CAIUS TREBONIUS AND MARK ANTONY, MARCH 15th
The Hetairia of Cassius, Luciano Canfora
Cic. Phil. 2
(taps mic) so as we all know, conspiracy is a kind of seduction, and actions not taken can be just as loud as the ones that are. so. uh. fellas! hey fellas. heyyyyyy.
like, I was looking at the Dolabella-Caesar-Antony mess yesterday, but something really fun and vicious happened here and I will be rotating it around in my head at maximum volume for the foreseeable future
the red panels are the Assassination of Julius Caesar by Vincenzo Camuccini (the pen and ink drawing, not the painting)

i’d like to know more about kzm!! i like him ^_^ you mentioned that he got contaminated? how?/what are the symptoms?
I'm going to focus a little more on his contamination in this reply! [Here's a post summarizing his character for people who haven't seen it before.]
Contamination in this context refers to a type of fictional corrupting disease that occurs after prolonged exposure to angelic power. My good friend @manywinged wrote a document about the progression and symptoms which explains it better than I could, so [click here to read more about it.] (cw for fictional terminal illness + discussion of topics like death/suicide/euthanasia)
KZM is afflicted with Stage III contamination. During his past as a demon hunter, he would often use an angelic weapon from the archives of the Bishop Foundation and participate in experimental procedures utilizing samples of angelic flesh and bone. This, of course, was before there was a thorough understanding of the risks of contamination. They don't do stuff like that anymore (or at least not as openly)
He experiences a variety of physical and mental symptoms, but the big three are metallic "rotting" especially on his right side, changes to his eyes, and changes to his strength/endurance. Having been removed from his more active position (and his sword), the progression of his contamination has slowed down significantly.
