## Events of Round Trip

### Like A Pinata

Cassius was first interrogated after detective Albert Albu and the player found out that the baseball bat used to kill his boss, Russian mafia leader Matteo Savari, belonged to him. When we asked Cassius about his baseball bat, he told us that it was nothing to worry about and that he's been missing his bat all week. He then said that he would never kill his boss because it would be bad for the mafia.

Cassius was interrogated again after Albert and the player found a note he wrote to scientist Mary Thompson, saying that Savari would be dead by the time she arrived. When we asked Lando about what him and Mary were planning, he assured us that it was no big deal and that she just wanted to do experiments on the island. We asked him why he said "Savari will be dead" and he said that it was a figure of speech since Matteo and Mary last met decades ago and that he'll be shocked to see her. He told us that he knew it was a poor choice of words but he didn't mean anything by it.

In the end, it was revealed that Cassius was Matteo's killer.

Upon admitting to the murder, Cassius said that his boss was overbearing and weak and that he deserved to rule over the Russian mafia more than him, especially after his parents were killed in a gang fight led by Matteo. Cassius said that he had no regrets and would've happily killed him over and over again. He then said that Mary could've used the island more than Matteo could have, as she was building laboratories and continuing the progress of humanity while Matteo just showed off his wealth with the island. Cassius said that killing Matteo was his finest moment and that he's always been treated as less than by him and it was high time he finally struck back.

Cassius was sentenced to 25 years in prison.

## Events of Greensin's Secrets

### All Eyes On Me

Cassius was interrogated again after detective Selena Lavigne and the player found his pistol in the prison courtyard where prison guard and Summoners member Jackson Brock was murdered. After realizing that the fingerprints belonged to Cassius, the player told Selena who he was and she told us that in the altered timeline, Cassius is actually the leader of the Russian mob. When we interrogated Cassius about this, he told us that he was visiting one of his lackeys in jail and was going to pay judge Zuri Amsterdam for a bail-out, but he couldn't find them.

Cassius was interrogated again after Selena and the player realized that the person Cassius told us about was given the death penalty by lethal injection and the one that gave the lethal injection was Jackson. Cassius said that he was infuriated to find out that one of his lackeys was killed by Jackson and that he got what was coming to him.

Cassius was found to be innocent after the team incarcerated arrested killer Marcus Amsterdam for Jackson's murder.

### In For A Treat

Cassius was interrogated again after detective Miles Patterson and the player found out that he was at the chocolate store that baker Steve Lead's killer was at around the same time. When we interrogated Lando about him being at the chocolate store, he said that he was getting dark chocolate because of the phenethylamines in it. We asked him to repeat the long word he said and he said that he had a blood illness that can be cured by phenethylamines, a chemical which is found most in dark chocolate. When we asked Cassius about if he saw anyone suspicious-looking, he told us that in his job he sees suspicious people every day and that it would be impossible to list them all.

Cassius was interrogated again after Miles and the player found a love letter he got from Steve's wife, Susan Lead. When we asked Cassius about this, he said that Steve's wife Susan was into him and kept sending him weird letters saying that she wanted to leave Steve and be with him now. Cassius rejected all of these letters but it got the attention of an angry Steve who threatened to beat him up, not knowing he was the head of the Russian mafia. Cassius said that he told him to back off but he never listened, but he would've never killed such a sore weakling like him.

In the end, it was revealed that Cassius was Steve's killer.

Upon admitting to the murder, Cassius revealed his true identity as a vampire named Cassius and he told us that he didn't kill Steve for any particular reason apart from the fact that he needed to feast on some blood. He said that Steve was annoying enough so he went to the chocolate store and planted explosives in the bomb, exploding his face and causing him to use his fangs to suck his blood out. Cassius then managed to escape.

### The Prophecy

Cassius was seen one last time during the final duel between the team and the vampires. However, after hacker King K. caused arrested socialite Kim Jenner's family's gargoyle statue to explode, all of the vampires, including Cassius, were blown to smithereens along with King himself as well as the entirety of the rest of the team.
