Cassius Longinus
Cassius is her cousin.

Main Character
She is one of the Main Character's love interests. When you meet her at Locusta's apothecary, you have the option of sharing a vision with her. In Chapter 8, she tells you about the goddess Nemesis and you can choose to make an offering to the goddess on behalf of Syphax. Sabina tells you that she prayed to Nemesis to free her from her marriage. You learn that she is an amateur haruspex and can interpret omens by inspecting the entrails of sacrificial animals.

Legate Aquila
Aquila is Sabina's husband, and has been away fighting in Gaul. He is an older man, whom she was married to as a political arrangement as a young girl. She doesn't want to become pregnant because having a child will give her husband more power over her, and place another innocent under his abusive influence.

Father
Sabina's father divorced her mother years ago. Under Roman law, children belong to their fathers, so her mother was not there to protect her from him. He placed her in an arranged marriage so that her new husband would give him political support.
