	==Story==		==Story==
			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. 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.
	===Death===
	In 48 BC, Beneminius was lured into a trap and killed by his own chief priests after they determined that he was not fulfilling his position effectively.
	<!-- Need more information about his story prior to his death -->

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

	==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.

			'''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.

			__TOC__

			==Appearance==
			Beneminius was a tall man with a composed, almost statuesque presence, as though carved from marble. Branching scars crossed his skin following the lightning strike he survived. Marking him as a man who had survived the unnatural. He did not attempt to conceal them, allowing the scars to serve as a reminder of the storm that changed his life.
			His expression was usually focused and unreadable. He spoke in a calm and measured voice that rarely rose, but nevertheless carried authority.

			==Personality==
			Calm, controlled, and deeply calculating, Beneminius was a man who rarely wasted words or movement, preferring to watch and take stock before acting. Strength, endurance, and results mattered to him more than sentiment.
			<!-- Could maybe add more here since it's kind of short -->

	==Biography==		==Biography==
			Beneminius was born into the Fulminara, a minor [[Patrician]] family of modest influence. The family was known within Roma but held little power or respect compared with the greater houses. As such, his early life was defined by limited expectations. Growing up in the shadow of Rome’s more powerful families, Beneminius learned to watch carefully and find his place in a world largely shaped by greater names.
	Blab here about the general bio

			His position changed following a devastating storm. Lightning struck the estates, storehouses, and other holdings of several rival families that had long overshadowed the Fulminara. The pattern of destruction seemed unusually and terrifyingly precise, and by the end of the storm many of those families had lost much of what had supported their power.

			The Fulminara estate was also burned and scarred, but it remained standing. Beneminius himself survived a direct lightning strike, which left branching scars across his body. Afterwards, some claimed that Jupiter had judged the Fulminara’s rivals and spared Beneminius. Others saw the event as no more than chance during a destructive storm.

			Beneminius did not confirm or deny either interpretation. Instead, he took advantage of the position the storm had left him in. He secured abandoned holdings, rebuilt his family’s influence, and helped make the Fulminara one of the stronger families in the area. He also did little to discourage the stories about Jupiter’s favour, allowing others to draw their own conclusions.

			Under Beneminius’s leadership, the Fulminara became the [[House Fulminii\|Fulminii]] and gained considerably more influence. The family’s rise came from Beneminius’s planning and ambition, but the story of the storm also became an important part of their reputation. Whether Jupiter had truly chosen him was never settled.
