“It all depends on me, you see. Nothing is certain until I have beheld it and set it in place, until I have placed myself above it or below, before it or after...I am the One, the All, the Face you will see last. I am the Everything." - Cicero's Mad Ramblings

Once a mortal in the Republic of Endhome, Cicero was born of an influential family now lost to the annals of history. Over time he worked his way through the government until he was elected Senator. He sought reforms in agriculture and governance, that while it gained him much support from the commoners, made him unpopular among the nobility. Political opponents painted him as a clown, a fool, a jester, in an attempt to discredit and disparage his radical ideas. Graffiti was painted near his home of hideous caricatures of him as a court jester, and the constant barrage began to eat away at his mind.
Unable to enact his reforms alone, Cicero attempted to strike a bargain with a friend in the Senate. When the time for the vote came, his friend had betrayed him and the vote failed. The senator brought out a wonderfully painted mural of cicero painted in a clowns outfit, and the entire senate chamber had a laugh at his expense. At that moment, something broke in Cicero's mind. The senator lashed out in a violent manner, and in his manic ramblings was placed under arrest. The ramblings never stopped.
Cicero sat in the same cell guarded at all times, and was dressed as a court jester in a cruel display of contempt by those who held him captive. He never slept, ate or drank. For weeks and months on end he did nothing but ramble incoherently. Guards started to refuse to watch over him, believing the manic ramblings would curse them. They were right, for every guard that watched over Cicero met a gruesome end.
Some months passed and more were sent to find out what had befallen the mad senator. His rotted corpse was discovered, by all accounts he should have been dead, but the voices continued to echo throughout the chamber. The cell was magically sealed away from the world, and many thought that his influence was over. But Cicero's work was not done, as one by one all the Senator's who had wronged him began to die a circumstantial or painful death. Over time, evidence was discovered that these were committed by various assassins and mortals, and many of the killers were caught. Sages began to worry as to the patterns of the murders, all of the killers had gained skilled considerable skill in a short period of time, and most had developed some form of insanity. ll the Amurders were ones that otherwise should have been prevented, and all were committed in a gruesome fashion. What's more, is all of the killers that were caught were discovered wearing a jesters outfit. Cicero's work was not done.

Divinity

Scholars are uncertain why Cicero had the spark of divinity. Some speculate it was the circumstances of his birth and the alignment of the twin sisters in the sky. Others speculate that he had found an artifact or had accepted the gift of a great deity to get his revenge.

Worshippers

Worshippers of Cicero often display fits of madness or babbling. They are sometimes drawn to him under a different guise, and only discover the source of their power once they have committed an unspeakable act.
