Remus
Slain by sibling
Remus is a figure from Roman mythology, twin brother of Romulus.
According to legend, the brothers were raised by a she-wolf and founded Rome, but Romulus killed Remus in a dispute over the city's boundaries.
The name appears in modern fiction, notably as Remus Lupin in the Harry Potter series—a werewolf whose name alludes to the wolf-rearing myth.
