Councilor Leander Marius

Leander is a member of the Plebeian Council with plebeian blood and holds a single major estate. He hoped to increase his family’s holdings by marrying his lifelong lover, Cleoana Gentrialti, who was also from a wealthy family. However, after Cleoana and Leander were caught sneaking off together, her father quickly married her to a Carthaginian envoy, Carthalo. This enraged Leander. A few weeks after Cleoana left for Carthage with Carthalo, her father was accused of high treason in a plot to usurp the Republic. He was devoured by three lions in the Colosseum paid for fully by Leander Marius. Marius has antagonized Carthage whenever he could, hoping to provoke war to kill Carthalo and retake his precious Cleona. However, his passion for her made him an adamant protestor of any invasion of the city itself, fearing for her safety
