Quartus Latani, known in conquest as Suusicus, first appears as the architect of Suus’s fall, a conqueror whose name is synonymous with the slaughter of the royal family. Across the series, he transitions from a distant, almost mythic figure of violence into a living presence whose return signals the rekindling of old wounds and the reassertion of Hierarchy power. His arc embodies the tension between past atrocities and present political maneuvering, as his re-emergence forces the conquered to confront both their trauma and the enduring machinery of imperial control.
