TNGF

SELECTED

Julius Caesar

primary

A tall, lean man in his mid-50s with sharp, patrician features and piercing dark eyes. His hair is thinning and combed forward in the traditional Roman style, with a prominent widow's peak. His face bears the marks of age and campaigns, with deep lines around his mouth and eyes. He moves with the confidence of a military commander despite his slight limp from an old war injury.

Marcus Brutus

primary

A lean, middle-aged Roman senator with sharp, angular features and deep-set, thoughtful eyes. His dark hair is receding slightly, and his face bears the marks of a man who has spent much time in contemplation. His hands are those of a scholar rather than a soldier, though they now grip a dagger with surprising firmness.

Gaius Cassius Longinus

secondary

A lean and wiry man in his early 40s with sharp, angular features. His dark eyes are intense and calculating, framed by a furrowed brow that suggests constant vigilance. His short-cropped hair and neatly trimmed beard reflect Roman senatorial fashion, though his complexion is slightly sallow from years of military campaigning.

Senator

background

A middle-aged Roman senator with a lean but dignified build, his face lined with the cares of political life. His dark hair is streaked with gray, combed back in the traditional Roman style, and his sharp eyes dart nervously around the room.

Guard

background

A middle-aged Roman guard with a muscular build, standing approximately 5'8" tall. His face is weathered from years of service, with a short-cropped beard and a scar running across his left cheek. His dark brown eyes are alert, scanning the room for any signs of danger.

Dialog

Julius Caesar What new business do you bring before the Senate today, my friends? Speak freely, for Rome listens.

Gaius Cassius Longinus The business of liberty, Dictator. The mos maiorum demands it.

Julius Caesar Cassius? What madness is this?

Marcus Brutus Not madness, Caesar. Necessity. Sic semper tyrannis.

Julius Caesar Et tu, Brute? Then fall, Caesar!

Gaius Cassius Longinus The deed is done. Now sound the cry through Rome - the tyrant is dead!

Marcus Brutus Let us be sacrificers, but not butchers. We strike for Rome's salvation, not for bloodlust.
