Cassius was a very pushy leader especially when it came to the assassination of Caesar in 44 A.D. He pushed all of his colleagues into thinking Caesar was a tyrant trying to take over Rome. He knew how to get what he wanted, to lie about Caesar and to convince Casca, Cinna, Decius Brutus, Caius Ligarius, Metellus Cimber, Trebonius, and most of all, Caesar's close friend, Marcus Brutus.
Cassius weaved and moved cunningly around to convince these noblemen that Caesar, a great leader, was a tyrant, willing to kill anybody in his way to rule Rome. He knew to get his way in convincing noble men like Marcus Brutus to kill Caesar, he would have to bend the truth. Told by Cassius, these noblemen tricked and condemned Caesar to death by stabing him over 100 times.
Dieing a bloody death, Caesar moved every Roman's heart against these noblemen, they killed every conspirator, no matter their status.
