.
| |
|
| |
| However, victory was short lived, as Nadja Daviar had returned to assume control of Gavilan Ventures and undo the damage Knight had done to the company and with it came Nick's father Leonard who has returned to take the throne from Knight himself
