well Cesar makes more sense, then they all seem to have some common Roman emperor thread but I can't find an emperor cane in any spelling, but all the others are, any ideas?

To clarify, here is the transcript that Agent Lex got from Brackin in a GMail chat conversation. Remember, the "Esau" name is now presumed to be "Cesar".

[quote="morelaakActually, the word "Caesar" is not the name of any one Roman Emperor, but rather a title given to all of them. thus there was a "Caesar Augustus", a "Caesar Caligula", etc. In this way, we could be mistaken as the rest of the names in the list are referring to specific people.

On the other hand, Esau and Cane are both Biblical figures, so Esau would make a little more sense. I just can't really see it in the page.

Also...biblically, the name is "Cain," not "Cane." It could be a spelling error, or we could be barking up the wrong tree.

Re: Morelaak's comment

The great Julius Caesar, adoptive father of the child that would become emperor Augustus, is often referred to simply as Caesar.

Oh, and I think the last name looks more like the word 'leave' than Cain or Cane--but 'leave' really makes next to no sense.

The handwriting is a little dated... that's why the C's look like LE's.

Check the difference between the C in Caligula and the C in Cane.

hmm....

Cain vs. Cane....

Anybody else remember Cane from Command & Conquer??? Razz

yeh Julius Caesar is generally meant by the reference Caesar on its own, even though it is a title also given that I believe stems from the original Emperor Caesar.

I'm posting this in a couple of places, but Ethan said something about a big mission to find all the pages of a book. So this is only the beginning for us. Maybe the other pages will give us more insight. Hopefully we don't have to wait too long.

Considering that there's something up to 200 pages, it might take a while Wink

Though I believe a quarter of them are kept at the Vatican, so that's 50 out the way...

i havent checked into this myself yet but has anyone looked to see if the folio is actually a real document? if so if the rest of it is available to read anywhere it may prove to have valuable insight as to whats going on.

ok, I don't want to say this, as it takes away from the realism of the game, so i'm gonna spoiler it.
