Praetorian Prefect

From Tardis Wiki, the free Doctor Who reference
Praetorian Prefect

In the Roman Empire, the Praetorian Prefect was the overall commander of the Praetorian Guard.

Marcus Cornelius Falco's father was killed as a supporter of the Praetorian Prefect Sejandus in the midst of Imperial power struggles while Marcus was just a boy.

In 43 AD, Lucius Geta was not yet the true Praetorian Prefect, only commanding eight cohorts of Praetorians, but he "hoped to get there" if he made a good enough impression with Emperor Claudius.

In the real world, history records that Lucius Lusius Geta did in fact become Claudius's Praetorian prefect a few years down the line.
