	Cassius Chaerea - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Cassius was disturbed by the increasingly-unbalanced emperor, and angered at Caligula's mocking of his voice and his supposed or real effeminacy, possibly due to a wound to his genitalia suffered while serving Caligula's father, Germanicus.
		Chaerea requested the watch word for the day, and upon receiving Caligula's response, cried "So be it." It was there that they fell upon him with their swords, Cassius striking the first blow.
		Cassius was sympathetic to his co-conspirators in the Senate, and so wanted the destruction of the principate.
