Ares Guild

The Ares Guild (아레스 길드 Areseu Gildeu) is a large guild based in the United States. This guild operates worldwide, with multiple branch offices based in many countries around the world such as South Korea. They have a lot of wealth and control in the hunter world. They are an antagonistic force throughout the series.

Recruitment
The Ares Guild has a large presence in many parts of the world. The only exception appears to be in China as the up-and-coming Pado Guild is preventing them from expanding there. The Ares Guild also has large amounts of capital. Because of this, they have purposely used it to buy large swaths of Dungeon Admission Tickets, giving them total ownership of the dungeons. Non-guild members are denied entry to their dungeons and facilities and the Ares Guild have them guarded at all times.

About 66 percent of all dungeons in South Korea belong to the Ares Guild. Among then are A-rank dungeons, which are perfect for farming, and D-rank dungeons that beginners can use for training. Because of this, The Ares Guild forces beginners to either join their guild or purchase the expensive admission tickets. However, some might jump at the opportunity to join the Ares Guild as they can offer large salaries and bonuses, especially to higher ranking hunters.

Other Activities
On the surface, the Ares Guild is the leader of a rising industry that contributes a healthy amount of taxes. Some people are aware that the Ares Guild is known to hold grudges. The Ares Guild can send threats to prevent hunters from being inducted into a guild and send assassins to "silence" individuals inside of labyrinths or dungeons. There aren't usually any witnesses in there. Plus, those places are too dangerous for law enforcement to investigates, so assassinated targets have their death labeled as "accidents".
