Brutus Severus

"The captain of the Prasinos camp, Severus, is a psychotic butcher. Everyday finding new, sick ways to inflict suffering on our people. Then at night he goes who knows where to plot and plan. While Severus lives the rebellion is nothing but sound and fury."

―Apate describing Severus to Bayek, 47 BCE.

Brutus Severus (died 47 BCE) was a Roman centurion who served under Agrippa in Cyrenaica during the 1st century BCE.

Biography

By 47 BCE, Severus was placed in charge of the Prasinos Outpost north of the Kyrenaika Roman Citadel. During his tenure, his outpost came under frequent attacks by a group of Egyptian freedom fighters led by Apate. With recommendations from Agrippa, Severus had the freedom fighters captured and punished by crucifixion. Severus also captured Ilamesu, an informant of Apollodorus and had him crucified.

Eventually, he had Apate captured and prepared to had her crucified outside the fort. However unbeknowst to Severus, Apate was freed by the Medjay Bayek of Siwa, who assisted her in attacking Severus' outpost. In the midst of the fighting, Severus was assassinated by Bayek, ending his tortures.
