	By 44 BCE, Septimius had become a member of Caesar's inner circle. That year, however, his influence over the {{Wiki\|Roman Senate}} was about to be challenged by Aya and her fellow Hidden Ones [[Marcus Junius Brutus]] and [[Gaius Cassius Longinus]], both members of the Senate. On 15 March, Caesar was preparing to officially become the undisputed ruler of Rome, and Septimius accompanied him to his meeting with the Senate.<ref name="Fall of an Empire, Rise of Another">''Assassin's Creed: Origins'' – [[Fall of an Empire, Rise of Another]]</ref>		By 44 BCE, Septimius had become a member of Caesar's inner circle.

	At the [[Theatre of Pompey]], Septimius spoke with Caesar shortly before the Senate hearing, telling Caesar that he was a beloved ruler and a god. ~~Though~~ Caesar believed the Senate would oppose him, Septimius promised to be Caesar's "wolf" in "that parliament of clucking hens". As Caesar left to prepare for the hearing, Septimius spotted Aya, Brutus, and Cassius observing them from across the theatre. He jumped into the central arena below to challenge Aya while Brutus and Cassius went to delay Caesar before the Hidden Ones [[Assassination of Julius Caesar\|assassinated]] him.<ref name="Fall of an Empire, Rise of Another" />		At the [[Theatre of Pompey]], Septimius spoke with Caesar shortly before the Senate hearing, telling Caesar that he was a beloved ruler and a god.

	Aya swiftly ~~killed~~ Septimius' guards and dueled him. As the two fought, Septimius claimed that Caesar was the [[Father of Understanding]], taunted Aya over Khemu's death, and suggested that she flee or submit to Caesar and the Order of the Ancients.

	Although Septimius was formidably armed and heavily armored, Aya was nimbler in her light armor and eventually struck a fatal blow, saying that he would die as vengeance for Khemu. Septimius revealed that the Alexander's Staff of Eden was in the hands of the Order, and claimed that he would ascend to the afterlife to drink and whore with his fellow soldiers there. Aya countered him, declaring that he, the Order, and the Gabiniani would be forgotten, after which she slit his throat.<ref name="Fall of an Empire, Rise of Another" />		Although Septimius was formidably armed and heavily armored, Aya was nimbler in her light armor and eventually struck a fatal blow, saying that he would die as vengeance for Khemu.

	By 44 BCE, Septimius had become a member of Caesar's inner circle.

	At the [[Theatre of Pompey]], Septimius spoke with Caesar shortly before the Senate hearing, telling Caesar that he was a beloved ruler and a god.
