well since we know little of the personal lives of historic figures I'll go with what would be known about him in history.

He would be Brute' as in "Et tu Brute'? Et tu."

A trusted adviser that will stab you in the back for more power.

Except Marcus Junius Brutus wasn't a "trusted advisor".

He was part of the faction that fought for Caesar's enemy, Pompey. Caesar pardoned him and many of the other leaders who survived from the Pompiean faction because Pompey was still a beloved figure. (It was also believed that Brutus might have been Caesar's illegitimate son, because he was schtupping Brutus' mother.)

Members of this faction saw Caesar was attempting to establish a dictatorship for life and assassinated him. And at least initially, that was a popular move. Ultimately, the assassins were defeated by Mark Antony and Octavian Caesar, who then proceeded to fight amongst themselves.

Ultimately leaving the Roman Republic dead and replaced with a permanent dictatorship of the Caesars. Which mostly worked out except when they got the occassional whackjob like Caligula in there.

You don't consider closing down government twice and leading the charge to the successful impeachment of a popular president over nonsense, accomplishments?

For shame, man..for shame.
