The novel “The Children of the Company” by Kage Baker was published for the first time in 2005. It’s part of the cycle of the Company.

Labienus is the name used by one of the cyborgs created by Dr. Zeus Incorporated who carry out the company’s plans but over time has reached a level of power far beyond what a cyborg can typically achieve. His work over the millennia started from posing as a deity in Sumeria and in many other missions he took advantage of every opportunity for his personal gain.

During his long life, Labienus also developed his plans against Aegeus, another important Dr. Zeus cyborg. This means among other things striking at Victor, a protégé of Aegeus. In that fight, the life of mortals counts for nothing.
