“Old age isn't so bad when you consider the alternatives."”
- Cato the Elder
Marcus Caelius Rufus (Rufus)
Senator
(
Populares Faction)
A wealthy man, you have courted high and powerful friends. You bedded the sister of Publius Clodius Pulcher. It was fun for a while, but soon the affair soured. That vindictive wench then had the temerity to bring suit against you on trumped up charges! Fortunately, your connections brought the powerful Marcus Licinius Crassus and the influential Marcus Tullius Cicero to your aid. With their help, you were acquitted, and have continued to live out your life of luxury and privilege.

“Force without wisdom falls of its own weight.”
- Quintus Horatius Flaccus
Quintus Valerius Orca (Orca)
Senator
(
Populares Faction)
A prosperous Roman Senator, you have achieved great success in life. You were Praetor in 57 BC and governor of Africa in 56 BC. Despite your close friendship with Marcus Tullius Cicero, you have always been a die-hard Populares. Your father was a supporter of Gaius Marius and was murdered during Lucius Cornelius Sulla’s proscriptions. Caesar is clearly the political successor of his uncle Marius, and as such if you are going to abandon the Republic and take sides, it is to him that your loyalties will fall.
Victory Conditions:
(1) Eliminate all Caesarians and Pompeians. You will be victorious even if you are dead if this goal is met.
OR
(2) Survive and eliminate all Optimates Faction Members, including Pompeians.
Role Description:
Night Actions:
(1) With 1 other Senator, you can investigate one player per night. Successful investigations will show the target's faction.
(2) With 2 other Senators, you can attempt to protect one player per night. Any player you protect will be very difficult to kill that night.
(3) With 3 other Senators, you can attempt to kill one player per night.
Special Ability:
(1)
Manumission: You have several slaves in your household. For years now, you have been training one of them as a gladiator to fight for your profit. This man has become a deadly weapon, and in this time of crisis, he is a weapon that may be worth using. In return for his freedom, he will attempt to assassinate anyone you wish.
You can attempt to kill another player by yourself one time.
-------------------------------------------
“The rule of friendship means there should be mutual sympathy between them, each supplying what the other lacks and trying to benefit the other, always using friendly and sincere words.”
- Marcus Tullius Cicero
Marcus Aemilius Lepidus (Lepidus)
Senator
(
Populares Faction)
Your father was a controversial man, in the best traditions of Rome. He supported Lucius Cornelius Sulla while he was Dictator, but quickly turned on him once he retired from public life and dedicated himself to the Populares cause. His consulship was… eventful… to put it kindly, but the children of powerful exiles are still the children of powerful men.
Both you and your brother, Lucius Aemilius Lepidus Paullus, have followed in your father’s footsteps as supporters of the Populares. In your case, you served Gaius Julius Caesar during the Gallic Wars, and have recently secured the coveted title of Praetor. Despite this rank and the traditional benefits that go with it, your true strength lies in cooperation with your brother. In times of crisis like these, you are one of the few men in Rome who knows that he has an ally he can rely upon. Your odds of emerging from this political storm are surely far greater if you work together.
Victory Conditions:
(1) Eliminate all Caesarians and Pompeians. You will be victorious even if you are dead if this goal is met.
OR
(2) Survive and eliminate all Optimates Faction Members, including Pompeians.
Role Description:
Night Actions:
(1) With 1 other Senator, you can investigate one player per night. Successful investigations will show the target's faction.
(2) With 2 other Senators, you can attempt to protect one player per night. Any player you protect will be very difficult to kill that night.
(3) With 3 other Senators, you can attempt to kill one player per night.
Special Ability:
(1)
Amicitia: Over the years, you have developed a very close friendship with another Senator. You share a strong bond and are truly
amici in the finest traditions of Roman society. You know that this Senator holds the same political beliefs as you and you are confident that if you work together, you will both have a better chance of surviving this crisis, regardless of the course that you chart through it.
You know the identity of another Populares Faction Senator, and he knows yours. That Senator is your brother,
Lucius Aemilius Lepidus Paullus (Paullus) –
Iskander 3.1.

“Think to yourself that every day is your last; the hour to which you do not look forward will come as a welcome surprise.”
- Quintus Horatius Flaccus
Lucius Munatius Plancus (Plancus)
Senator
(
Populares Faction)
You served in Caesar’s legions well and ably during the Gallic Wars. A veteran of glorious combat with powerful friends in the Senate, it was only a matter of time before you became a Senator yourself. With you long-standing friendship with both Gaius Julius Caesar and Marcus Antonius, your allegiance to the Populares has never been in question. However, you are a flexible man and know that loyalties can change over time, given the right circumstances. You are free to support the Caesarians or the Republic as you see fit.
Victory Conditions:
(1) Eliminate all Caesarians and Pompeians. You will be victorious even if you are dead if this goal is met.
OR
(2) Survive and eliminate all Optimates Faction Members, including Pompeians.

“Once a word has been allowed to escape, it cannot be recalled.”
- Quintus Horatius Flaccus
Publius Vatinius (Vatinius)
Senator
(
Populares Faction)
You have had a long and… interesting political career. Quaestor in 63 BC, Tribune in 59 BC, and Praetor in 55 BC. The last was secured due to the support of no lesser men than Gnaeus Pompeius Magnus and Marcus Licinius Crassus, and you defeated Marcus Porcius Cato Uticensis to boot! Early on, you sold your loyalty to Gaius Julius Caesar and have strongly supported him and the Populares ever since. However, your cursus honorum is not yet complete; you still desire the Consulship. Perhaps the Caesarians can give this to you, but perhaps the Republic can as well. Your options remain open.
Victory Conditions:
(1) Eliminate all Caesarians and Pompeians. You will be victorious even if you are dead if this goal is met.
OR
(2) Survive and eliminate all Optimates Faction Members, including Pompeians.
Role Description:
Night Actions:
(1) With 1 other Senator, you can investigate one player per night. Successful investigations will show the target's faction.

(3) With 3 other Senators, you can attempt to kill one player per night.
Special Ability:
(1)
Gravitas: Through your personal actions and service to his cause, you have earned the trust and respect of Gaius Julius Caesar. You know people, who know people, who know people. Even though he is in hiding, if you wish to communicate with Caesar, your connections make it possible.
You may send an anonymous message to Gaius Julius Caesar twice during the game. To do this, send a PM to
TinCow. The message will be forwarded to Caesar
exactly as you have written it, but with your identity removed from the QUOTE section. If Caesar wishes to respond, he can do so with a single message in the exact same fashion.

He supported Lucius Cornelius Sulla while he was Dictator, but quickly turned on him once he retired from public life and dedicated himself to the Populares cause. His consulship was… eventful… to put it kindly, but the children of powerful exiles are still the children of powerful men.
Both you and your brother, Marcus Aemilius Lepidus, have followed in your father’s footsteps as supporters of the Populares. In your case, you have followed the cursus honorum, as Quaestor in 59 BC, Aedile in 55 BC, Praetor in 53 BC, and finally as Consul in 50 BC. You owe Gaius Julius Caesar a great deal, but your experience and titles allow you the freedom to lend your strong support to the Republic, if you so choose. In addition, despite your high prestige, your true strength lies in cooperation with your brother. In times of crisis like these, you are one of the few men in Rome who knows that he has an ally he can rely upon. Your odds of emerging from this political storm are surely far greater if you work together.
Victory Conditions:

You know the identity of another Populares Faction Senator, and he knows yours. That Senator is your brother,
Marcus Aemilius Lepidus (Lepidus) –
johnhughthom.
-------------------------------------------
Though less famous than your cousin, Marcus Junius Brutus, you have milked your ancient and revered gens Junius name for all it is worth. It has served you well. You were able to secure a commission as Legate under another one of your cousins, Gaius Julius Caesar, during the Gallic Wars. This opened many doors to you, and your skill in warfare brought great benefits from Caesar and the Populares who follow him. In this time of crisis, it would be wise to use these benefits to aide whichever cause you decide to follow.
Victory Conditions:
(1) Eliminate all Caesarians and Pompeians. You will be victorious even if you are dead if this goal is met.
OR
(2) Survive and eliminate all Optimates Faction Members, including Pompeians.

(3) With 3 other Senators, you can attempt to kill one player per night.
Special Ability:
(1)
Clientela: As a prominent Senator, you have spent a lifetime cultivating an expansive web of connections. All over Rome, men both high and low owe you great obligations. In this time of crisis, you have decided to call in one of your most valuable favors. One of your clients is well-placed inside the household of another Senator, and he will provide you with information.
You may investigate alone once. The investigation will show the target's faction and whether the target was active, though not what they were doing.
-------------------------------------------
“Better be ignorant of a matter than half know it.”
- Publilius Syrus
Gaius Asinius Pollio (Pollio)
Senator
(
Populares Faction)
You are an intelligent young Senator with a promising future. Few men in Rome are as intelligent, witty, and talented as you, but many are more experienced. Your inherent abilities have brought your great success and prosperity that is unusual in a man of your youth, but you know that you can accomplish far, far more. However, you must first survive this political cataclysm before you can demonstrate your true value to the Roman people. Perhaps it would be a good time to call in some of those favors you have accumulated with your recent successes…
Victory Conditions:
(1) Eliminate all Caesarians and Pompeians. You will be victorious even if you are dead if this goal is met.
OR
(2) Survive and eliminate all Optimates Faction Members, including Pompeians.
Role Description:
Night Actions:

Publius Cornelius Dolabella (Dolabella)
Senator
(
Populares Faction)
Your relatively young life has been… eventful, to say the least. Only a year ago, you managed to secure a marriage with no lesser woman than Tullia, daughter of the famous Marcus Tullius Cicero. The match was not a perfect one and you are already quarrelling bitterly with her and her cantankerous father. Even so, a union with the daughter of Cicero has its benefits, and one of them is wealth. You have wavered in your support of the two potential Dictators for some time now, but recent quarrels with your father-in-law have essentially alienated you from the Optimates cause. At least the old Consul’s wealth can be put to use in your aid, even if he and his daughter are nothing more than annoyances!
Victory Conditions:
(1) Eliminate all Caesarians and Pompeians. You will be victorious even if you are dead if this goal is met.
OR
(2) Survive and eliminate all Optimates Faction Members, including Pompeians.
Role Description:
Night Actions:

“It is a bad plan that admits of no modification.”

Titus Labienus (Labienus)
Senator
(
Populares Faction)
Some men cower before Gaius Julius Caesar, but you are not amongst them. Caesar may have taken credit for the victories in the Gallic Wars, but you know in your heart that a great deal of the success was due to your efforts alone. Your victories and accomplishments are many, and those who know you celebrate your military skill as equal to that of Caesar and Pompey.
Now that your commander, Caesar, has done the unthinkable, you find yourself at a crossroads. Your long service to the favorite of the Populares will allow you to follow Caesar to further victories without question. Yet, your skill in arms and reputation for upholding the best in Roman values has endeared you to the Optimates. Should you wish it, you could cross over to them at any time. Then again, you could also aid the dying Republic. There are few in Rome who possess your unique political flexibility, and it will allow you the freedom to chart your own course, going wherever the winds of fortune take you.
Victory Conditions:
(1) Eliminate all Caesarians and Pompeians. You will be victorious even if you are dead if this goal is met.
OR
(2) Survive and eliminate all Optimates Faction Members, including Pompeians.
Role Description:
Night Actions:
(1) With 1 other Senator, you can investigate one player per night. Successful investigations will show the target's faction.
(2) With 2 other Senators, you can attempt to protect one player per night. Any player you protect will be very difficult to kill that night.
(3) With 3 other Senators, you can attempt to kill one player per night.
Special Ability:
(1)
Damnatio Memoriae: Despite your long-standing ties to the Populares, there has always been a part of you that has sympathized with the ideals of the Optimates. Unlike most Senators, you are capable of crossing over to the other side and convincing them that the shift was sincere. Of course, such an action would only be believable once.
You can switch your allegiance to the Optimates at any time, but you cannot switch back. This will permanently change your role and victory conditions to those of an Optimates Senator.

“He who spares the wicked injures the good.”
- Lucius Annaeus Seneca
Quintus Cassius Longinus (Longinus)
Senator
(
Populares Faction)
Brothers often disagree on issues, but few on one as important as that which divides you and Gaius Cassius Longinus (Cassius). You have had parallel careers in many regards. You started the cursus honorum in 54 BC as Quaestor, while your brother began as 53 BC as Quaestor. You spent a great deal of time in the western province of Hispania Ulterior, while your brother spent his time in the eastern province of Syria. As the year 49 BC begins, you are both once again in Rome, and have both been elected as Tribunes of the Plebs. Yet despite your parallel lives, there is one key difference. Cassius has thrown in his lot with Pompey and the Optimates, while you have chosen to back Caesar and the Populares. You expect great personal rewards from Caesar for your loyalty to his cause. The only question remains whether you shall survive long enough to profit from it.
Victory Conditions:
(1) Eliminate all Caesarians and Pompeians. You will be victorious even if you are dead if this goal is met.
OR
(2) Survive and eliminate all Optimates Faction Members, including Pompeians.
Role Description:
Night Actions:
(1) With 1 other Senator, you can investigate one player per night. Successful investigations will show the target's faction.
(2) With 2 other Senators, you can attempt to protect one player per night. Any player you protect will be very difficult to kill that night.

You can attempt to kill another player by yourself one time.
-------------------------------------------
Few can boast of being friends with the preeminent Marcus Tullius Cicero (Cicero), but you count yourself in that elite group. The two of you studied rhetoric together when you were students. You quickly found yourself outmatched by the great orator, but found your own calling in the law. Cicero is a legendary lawyer himself, but he publicly proclaims you as his superior in that aspect of the verbal arts. Your success in law and your keen mind has served you will in Rome, eventually elevating you to the supreme position of Consul in 51 BC. As the Civil War breaks over Rome, you waver between support of Caesar and support of the Republic. Whichever side you finally decide to back will be greatly served by your legal talents.
Victory Conditions:
(1) Eliminate all Caesarians and Pompeians. You will be victorious even if you are dead if this goal is met.
OR
(2) Survive and eliminate all Optimates Faction Members, including Pompeians.
