Gaius Cassius

In the play, The Tragedy of Julius Caesar, by William Shakespeare, Cassius is a senator of the Roman Republic, and is very much against Julius Caesar. It is his desire to remove Caesar from power, and eventually does so through assassination. He is presented as a cold, calculating man. He can easily see people's true intentions, showing that he knows of dishonesty very well. He is also a master of manipulation, as  evidenced by his manipulation of the honorable Marcus Brutus, a close friend of Caesar.
