Mandubratius

[close] There were two instances of the name "Mandubratius" we found while conducting our research. One instance was the Chieftain of the Iceni and father of Boudicca, while the other was a man who had a contested claim of the Chieftainship of the Trinovantes, and had persuaded Gaius Julius Caesar to help him remove Mandubratius' uncle from the Chieftainship in exchange for tin and pearl interests. We incorporated the second Mandubratius unto the story. While the real Mandubratius went on to fight along side Caesar during the civil war against Pompii Magnus (where Mandubratius died), we fictionalized his character somewhat, though he still "dies" in that famous battle. With respect to the character Mandubratius, here is his description: (CONTAINS SPOILERS)

Mandubratius, whose given name is Awvarwy, is the self-proclaimed Chieftain of the Trinovantes. His uncle had seized the Chieftainship after Mandubratius' father died. In 55 BCE, Mandubratius formed a pact with Gaius Julius Caesar to gain Mandubratius the Chieftainship of the Trinovantes in exchange for aiding Caesar acquire tin, pearls, and other raw materials. Mandubratius sailed with Marcus Galerius Primus Helvetticus in an attempt to join forces with his comrades in western Britain.

After allegedly betraying Marcus and his soldiers, a beaten, abused, and staked Mandubratius finds himself sponsored against his will into the ranks of the Lamia by Felician, because his soon to be sister in darkness, Tertia Amata Antonia, wanted a plaything. How ironic that this plaything would rise to be Co-Consul of the Lamia with Amata, after a brief coup early in Morrigan's Brood.
