Marcus Antonius

The person sitting at the center of the wide area has clothing similar to the ones people wore back in ancient Rome. Long white cloth that envelops the body from the shoulder down. I am certain that I knew what it's called but couldn't seem to remember it. Most statues of famous people from ancient Rome are sculpted wearing the same attire.

His back was facing us. With certainty, I could tell that he is a non-player character or NPC if you will. But, with no knowledge about his role, we don't know whether he is a threat or like most NPCs, he could be someone that could help us and give us useful items. For this reason, I told Siti to be ready and prepare a poison gas bomb and her combat knife. I did the same.
