Mars was the son of Jupiter and Juno. Nobody liked him much, not the gods and not the mortals. 

Mars was tall and handsome, and  mean and self-centered. His sidekick, Discordia, the spirit of disagreement, traveled everywhere with him. They carried four lesser spirits along as well - the spirits of Pain, Panic, Famine, and Oblivion. 

In Roman mythology, Mars did not care who won or lost a battle. He just liked to see bloodshed.  Most of the other gods stayed as far away from Mars as possible. He only caused trouble.
