Antonia

Antonia au Severus-Julii

Victra's wicked sister, who feigns loyalty then guns down her own sister and mother to serve the Jackal's coup.

Story so far

Antonia, Victra's cruel half-sister, worms into the Augustus fold after supposedly aiding the taking of Thessalonica from the Bellona—but her loyalty is a lie. When the Jackal's coup erupts at Darrow's Triumph feast, she springs into action with lethal precision: she snatches a scorcher from a waiter's tray and shoots Victra twice in the spine and their mother twice in the neck, then directs the slaughter of the assembled heirs, finishing bloodlines centuries old and taking hostages. The wicked seed of the Julii proves truest to her nature, butchering her own family in the Sovereign's and Jackal's cause.
