A senatorial Cornelius with major land holdings in Campania and a successful career as a legal orator, it's January 25 of the year of Caligula's assassination. Having narrowly survived Caligula, there are no guarantees he'll survive the transfer of power to Claudius. Secondary to survival, the unrest across the empire, especially in Judea, Egypt, and Greece has created trade issues for the safety of his cargo. On his free time, in secret, he has a deep curiosity about a strange new sect of Judaism that's filled with conflicting reports, seemingly absurd claims, and yet stubbornly resistant to being destroyed for the most nonsensical of reasons, and he can't let a good mystery go untouched. Though initially unimpressed, he strives to make sense of it, and to identify what, if any threat it poses to his interests.

GOAL & MOTIVE

Flavious Cornelius seeks to ensure personal survival during the political transition of the Roman Empire while investigating the mysterious new religious sect to protect commercial interests.

THE WORLD

Parthia is Rome's main rival. Both parties want to avoid war, but do seek to undermine each other. The recent upheaval across much of the east has many Romans worried.

CHARACTERS

HISTORY & EVENTS

Historical drift from the end of Caligula and the beginning of Claudius should be avoided, especially in regards to ancient cultures, customs, politics, diplomacy, and religion. Drift is permitted where it is the natural consequence of a fictitious character's actions. Caligula is said to have been assassinated January 24, 41AD. The story begins the day after his assassination, with the chaos afterwards playing a significant role.
