	In 47 BCE, Cassius was recruited by [[Amunet\|Aya]] into the [[Assassins\|Hidden Ones]], alongside Brutus. Intending to combat the [[Order of the Ancients]] in [[Rome]], they regrouped in the hideout below the [[Library of Alexandria]] to make preparations.

	On 14 March 44 BCE, Cassius met his fellow ''Liberatores'' underneath Rome, telling them that their plan to stop Caesar's ascension had failed.

	Three hours after Caesar's assassination, the people of Rome began to riot, with [[Marcus Antonius\|Mark Antony]] stoking the flames of rebellion. Cassius and Brutus fled to the aqueduct supply storage and later had an unconscious and injured Aya brought there too.

	On 14 March 44 BCE, Cassius met his fellow Liberatores underneath Rome, telling them that their plan to stop Caesar's ascension had failed.
