Aquila

Legate Aquila, a character in the A Courtesan of Rome book, is the man who conquered your tribe. He is first seen in Chapter 1.

Appearance
Legate Aquila has short brown hair, brown eyes, and tan skin. He wears a legate's armor consisting of a breastplate over a red tunic and a red cape attached to it.

Personality
Aquila once proudly served in General Julius Caesar's army and conquered your tribe. However, he eventually decides to testify against Caesar before the Senate in exchange for a reward. According to Marc Antony, Aquila is a brute with the political sense of a monkey. He sees no issue with breaking the law in pursuit of his goals. An example is when he illicitly ransacks the scholae and makes several unjustified arrests when he discovers your identity, under the pretense that Lena hadn't been paying taxes.

Victus
Aquila conquered his tribe and forced him to acknowledge the supremacy of Jupiter Maximus over his own gods. Aquila sold him to Lucanus Flavius's ludus eight years ago.

Main Character
Aquila conquered her tribe. Since then, she can vow to hunt him down in revenge for conquering her tribe. He doesn't recognize her after all these years. He is also attracted to her, as revealed at the end of Chapter 13. If she decides to don armor to enter the Basilica in Chapter 7, she can undermine his authority by persuading the Senators to leave him only one cohort of guards instead of the massive troop he originally wanted. In Chapter 16, you have the choice of exacting your revenge and killing him or giving documents to Antony which causes Antony to force Aquila into exile.

Cingerix
Aquila conquered his tribe. In the beginning, Aquila tried to break him. When he realized he couldn't, he sold Cingerix to the mines. He believes Cingerix is dead.

Syphax
Aquila purchases Syphax after he wins his first match as a gladiator.
