Senator Augustus Ciabatta
Senator Augustus Ciabatta is a Ceresian senator who arrives in Comida with about ten other senators and a large troop of Ceresian soldiers CC E3·01:07:58. He is a giant loaf of bread with a small branch of leaves around his head, wearing a toga, and he throws coins to the people of the city as he waves CC E3·01:07:58. He calls out "Hello, people of Comida! Hello! (throws more money) From your friends in Ceresia!" CC E3·01:08:42. His card calls him Augustus Ciabatta, Ceresian senator CC E3·01:08:39.
Brennan presents Ciabatta among about ten Ceresian senators arriving at the Cornucopian Hall CC E3·01:07:58. At the tournament he roots for his own gladiator, and afterwards tells Amethar the day was brought low by criminals and that he does not believe Keradin acted alone CC E4·00:12:10 CC E4·01:37:16 CC E4·01:37:44. In CC_05 he thanks Lapin for rescuing him from a boring conversation, and takes him for a walk on the ramparts, where he remarks that nobody tried to attack the Ceresians on the road CC E5·00:24:35 CC E5·00:27:06. He invites Lapin to bring a few companions on a secret expedition about Alfredi, and in peasant clothes he leads the party into Alfredi's hidden domicile CC E5·00:29:17 CC E5·01:20:30 CC E5·01:22:59. There he calls Alfredi a humbug rather than a miracle worker, stuffs papers from a shelf into a sack, and says an anonymous informant will tell the Imperial Guard tomorrow so that alchemists can dispose of the poisonous material CC E5·01:27:00 CC E5·01:30:13 CC E5·01:30:48.
At the cathedral trial Plumbeline says her father named Ciabatta emperor, but Ciabatta is not there CC E5·02:04:01 CC E5·02:05:34. In CC_09 Brennan says that one of the masked assassins is Senator Ciabatta, and he is unmasked and badly injured CC E9·02:00:10 CC E9·02:03:50. In CC_10, after Jet dies, a Ceresian assassin calls him Imperator, and he says it is a shame they do not have more of the water steel daggers CC E10·00:14:49 CC E10·00:15:17. Liam later tells Caramelinda "It was Ciabatta and three other bread people" CC E10·00:22:02.
In CC_13 Brennan says Ciabatta left Comida after the tournament, took over Ceresia as Imperator, and used what he stole from Alfredi to kill his political enemies CC E13·00:37:20. An intercepted letter from him tells Cruller he could be governor of Candia as a Ceresian province CC E13·00:42:30. In the final battle his troops are incinerated and he stands alone, calling "Ceresia, Ceresia, to me!" CC E17·01:40:05 CC E17·01:40:17. Brennan says he was not dressed for battle, and Ruby stabs him in the back and he dies CC E17·01:39:20 CC E17·01:44:32 CC E17·01:44:35.
