Based on the events of the 2017 Wonder Woman film, the answer is yes, Ares knew about Chief Napi, both as a member of Steve Trevor’s team and potentially as a fellow supernatural being.
Here are the specific details:
Ares spent most of the movie disguised as Sir Patrick Morgan, a high-ranking British politician and peace advocate. In this persona, he met the entire team in London. When Steve Trevor and Diana presented the notebook to the military council, Sir Patrick was the one who pulled them aside afterward. He secretly funded their mission and gave them the "off-the-books" authorization to travel to the front lines. Because he was the benefactor of the mission, he was fully aware of everyone Steve Trevor recruited, including Chief Napi.
Ares’s goal was to guide Diana to the front so she could witness the "true nature" of humanity and eventually kill General Ludendorff (whom she mistakenly believed was Ares). Throughout the journey, Ares was essentially "shadowing" the group to ensure Diana reached her destination. Since Napi was one of the three primary companions (alongside Sameer and Charlie) escorting the "Godkiller," Ares would have been watching him closely.
In the film, there is a specific scene where Chief Napi and Diana speak privately. Diana recognizes his name as belonging to a Blackfoot creator/trickster deity. Napi acknowledges this with a knowing look and a brief explanation, implying that he is more than just a human tracker.
While the movie does not feature a direct conversation between Ares and Napi about their shared divinity, the narrative logic implies Ares knew:
During the climax at the airfield, Ares (now in his full armor) is fighting Diana while Chief, Sameer, and Charlie are working to destroy the gas-filled plane. While Ares focuses his physical attacks on Diana, he is aware of the "mortals" helping her. He views them as examples of why humanity is unworthy, using their violence and presence to try and corrupt Diana’s view of the world.
Summary: Ares knew Napi logistically as a mercenary he was secretly funding, and he almost certainly knew Napi’s true identity as a supernatural being because of his own status as a god and his observation of Diana’s companions.
The summary incorrectly places Chief in London for a meeting with Sir Patrick. Chief was recruited in Belgium.
The summary fails to note that Ares and Chief never interact or speak to each other, making the claim of 'knowledge' purely speculative.
In Wonder Woman (2017), there is no evidence that Ares (Sir Patrick Morgan) knew about Chief Napi's true identity as a demigod. While Ares funded the mission, he did not meet the team in London (Chief was recruited later in Belgium) and he does not acknowledge Napi during the final battle. However, it is true that Chief is the Blackfoot demigod Napi; this is confirmed by actor Eugene Brave Rock and unsubtitled dialogue where he introduces himself to Diana.
