Queen Cleopatra (Cléopâtre) – Queen of Egypt. Other characters often make remarks about her beautiful nose. She appears on the cover of Asterix and Cleopatra, where Asterix, Obelix and Getafix are asked for aid from an Egyptian architect to build a palace. She is also in Asterix and Son- where she sends her son to Asterix for safe keeping- and Asterix and Obelix All at Sea. Her appearance in the comic is seemingly based on Elizabeth Taylor’s screen depiction of the historical figure.

Brutus

idefix — Mon, 03 Jan 2011 06:11:51 +0000

Brutus – Marcus Junius Brutus, Caesar’s adopted son. Constantly plays with a knife, a reference to him being one of Caesar’s assassins in real life. Caesar often uses the Shakespearean quote: “Et tu, Brute?” to him for various purposes. Brutus appears in minor roles in various books, and has a major role in Asterix and Son, where his plot to kill Caesar and Cleopatra’s infant son to secure his place as Caesar’s heir prompts him to attack the village when Cleopatra sends her son there for safety. Brutus’s physical appearance is arguably different in each of his appearances.
