Only few of the liberatores are known.
Marcus Junius Brutus - committed suicide after the Second Battle of Philippi
Gaius Cassius Longinus - committed suicide after the First Battle of Philippi
Servius Sulpicius Galba - condemned to death by the Pedian Law
Quintus Ligarius - ?
Publius Servilius Casca - committed suicide after the Battle of Philippi
Gaius Casca - ?
Decimus Junius Brutus Albinus - After the Battle of Mutina, he tried to reach Cassius & Brutus in Macedonia. He was killed while on the way to Macedonia, by a Gallic chieftain loyal to Mmarcus Antonius.
Tillius Cimber - killed in the Battle of Philippi
Gaius Trebonius - murdered by Publius Cornelius Dolabella
Gnaeus Domitius Ahenobarbus (not sure if he was one of the assassins, or just a supporter of the assassins) - condemned to death by the Pedian Law, but escaped. Fought several naval battles against the 2nd Triumvirate, but was later reconciled by Marcus Antonius and then became governor of Bithynia.
First supported Marcus Antonius during his war against Octavianus, but changed sides just before the Battle of Actium. Died soon afterwards.
