Senator Fido Emidius

Fido is a member of the Senate with plebeian blood, and holds multiple estates. Known as new money on the rise, the young and ambitious Fido is considered a hero to the plebeians. He is heavily invested in the infrastructure of Rome and was the major financial backer of the Flaminian Way in 220 BCE commissioned by Censor Daius Flaminius, a major project that Fido Emidius specifically beat Luca Severus out of. Besides these works, the two worked together to establish several bathhouses across the city of Rome, though Fido stole the credit. Additionally, Fido has worked on projects with the likes of Hector Basilius, a fellow plebeian and personal friend of his. He has been known to run several gambling dens, each less savory than the last, the taxes from which have been misplaced from time to time. It also has been whispered that Fido worships a foreign god from Persia; this would be complete blasphemy, if only it were true, of course.
