Lucius Severus, best known as Emperor Caracalla of Rome.

He is best known as the inheritor of the throne with his younger brother Geta. He attempted to have Geta assassinated, Geta ran to their mother Julia Domna, where Caracalla knifed him to death on her lap. He attempted to have his mother assassinated as well, but Julia Domna was so popular, even among those who are murderers for hire, that no assassin that the Emperor of Rome could find, would do the job. His brother Geta had every image of him, every text about him wiped from history in what was known as "Damnatio Memoria" or "Damn his memory" - of course, we know about him now because later writers confirmed the existence of Geta after Caracalla's death.

Caracalla wasn't all bad though, he did a lot of great things for the Roman Empire including introducing Rome to the first ever Indoor Shopping Mall in the history of Civilization. The Baths of Caracalla, did not only feature a large variety of indoor shops, but also, in floor heating, underground parking for chariots and horses, but also, publiuc washroom in various places, a food court, and an indoor spa. In fact, there was very little difference between the malls of today and Caracalla's.

Caracalla was assassinated by one of his own Bodyguard, Julius Martialis; who lived mere seconds after the deed was done, as Caracalla's loyal body guards immediately killed the assassin. He was the first in a long line of assassinated Emperors until Diocletian; with only a few breaks,. including Claudius Gothicus who died of the plague.

Caracalla is also considered a King of the Britons.
