Romulus and Regulus are NOT the same person..

SpoilerAll Spoilers

...you might be wondering "Of course they are not the same person, what is this guy talking about?" ...you'd be correct in thinking this, I think I might be dumb, or just got confused at some point.

Long story short, I am half way through listening to the Light Bringer audiobook, and just realised the two men are not the same person. I have no idea what triggered me to believe they were, they are completely different people. For some reason I thought Romulus was Quicksilver.

I just thought Darrow, Virginia etc, did not know Romulus had died in the rim, when he walked to his death after he was sentenced to death. I thought it was going to be a big plot point revelation or something. Everyone kept saying stuff about Quicksilver, finding him etc, and I was so confused with Matteo being alive when Lyria found him, yet I still didn't question it. In my head Matteo was his husband, and Dido was his wife at the same time.

I am on chapter 35 when Darrow and Virgina are talking about, Darrow going to the asteroid. I decided to just do a quick search on the RedRising Wikipedia, and now very confused how I made both men become one.

*For background context, I started listening to the series in November, so the books have taken me a few months to get through.I like to space out a series, so listen to one book, then start a new series, and go bsck and fourth etc.

I know none of this adds or contributes to the discussion of the books, I just wanted to vent my frustration for being so dumb, and really need someone to say they thought the same thing... (Or confused two different characters)
