Julius Caesar - Ciáran
Hinds
Energetic, brilliant, methodical; a man driven, electrified
even, by a primordial need for dominance: Caesar has very little room
for regular human emotions.

He can be witty and charming or warm and caring, but
these qualities are always performances, produced as needed, and rarely
prompted by genuine feeling.
Ìý
In a society of strict class divisions, Caesar is descended
from one of the oldest and most noble patrician families; he has reinforced
his status through marriage to Calpurnia, descendant of another influential
family.
Ìý
Co-consul of Rome with Pompey Magnus.
