Wow It Was Metellus Cimber
Metellus Cimber engages Caesar's attention by approaching him with a seemingly innocent request. He kneels down and appeals to Caesar to reconsider his decision to banish his brother, Publius Cimber. This diversionary tactic distracts Caesar and momentarily turns his attention away from the gathering conspirators.
Because they know Caesar will say no which will tell everyone that Caesar doesn't care for anybody but himself. They planned this all. They knew Caesar was going to say no.
Casca was the first of many to stab Caesar. He also said, "Speak hands for me!" It was the last thing said before Caesar's murder.
