			==Behind the scenes==
			Marcus Antonius is a historical figure and character who was mentioned several times throughout the ''[[Assassin's Creed (series)\|Assassin's Creed]]'' franchise before making his physical debut in ''[[Assassin's Creed: Origins (comic)\|Assassin's Creed: Origins]]'', the 2018 comic miniseries serving as a sequel to the [[Assassin's Creed: Origins\|game of the same name]].

			In ''[[Legacy of the Brotherhood]]'', the second of three books comprising the ''[[Assassin's Creed Roleplaying Game]]'', the memory "[[Echoes of Betrayal]]" has Antonius faking his death and being killed by the Hidden Ones shortly after Cleopatra's suicide. While this series of events does not outright contradict the 2018 comic, the memory describes Antonius as a "servant of the [[Order of the Ancients]]", implying Antonius was a member of the Order. However, in the comic Antonius is never shown to be aware of the Order's existence, and he only opposed the Hidden Ones because of their assassination of Caesar. Furthermore, Antonius' opposition to Octavian, who became the Order's leader, makes it impossible for him to have been affiliated with the group, though it is still possible the Order somehow influenced him without his knowledge.

	Antonius later entered a romantic relationship with the last [[pharaoh]] of [[Egypt]], [[Cleopatra]], but this ostracized him from his fellow Romans. Fueled by disagreements with Antonius over possession of Caesar's [[Sword of Damokles]], Octavian seized the opportunity to increase his own political power and led his army to [[War of Actium\|fight]] against those of Antonius and Cleopatra, the last remaining opposition to his complete control over the [[Roman Republic]]. Faced with certain defeat, Antonius faked his death and attempted to escape with Cleopatra's and Caesar's son [[Caesarion]] and the Sword of Damokles to [[India]], but was ultimately killed by the Hidden Ones under [[Amunet]].<ref name="Echoes"/>		Antonius later entered a romantic relationship with the last [[pharaoh]] of [[Egypt]], [[Cleopatra]], but this ostracized him from his fellow Romans.

	A few days later, Antonius was present at the [[Theatre of Pompey]] to witness the [[Assassination of Julius Caesar\|assassination of Caesar]]. Meeting with Aya again, he warned her that [[Marcus Junius Brutus\|Brutus]] had seriously miscalculated the consequences of Caesar's death. He claimed that the people of Rome would not see Brutus as a liberator who killed a tyrant, but as the murderer of their beloved general.<ref name="Origins 1" />		A few days later, Antonius was present at the [[Theatre of Pompey]] to witness the [[Assassination of Julius Caesar\|assassination of Caesar]].

	Three hours after ~~the assassination of~~ Caesar, Antonius used his considerable influence to turn the Roman citizens against Caesar's killers. He claimed that the ''Liberatores'' responsible for Caesar's death had acted without their consent, and made them fear for their own safety. As an angry mob formed around him, several citizens brought forward a Roman senator they accused of being one of the conspirators involved in Caesar's assassination. Before the man could speak and defend himself, the mob began savagely beating him to death.<ref name="Origins 2">[[Assassin's Creed: Origins (comic)\|''Assassin's Creed: Origins'' comic]] – [[Assassin's Creed: Origins 2\|Issue #2]]</ref>		Three hours after Caesar's murder, Antonius used his considerable influence to turn the Roman citizens against Caesar's killers.

	Aya intervened and put the man out of his misery with an [[arrow]] before fleeing from the mob. Meanwhile, Antonius returned to the Theatre of Pompey, knowing Aya would arrive there as well shortly since it was the last place people would expect her to go to. When the Hidden One confronted him and aimed her [[bow]] at him, Antonius insisted that his death would not bring peace to Rome as the citizens wanted Brutus' head. He then implored Aya to bring Brutus to the people so that Rome could be at peace, and watched as another angry mob arrived and chased the Hidden One away.<ref name="Origins 2"/>		Aya intervened and put the man out of his misery with an [[arrow]] before fleeing from the mob.
