Pompey was first revealed in Weekly Blog #23: Caesar, Pompey, Crassus forum post on November 30th, 2019. He will act as an advisor, a community Role in the Legion of Pompey and finally as part of a new Unique Game Mode.

Around 60 BCE, Caesar, Pompey, and Crassus enjoyed enormous military power and each led separate armies under the Roman flag. As their individual power rose, they each threatened the stability of the Republic.
Pompey was a bit older than Caesar and by, all accounts, was the greatest military leader of the time. Pompey led the Romans to victory in multiple wars, most notably against Roman rebels in Hispania, against the Persian empire, and on the Mediterranean itself against the Cilician Pirates. Pompey fashioned himself as a modern day Alexander, and it was no coincidence that his troops bestowed upon him the same moniker. Pompey truly was Great.
