Tiberius Claudius Caesar Augustus Germanicus

Emperor Claudius is the ruler of the Roman Empire as seen in the Roman Film. It is evident that he was the one person with equal or greater influence and power than Magnus Maximus, and so Magnus ordered his execution (by the assassins Rhiannon and Grey) so he could further his plans of destruction, death and domination.
== Character ==
=== Appearance ===
The Emperor is tall, elegant and always dressed smartly. He has classic Roman light hair in a short style and has a good face for putting on coins. Even when out on visits to the Britannian countryside he dresses in full regalia, all gold and white, complete with a laurel wreath on his head.
=== Personality ===
He is overly-trusting and a bit of a drip, bending under Magnus's whim like a parent under the shrieking tantrums of a spoiled child, until Magnus decided to take power into his own hands and have Claudius killed by the assassins.
(who let Magnus write this page?)
Claudius is overly trusting and is far too certain of his power over people, who are ready to betray him. He speaks arrogantly, wanting to make a point of how important he is at all times, but can't imagine anyone else being annoyed by that and feel murderous rather than jealous.
=== Powers/Abilities ===
Being the Emperor, Claudius wields immense political and military power, but mostly relies on subordinates to deal with that for him. He has no experience of fighting and can't defend himself against assassins or anyone really.
== History ==
Claudius was invited by Maximus to visit an unremarkable mountaintop in the Drosgl Mountains during his routine visit of the occupied Britannian territory of the Empire. Calling Maximus his "most trusted of centurions" he fell for a trap set by the Centurion to capture Claudius and release a dragon to kill him and terrify the rest of his subjects into subordinance. This was a success up until Magnus lost control of the dragon and chaos took over. The crew of Celts turned to help defend the Emperor and eventually rescued him from the situation, knowing he'd still be a better ruler than Maximus over them.
Claudius spoke with the Celts afterwards and agreed with Gaius that "not every Celt is your enemy, but also not every Roman is your friend". He made no promises but didn't attack the Celts immediately afterwards so there's that. When Magnus returned to kill Armnius, Claudius took the opportunity to arrest the ex-Centurion and ordered him be taken to the Colosseum for execution.Category:Roman Film
