Cleopatra VII Thea Philopator (70/69 BC – 10 August 30 BC) was a Queen of the Ptolemaic dynasty in the late Hellenistic ancient Egypt, ruling from 51 to 30 BC.
Background
After the assassination of Gaius Julius Caesar, Cleopatra would side with the second Triumvirate, formed by Octavian, Mark Antony, and Marcus Aemilius Lepidus. Mark Antony and Cleopatra would have an affair and she would birth three children together. Cleopatra would fund Mark Antony's war and Mark Antony would divorce his wife, Octavian's sister, which led to the final war of the Roman Republic and the creation of the Roman Empire.
Dean Domino describes Frederick Sinclair's infatuation with Vera Keyes as a "Cleopatra obsession."[1]
"Empire on the Nile", a period piece on Cleopatra and Mark Antony's affair, would be produced before the Great War starring Gilda Broscoe as Cleopatra and Keith McKinney as Mark Antony.[2]
Appearances
Cleopatra is mentioned only in the Fallout: New Vegas add-on Dead Money, the Fallout 4 add-on Far Harbor and indirectly in Fallout 76, introduced in the Once in a Blue Moon update.

Dean Domino: "Vera was a big star, back before the Bomb. Not the best actress, but... well, she had other talents. Nice voice, nice legs. For some reason, Sinclair... he built this place... she caught his eye. Once he was hooked, that was it, had to have her. So made the introductions, and guess what? He builds this place for her, like some kind of Cleopatra obsession. Wasn't always a deathtrap."
(Dean Domino's dialogue) - ↑ Gilda Broscoe: "Keith and I first met when we acted together in Empire on the Nile. It was a period piece, huge production budget. He played Mark Antony, and I, of course, played Cleopatra. Ooh how I hated that black hair though. Sean Holzman, he was the director you see, well he threw the most lavish set parties. They were absolutely bacchanalian."
