Biography
Since a very young age, Nefarius had found a calling to serve alongside the priests of the temples. Throughout his entire life, he was constantly overwhelmed with a feeling of never doing enough... every prayer, every sacrifice, and all the time spent serving at the temples could always be more. In his eyes, Rome had fallen from the Divine path it was supposed to follow long ago. The people worried more about politics, wars, and a million other useless things, when a clear solution was right in front of their eyes. The gods were grand, they possessed unimaginable power, and through unconditional worship, they would save them.
This obsession with serving the gods, and the feeling of never being enough, led him to distance himself even from his family. He spent all of his free time tending to the temples or preaching to the masses in the streets. Along the way, he met a myriad of priests and people he came to admire greatly, such as Chief Priest Donutella Vinarius and Chief Priest Aster.

The Fall of the Republic
Nefarius spent most of his time trying to continue serving the Temple, while Rome had already strayed from the path it was supposed to follow. The recent years had seen a great increase in heresy and instability throughout the city, and he saw this as a test from the gods—to fix what should have never become broken.
After the emergency anti-heresy measures were put in place, Nefarius made his best attempt to find and root out the evil heretics that plagued Rome. He went through the streets, and this is where he first encountered the Cult of Mithras. Although the appearance of the demon was that of a harmless bunny, this false god almost killed Nefarius and a couple of other Chief Priests. That is when he realized that the rot would never be purged unless the whole city rose to fight it, and so he decided to try and join the Senate.
His campaign to join the Senate was successful, and at first, things were good. He felt like he was reconnecting with his family and cousins again, but quickly this fragile perception was shattered. The Senate could never accomplish anything. They debated and fought over unimportant affairs... Lack of bread? Economics? War with the outside world? How could any of those things be more important than making the gods happy again? How could they not see that the gods were the only salvation for Rome? The Senate was foolish, and it only got worse with time.
When Monkeus Vinarius was assassinated and his family slaughtered during the rebellion, Nefarius lost faith in the government and decided to take things into his own hands. The Vinarius were chosen of Saturn; one of the heirs to the family was a Chief Priest... they were the only ones who still spoke to a god... How could the city let this happen? He then started to plot and quickly rose in power inside the Church, running more inquisitions and gathering more extremist believers. He made new friends and allies who shared his beliefs, such as Chief Priest Cinna Lucretia Cento, Octavia Lucretia Verus Helvia, Romilia Agnius Marcella, and aeditui Creeper.
But while he was trying his best to save the city, the city pushed back... His own cousins were found guilty of heresy. His own cousin, Divinia Umbria Icilia, was found guilty of treason and staged another civil war, which brought even more suffering to Rome. And so, Nefarius decided to step up and try to take things into his own hands one last time.
