Gaius Julius Caesar[1] (Latin pronunciation [ˈgaːius ˈjuːlius ˈkaisar]; English pronunciation [ˈgaːus ˈjuːlius ˈseːsar]; July 12 or July 13, 100 BC – March 15, 44 BC) was a Roman military and political leader and one of the most influential men in world history. He played a critical role in the transformation of the Roman Republic into the Roman Empire. His conquest of Gaul extended the Roman world all the way to the Atlantic Ocean, and he was also responsible for the first Roman invasion of Britain in 55 BC.
Leading his legions across the Rubicon, Caesar sparked civil war in 49 BC that left him the undisputed master of the Roman world. After assuming control of the government, he began extensive reforms of Roman society and government. He was proclaimed dictator for life, and he heavily centralized the bureaucracy of the Republic. This forced the hand of a friend of Caesar, Marcus Junius Brutus, who then conspired with others to murder the dictator and restore the Republic. This dramatic assassination occurred on the Ides of March (March 15th) in 44 BC and led to another Roman civil war. In 42 BC, two years after his assassination, the Roman Senate officially sanctified him as one of the Roman deities.
Caesar's military campaigns are known in detail from his own written Commentaries (Commentarii), and many details of his life are recorded by later historians, such as Appian, Suetonius, Plutarch, Cassius Dio and Strabo. Other information can be gleaned from other contemporary sources, such as the letters and speeches of Caesar's political rival Cicero, the poetry of Catullus and the writings of the historian Sallust.

I do not know who "is" but, I do know who he "was"
He was an Emperor of the Roman Empire some 2,100 years ago. He was assassinated by the members of the senate and his friend Brutus.

Who WAS Julius Cæsar?
[He's been dead since the Ides of March 44 BC]
Try a search engine; maybe likes of google.com
And his sister Julia?
Maybe she invented the Cæsar Salad?

Remember Bill Shakespeare's words:
Friends, Romans, Countrymen,
I come to bury Cæsar, not to praise him.

I guess you now know who J.C. was but did you know the word forensics came from his death. The doctor that examined him said he could tell which one of the 23 stab wounds he received killed him. CSI Roman style....So when someone died it was said to be "in the manner of the forum" hence.......Forensics
