Soldier
The soldier is the one who keeps Victus from escaping. His armor and helmet is also common to the soldier amongst many that attacked your village in Chapter 4 and Chapter 7's past memories.

Eight years ago, he was present when you and your family were brought to Rome as triumph.



Unnamed Female Servant
She is first seen in Chapter 5 and is the servant working at Rufus Glycia's estate, where his son Tribune Gnaeus Rufus was staying at. She lets Your Character and Syphax into the aforementioned estate. In Chapter 15, a similar looking servant attends to you and Cassius at a bathhouse should you choose to go there before the games. It is assumed because she doesn't recognize you from Glycia's estate, that she is a different servant than the first.

Guard (estate)
When Senator Glycia finds his son dead, he calls on his guards to cease Syphax. They lead him away from you, not allowing him to talk to you. This guard is pictured with a spear and shield and his armor has gold-colored accents and trim. He is a darker skin tone and a beard under his helmet. Similar guards protect Aquila's estate and are part of his troop in Rome.



Temple Guard

This guard is pictured with a shield and his helmet is mismatched in color to his chest plate. He has a scar crossing from the bridge of is nose diagonally across his left cheek.

In Chapter 13, a soldier with similar markings follows Legate Aquila's orders to clean up after the festival. His helmet design is different than the soldier who kept Victus from escaping.

Pompey Magnus
When the threat of Caesar marching towards Rome scares the senators, most who are against Caesar immediately make plans to join Pompey in Greece. His legion of troops outnumber Caesar's and they believe they can make a stand against Caesar with Pompey's help. This notion is ridiculed in a play as well as by the remaining senators loyal to Caesar. To Cassius' dismay, Caesar's forces defeat Pompey's at Greece and as of Chapter 16, the former is chasing the latter to Egypt.

First Spear
In your past memory with your mother, you two encounter the First Spear, leading a group of Roman scouts. Even if you attack, he seizes Delphinia and hoists her on his shoulder, but your father and brother come and he is forced to cast her aside and flee with his scouts. She hits her head on a rock and falls unconscious; your father carries her back to camp. When Victus sees him in the present time, the former attacks the latter, and can potentially kill him.



Actor
You and Marc Antony attend a vulgar and crude play, portraying the Senate's flight from Rome and Caesar. The Caesar Actor exaggerates his girth and prowess against the actors depicting Pompey and the Senators. The play shows Caesar asking why the Senate leaves Rome when they have him and all his well-endowed glory, then Caesar getting Pompey into submission on the Basilica floor.

Titan of Antioch
He is the first gladiator announced for the first game. When he wins his fight and looks to Antony, the latter gives his thumbs-down and allows him to slay his opponent. It is his thirteenth kill. In Chapter 11, he fights against Victus.

Sadalas the Thracian
He is Syphax's opponent in the games. He was undefeated in Ostia. While Syphax has a gladius, Sadalas has an axe. After Syphax injures his arm and he in turn injures Syphax's leg, Syphax emerges victorious. Luckily for both, Antony gives the thumbs-up and allows him to be spared. In Chapter 16's games, he fights against Victus. If Victus wounds him, Antony spares him. In Chapter 17, he fights Euthymios, who is forced to kill him by Antony's decree.



Marcus Brutus
If you decide to have a picnic with Cassius, he brings you to his cousin, Brutus', estate. Although you do not meet him, Cassius tells you that Brutus also opposes Caesar. In Chapter 15, if you decide to go to the bathhouse with Cassius, he tells you that Brutus survived the battle against Caesar and has been granted clemency. He is giving up the fight and coming home. Brutus has sent Cassius word that Cato and Scipio continue the resistance in Africa and want Cassius to join them.

Priestess
The Priestess leads a bull out for the great Vulcanalia festival and speaks to the gods, before sacrificing it and reading the auguries of what is shown. Antony quietly mocks her to you, and knows what she's going to say because he wrote it for her three days ago. Her character model resembles The Adder of Lykos from The Crown & The Flame series.



Plebian Man
As you ride with Antony, you notice Cassius trying to speak to the common people. They don't agree with him, as the Senate left Rome.

This plebian man has the same facial features as Tucker Paisley.



Plebian Woman
The Plebian Woman says Caesar gives them bread, to which the Plebian Man adds that he gives them games too. Antony pulls their attention away from Cassius by throwing silver at them.

Priestess of Isis
She is a young priestess in the temple of Egypt waiting for Delphinia and her acolytes. She is dressed in the regalia of Isis. Her character model is the same as Isis herself.



Cleopatra
After the priestess bids Delphinia welcome, the latter succumbs to a vision of Cleopatra giving birth and Julius Caesar at her side. When Delphinia tells the priestess what she saw, the priestess tells her that she will have to speak to Cleopatra herself as the Queen doesn't accept advice in general.
