Trebonius

Trebonius is the quiet hinge on which the conspiracy's timing turns, tasked with peeling Antony away from Caesar's side at the crucial moment. He is remembered by Cassius as a man who 'knows his time,' and his brief, efficient exit with Antony clears the stage for the knives. When he returns, it is to report Antony fled and Rome in uproar, a witness to the immediate chaos his small act helped unleash.
