Lucius suspected that [[Faustinus]], the bishop of Lugdunum, had betrayed them by revealing their plans to their enemies, and so Aquilus decided to interrogate him.

Faustinus initially claimed that he had acted alone, but upon being beaten up by the Hidden One, he betrayed the identity of his accomplice: Vultur.

	Aquilus was saved by a timely attack on Gracchus' camp by Accipiter's Alemmani forces, who defeated the Romans and found Aquilus' unconscious body.

	Aquilus subsequently rushed back to Lucius' home to report Vultur's treachery, only to find his father dead and the Ankh missing. Upon closer inspection, Aquilus found his father's servant [[Weke]], who had been mortally wounded and only managed to utter a few words before passing away.

	Aquilus tracked Vultur to Rome, where he eliminated him ~~and his fellow conspirators~~ and retrieved the Ankh, taking it back to his home in Lugdunum. During this time, the Alemanni planned to ransack the city, but the Iberian Hidden One [[Cuervo]] convinced Accipiter to negotiate a deal with the [[Prefect of Lugdunum]] instead, in order to preserve the Liberalis Circulum's interests. The prefect agreed to pay Accipiter a significant tribute in exchange for sparing the city, but later ordered the arrest and execution of Aquilus and his wife [[Valeria]].<ref name="AC3A" />		Aquilus tracked Vultur to Rome, where he eliminated him and retrieved the Ankh, taking it back to his home in Lugdunum.
