Quantus:
On the raven/crow theme, I wouldnt go with Raven itself, just because its so overused. However, there are some ways to conjure the same image without using it directly. Any Edgar Allen Poe connection you could make would do it Nevermore. Irish mythology has a whole slew of Crow war goddesses, all tied to the The Morrígan legends, including Macha, Nemain, Badb (looks like Bad-B, a low rent DJ name :P), Fea, Anann, and others apparently. Then there are all the Huginn/ Muninn Odin connections, Native American (though most lean toward trickster over war), and a few Arthurian links. The Quran only ever mentions crows once, and it says that they taught Cain and Abel to bury the dead.
And fwiw, "there is a story that England will fall if ever the ravens abandon the Tower of London". Sounds like a fun hook to me.

Of those I like: Nathan Warr, Tommy Callan, Marcus Thane, Morgan Ramm. Ares just isnt a name that rolls off the tongue, but it could work as the meaning behind an initial nickname (think A.C. Slater, to date myself a bit) or some such. If you plan to use the crow/raven imagery too much, don't use Draven. Eric Draven was the MC of The Crow, that 90's undead avenger flick (and subsequent tv show) that got Bruce Lee's son killed.
