Cleopatra

"Caesar moves away from the Senate, placing his trust in foreign rulers, adopting the ego and pomp of his Egyptian whore."

―Marcus Junius Brutus about Cleopatra's influence on Caesar.

Cleopatra, by John William Waterhouse

Cleopatra VII Thea Philopator (69 BCE – 12 August 30 BCE) was the last effective Pharaoh of the Ptolemaic dynasty of Egypt.

Initially sharing power with her father, and later, with her brothers, Cleopatra eventually gained sole control with the help of the Templars. She then started a liaison with Gaius Julius Caesar.

In 30 BCE, Cleopatra died inside her palace after being poisoned by a venomous asp used by the Assassin Amunet.
