Senator Gaius Cotta

Gaius is a member of the Senate with patrician blood and holds a single minor estate. As member of the Auspicium, the holy order of speakers to the gods, his is the voice of Neptune, god of earthquakes and the seas. His position in the Auspicium gives him great influence, as Roman citizens place the same importance on his words as they would on the words of Neptune himself, and follow his advice as to what activities the gods will look upon with favor. In spite of his successful religious background, Gaius is notoriously unwise with his personal finances, earning him large debts and gambling loans, and has been accused of accepting bribes in the past.
