I first stumbled across The Org, after reading the whole 'Masters of Rome' series by Colleen McCollugh. I assumed that all the well known characters that I liked would already be taken (Sulla, Agrippa, Caesar, Clodius, Octavian) and so went with my favourite minor character, Gaius Scribonius Curio the younger. I also like the description of his character and the way he comes across in the book 'Caesar'.

If anybody's interested he was a friend of Mark Antony and Clodius, who became a Tribune of the Plebs, and prevented the Senate from stripping Caesar of his command, in an attempt to stop the Civil War. In the end he failed and joined Caesar. Dispatched to conquer Sicily and Africa, he succeeded at the first, and was initially successful in the second. He was lured into an ambush and was killed.
