Cleopatra VII Thea Philopator
Ethnicity: Greek
Born: Alexandria, Egypt
Age: 19
Sex: Female
Cleopatra was raised as royalty from birth, becoming one of the most intelligent and educated women of her time—speaking nine languages by the time she was 20. At the young age of 18, she ascended to Egypt’s throne following the sudden death of her father, Ptolemy XII—a position that she must share with her younger brother Ptolemy XIII.
As a shrewd politician and extremely charming temptress, she has the unsettling ability to persuade almost any opponent into coming around to her point of view. Cleopatra was the last in a long line of Ptolomaic rulers.
Ptolemy XIII Theos Philopator
Ethnicity: Greek
Born: Alexandria, Egypt
Age: 12
Sex: M
While Cleopatra is a woman assured of her power and skill, her younger brother Ptolemy is a curious and wide eyed boy who believes everything his elders tell him. He is a mere pawn in an international game, the rules of which he does not understand. He is by turns curious and petulant, wide-eyed and fussy. He does not seem to understand the full weight of the position he is in as King, and tends to focus on petty details rather than the big picture.
Gaius Julius Caesar
Ethnicity: Roman
Born: Roman Republic
Age: 52
Sex: Male
Caesar was an impossibly ambitious man, and often checked his own successes against the accomplishments against those of the Alexander the Great. Yet he always found himself falling short of that great man’s triumphs, a source of great bitterness. This ingrained insecurity was the engine that propelled him through his greatest military and political battles.
In person he had the charm of a successful entrepreneur—focused, engaged, and never frivolous. He was intelligent without being pedantic, and his vast knowledge of the world and his experience as a priest, a soldier, and a Roman consul gave him an advantage in all political and military affairs. In the field he was a serious man with the weight of his immense legacy always on his shoulders.
