Biography
Zifear is a man of boundless ambition. However, rather than the glory of Julia, Zifear has only one thing in mind: his own glory. He is constantly manipulating things with regards to military campaigns, policy changes, and the like to direct as much credit towards himself as possible, with the outcome of the events he influences directly benefiting him. He seeks to use the young Augustus as yet another tool to further his ends, but an obstacle stands in his way: the general Alexander, Augustus’ commander. Thus begins Zifear’s campaign to get Alexander out of the picture and bring Augustus completely under his thumb, with the eventual goal of manipulating the tides of war to grant himself unlimited power as Dictator for Life, transforming the Julian Republic into the Julian Empire.

Additionally, he is the grandfather of Adola Zifear, a young girl who takes very much after her grandfather and supports his dreams of a Julian Empire.
