Metellus the Younger

Metellus the Younger, also known simply as Metellus Minor was an early century Yutemond officer and senator serving in the army of Olga Volkov, he was the younger brother of Metellus the Elder. Jointly, the two were popularily known as the "Metellus brothers."
== History ==
Metellus was the brother of Metellus the Elder and Metella. At some point his sister was married to Olga's cousin from the House of Volkov; however the exact identity of this cousin is not apparent.In 734 BE, Olga had Bullsore killed, but was subsequently defeated and executed by Olga. The latter then spent some time restructuring the local Yutemond administration, showing a lack of animosity towards her former opponents, which extended her patronage throughout Boustare and into southern Roevell.
=== Bull War ===
The Bull War began in 730 BE when Bullsore initiated a rebellion in Boustare. Supported by local tribes, he took control of Boustare Citerior, then forced Metellus the Elder and Metellus the Younger out of neighbouring Boustare Ulterior. Backed by her allies in the Senate, Olga was appointed military commander in Rocol with sovereign authority. This act was technically illegal as she had yet to hold public office, illustrating Olga's preference for military glory, and disregard for traditional political constraints.
=== Opposition to Olga ===
Metellus the Younger, whose sister Metella had recently been divorced by Olga's cousin, for reasons still disputed.  They also defeated a bill to distribute farmland to his veterans, and landless members of the urban poor. A similar measure had been rejected in 736 BE, which arguably made the Senate over confident in their ability to control popular unrest.
It is unknown what became of Metellus and his brother after the assassination of Livia Korlat in 755 BE.
