	Beneminius served as the Pontifex Maximus of the Roman faith during the final years of the Republic. In 50 BC, he appointed a number of chief priests and priestesses to oversee Rome's many temples while personally presiding over the Temple of Jupiter. The elected priests during this period were [[Alba Verus ~~Damianus~~]], [[Astra Vera Sol]], Aster, [[Cinna Lucretia Cento]], and [[Donutella Vinarius]]. During his tenure, rumours began to circulate of hidden cults and other unorthodox religious movements operating within the Republic, though little concrete evidence was available at the time.

	Despite his prominent religious position, Beneminius and his household soon became the target of political intrigue.

The incident was ultimately resolved through discussions with the attending legate of the Third Legion, whom Beneminius regarded as a reasonable and honourable officer.

	The raid left a lasting impact on the Pontifex Maximus. Fearing for the safety of his family, he withdrew from public life and spent much of his time secluded within his estate. While he continued to fulfil the essential duties of his office, his prolonged absence from Rome's religious affairs frustrated many of the chief priests and priestesses beneath him. What began as dissatisfaction gradually grew into resentment, and some within the priesthood began to question whether Beneminius was still fit to lead the Roman faith.

	Although increasingly reclusive, ~~Beneminius continued to appear when circumstances demanded it.

Although increasingly reclusive, he witnessed the manifestation of Jupiter within the temples and ordered for the [[Heretic Trials]] to be held, attempting to seize the cultists that were becoming more and more prevalent across Rome. However, Beneminius would fail to attend these trials himself, leaving his chief priests to head the punishments they themselves did not see sufficient evidence for. When they turned to the heavens themselves, Jupiter would deem the captured suspects all innocent with the exception of '''Cyborg Chris'''.

	Little is recorded of Beneminius' activities during the following years. Contemporary accounts suggest that he devoted himself almost entirely to the protection of his family while allowing much of the day-to-day administration of the priesthood to fall to his subordinates. By around 49 BC, however, divisions within the priesthood had deepened, and those closest to him had begun quietly conspiring against their ~~High~~ ~~Pontiff~~.

They were assisted by members of [[House Valerius]] and [[House Fulminii]] itself.

			After his death, records recovered by Judge [[Rubricus Fulgens]], Chief Priest [[Cinna Lucretia Cento]], and Governor [[Jestius Cento]] from an apprehended cultist of the Fulminii household would reveal double ledgers for the grain yield of the family and additional evidence and confessions of embezzling grain from the Republic's farmers and citizens, proving the claims made in 50 BC to be true.

	'''Beneminius Fulminii''' was a Roman religious leader and member of [[House Fulminii]] who served as Pontifex, the head of the ~~clergy~~, until his death in 48 BC during [[The Fall of the Republic]] Event. After surviving a direct lightning strike, he became associated with rumours that he had been touched or favoured by Jupiter. Beneminius neither confirmed nor denied these claims, instead allowing the uncertainty surrounding the event to strengthen his family’s influence.

His family's estate was raided by a detachment of the Roman Legion under accusations directed at members of his household. During the confrontation, one of the legionaries was heard shouting about a mysterious "kill ticket" a phrase that left Beneminius bewildered and convinced the man was either delusional or influenced by a cult.

	<!--Blab here about their story (remove this section if unknow, however some info for you: they died after being lured into a trap by their own chief priests after they decided they were not doing a good job, I can send u info on this if you ask - Josh)-->
	==Relationships==
	[[Adelpha Fulminia]]:
	Beneminius’s sister.

			Although increasingly reclusive, Beneminius continued to appear when circumstances demanded it. He witnessed the manifestation of Jupiter within the temples and ordered the suppression and execution of known cultists, remaining steadfast in his defence of the traditional Roman religion despite the growing unrest surrounding him.
	[[Aliquid Fulminii Quod]]:
	Beneminius’s youngest son.

			Little is recorded of Beneminius' activities during the following years. Contemporary accounts suggest that he devoted himself almost entirely to the protection of his family while allowing much of the day-to-day administration of the priesthood to fall to his subordinates. By around 49 BC, however, divisions within the priesthood had deepened, and those closest to him had begun quietly conspiring against their High Pontiff.
	[[Agentus Penguinus Fulminii]]:
	Beneminius’s middle son.

			In 48 BC, the conspiracy reached its conclusion. Beneminius was lured into a carefully orchestrated trap and assassinated by his own chief priests, who had come to believe that he had failed in his responsibilities as Pontifex Maximus. His death marked the end of his leadership over the Roman faith and remains one of the most infamous betrayals in the history of the Republic's priesthood.
	[[Stabenius Fulminii]]: <!--saw this name referred to in the discord, but the user appears to not be around anymore so idk-->
	Beneminius’s eldest son.
