Julius Caesar was a dictator of the Roman Empire. He commanded the Roman armies which conquered Gaul and helped pave the road for the Roman Empire.
Caesar is remembered as one of history's greatest generals and a key ruler of the Roman empire. As a young man he rose through the administrative ranks of the Roman Republic, accumulating power until he was elected consul in 59 B.C. Over the next 15 years he led Roman armies against enemies abroad, especially in Gaul, while fighting Pompey and others for political control at home. In 43 B.C. he reached his ultimate success, being named dictator of Rome for life. That rule was short-lived: the next year he was stabbed to death in the Senate by a group led by his follower Marcus Junius Brutus. he died of 23 stab wounds all over his body. He was also in a relationship with Cleopatra in 46 B.C. When Cleopatra heard of Caesar's death, she went off in a relationship with Marcus Antony and also died.
Julius Caesar is seen as the greatest military commander the Romans ever had. He was also a statesman, a lawyer and an author.
Cesar is famous for his conquest of Gaul during the Gallic Wars he fought between 58 BC and 50 BC. He also fought the Great Roman Civil War (also known as Caesar's Civil War, 49-45 BC) against the forces of the senate which opposed him. He won all the battles of this war and during its course became the ruler of Rome. Caesar concentrated power in his hands and ruled for five years, even though constitutionally, you could be the head of the Roman Republic for one year.
Caesar wanted to restore stability in a Roman Republic which was poorly equipped to deal with the weight of imperial expansion. The central government had lost control over the empire. The governors of the Roman provinces (conquered territories) behaved as if the provinces were their personal fiefs. Tax collection was entrusted top private individuals who "farmed" taxation to line their pockets. Military commanders used military violence, or the threat of it, to obtain what they wanted. Corruption was rampant. Caesar concentrated power in his hands because he wanted a strong central government which was capable of controlling the empire. He also implemented a land reform to redistribute land for farming to the poor, wrote off ¼ of all debts, and donated money to the poor. He reformed the Roman calendar and introduced the Julian calendar, which, apart from some minor modifications introduced by Pope Gregory XIII in 1582, is the calendar we still use today.
Caesar is also famous for his assassination. There were people who thought that Caesar wanted to become a tyrant and murdered him in a conspiracy. After Cesar's death there were more civil wars. The Roman Republic eventually fell and Augustus established the absolute personal rule by emperors.

Who are the main characters of Julius Caesar by Shakespeare?
It depends on whose "story of Julius Caesar" we are talking about. In most such stories Caesar is the main character. However if we are talking about Shakespeare's play Julius Caesar (which is a play and not a story), Caesar is actually dead for most of the play, which suggests that he is not the main character. Some people have argued that the short appearance of his ghost just before the Battle of Philippi and Cassius's remarks about how he will die by the same sword as Caesar mean that Caesar's spirit is at work even after his death, until his murderers are dead. However, that is stretching a point. It is simpler to say that Brutus is the main character in the play, since the real focus is on him and on the kind of political idealism (or possibly naiveté) he demonstrates.
