PERDICCAS

But one person whose power began to rise spectacularly after Hephaestion's death was Perdiccas, who was also a royal bodyguard. Alexander came to see him as his right-hand man, and likely promoted him to Hephaestion's former position of second-in-command, or chiliarch. Perdiccas' authority was something that he exploited in the aftermath of the king's death … When he was growing weaker, Alexander had given his signet ring (the seal of authority) to Perdiccas, now his second-in-command, to make sure that the business of imperial administration continue uninterrupted. It was Perdiccas who ordered that all fires be ritually put out the night Alexander died as a mark of respect. The other senior officers accepted Perdiccas as Alexander's stand-in, at least while the king was alive, but it was a different matter after he died. It is an overstatement that "breath had hardly left Alexander's body before the ambitious [Perdiccas] himself dreamt of the succession." But Perdiccas was ambitious, and saw his position as merely a stepping stone to ruling all of Alexander's empire.'

—Ian Worthington, Ptolemy I: King & Pharaoh of Egypt

MARCUS JUNIUS BRUTUS

ANTONY This was the noblest Roman of them all. All the conspirators save only he Did that they did in envy of great Caesar. He only in a general honest thought And common good to all, made one of them. His life was gentle, and the elements So mixed in him that Nature might stand up And say to all the world, “This was a man.”

—Shakespeare, Julius Caesar

The Death of Julius Caesar but in the goofy corporate memphis art style that I am forced to see everywhere.
