It was not that Brutus was necessary for the conspiracy, even though, along with his brother-in-law Gaius Cassius Longinus, he was its leader. It was Julius Caesar giving the impression that he wanted to become a king which was necessary. It was this which persuaded the conspirators, including Brutus, to plot against Caesar. This would have ended the Roman Republic. Moreover, the republicans equated a king with tyranny.
