Aquilo

Aquilo is the Roman god of the North Wind and the true antagonist of Ryse: Son of Rome, being the force that manipulated the events of the entire game and aided in keeping Nero in power - the god is depicted as playing a cosmic "game" of chance with the goddess Summer and much like the ancient myths the game takes inspiration from neither are particularly caring for the plight such "games" bring on humanity, though Aquilo is by far the more antagonistic as he seeks to ensure the tyranny of Nero and his sons escalates to the point Rome is destroyed, while Summer seeks to keep Rome's fall from occuring.

Appearance
despite his malicious nature Aquilo takes a benevolent form with white robes and gentle features, this hides his true personality as an uncaring deity who sees humans as pawns on a cosmic game of chess and whose manipulations are designed to bring ruin to the empire and its people.

Abilities
as an Olympian Aquilo is immortal and virtually all-powerful, able to manipulate events in space and time so as to in essence do anything he may desire - he was most concerned with manipulating events in Rome so as to ultimately see it fall into ruin, despite his vast powers he was countered by other Olympians such as Summer, who equalled his power, while no other gods were ever encountered in the game it is almost certain that Aquilo was nowhere near the level of power found in an "all-father" deity such as Zeus.

Nevertheless, for all intents and purposes, within the story of the game Aquilo is by far the most powerful entity (alongside Summer) to be encountered and befitting his status as a god he is never physically fought nor fully defeated.
