Quintus Fabius Maximus Rullianus
Age: 37 Background: Patrician with Consular Ancestry Archetype: Scipio Patron: Mars Rank: Ex-Praetor Marital Status: Widowed Family: Quintus (16), Fabia (15), Fabia Minor (14)
Resilience: 0 Intelligence: 0 Command: 3 Charisma: 1
Dignitas: 7 (6+1 Charisma)
Quintus is the head of the Fabii, one of the Republic’s most prestigious and traditionalist patrician families. However, the times are changing, and the Fabii must move with them or be left in the dust.
Tiberius Sempronius Gracchus
Age: 32 Background: Plebeian Novus Homo Archetype: Cicero Patron: Minerva Rank: Ex Quaestor Marital Status: Unmarried Family: Sempronia (19)
Resilience: 0 Intelligence: 2 Command: 1 Charisma: 2
Dignitas: 4 (2+2 Charisma)
Tiberius is the head of the Gracchi, a Plebeian family that within the last few generations acquired the means to enter the Senate. His father’s election to the Aedileship marked the high point of the family’s recent fortunes, and it is hoped that Tiberius can rise even higher.
Marcus Claudius Marcellus
Age: 47 Background: Plebeian Novus Homo Archetype: Camillus Patron: Venus Rank: Ex Consul Marital Status: Married to X Family: Marcus Minor (20) Claudia Marcellina (17)
Resilience: 1 Intelligence: 1 Command: 2 Charisma: 1
Dignitas: 7 (6 from offices, 1 from charisma)
Marcus hails from a Plebeian branch of the Patrician Claudii; whether they voluntarily relinquished their patrician status or were never granted such a dignity in the first place remains unknown. Whatever the case, the Claudii Marcellii have risen high in recent years, entering the Senate a few generations back and steadily climbing the ladder of offices from one Paterfamilias to the next. Indeed, Marcus was the first of his lineage to be raised to the Consulship some five years ago, and has high hopes of achieving the Curule chair again in the coming future.

Lucius Furius Camillus
Born: 376 BC (50 in 326) Background: Patrician with consular and dictatorial ancestry. Archetype: Camillus Patron: Mars Rank: Ex-Consul Marital status: widowed Familia: - Marcus Furius Camillus (son, aged 24) - Furia "the elder (daughter, aged 22) - Furia "the younger" (daughter, aged 16) Bio: Descending from Rome's "second founder", Lucius is the current head of one of the most prestigious and wealthy patrician families. As the head of such a prestigious family he believes firmly that he should keep the upcoming plebeian families in check and undo their progress from years past. Like his family, he enjoyed great military succes on the battlefield. This has only increased Lucius' beliefs that the reins of the government should remain in a select few patrician families as they have proven their mettle to the young republic. Quintus Appuleius Pansa Born: 353 BC (27 in 326) Background: Plebeian Novus Homo Archetype: Cicero Patron: Venus Rank: Military Tribune Marital status: unwed Familia: / Bio: Quintus Appeleius Pansa hails from a plebeian family that is best known for their plebeian tribunes. Their great fame came when his grandfather had Marcus Furius Camillus, the great hero of the patricians, impeached for corruption. Though no other family member could raise beyond the office of Plebeian Tribune, Pansa has set his eyes on far more ambitious posts so that he could make the political system more open for Plebeian successes.

Lucius Papirius Mugillanus
Age: 38 (born 365 BC) Background: Patrician with Consular ancestry Archetype: Romulus Patron: Mars Rank: Ex-Praetor Marital Status: Fabia Paulina Family: Lucius (4)
Resilience: +2 Intelligence: 0 Command: +2 Charisma: 0
Dignitas: +7 (6+1 from serving as magister equitum in 340 BC)
The leading member of the gens Papiria, a distinguished patrician family whose ancestors served in the highest pontifical offices at the founding of the Republic. Lucius began his career as magister equitum at the young age of 25, appointed by his cousin, the dictator Lucius Papirius Crassus during the Latin War. After entering senatorial politics, he reached the rank of Praetor in 332 BC, passing the lex Papiria de civitate Acerrranorum, granting half-citizenship to the city of Acerrare in Campania.
Lucius Livius Denter
Age: 31 (Born 358 BC) Background: Plebeian Novus Homo Archetype: Scipio Patron: Venus Rank: Ex-Quaestor Marital Status: Unwed Family: None
Resilience: 0 Intelligence: +1 Command: +2 Charisma: +2
Dignitas: +3 (1+2 Charisma)
The Livia gens were originally of Etruscan stock, one among many that settled in Rome in the early days of the Republic. Over time they would build up their networks of patrons and patronages until they stood among the more prominent plebeian families in the city. So far, though, they have been mostly unsuccessful in entering the cursus honorum. Lucius' father, Gaius, was the first with his appointment to magister equitum in 348 BC. Lucius was the second with his electoral victory last year to the quaestorship.
