>>He sticks around.<< For a while. But Octavian kills him off... >>When Caesar's great-nephew and adoptive son Octavian invaded Egypt in 30 BC, Cleopatra sent Caesarion to the Red Sea port of Berenice for safety, but his guardians were lured back and the boy was captured. Octavian captured the city of Alexandria on August 1, 30 BC, the date that marks the official annexation of Egypt to the Roman Republic. Cleopatra's consort Mark Antony had committed suicide prior to Octavian's entry into the capital; she followed his example by committing suicide on August 12, 30 BC. Octavian now had to deal with the fate of the captured teenage Pharaoh. Fearing that "too many Caesars", as he put it, would threaten his claim to being the sole successor to his adoptive father, he decided that his adoptive brother must be put to death. << en.wikipedia.org
