Eidolon: Cassander Timaeus Berenice is a piece of Friends at the Table fanart by suedeuxnim. It depicts the COUNTER/Weight character Cassander Timaeus Berenice in the process of becoming an eidolon—that is, a historical figure heavily used for nationalist propaganda—in the millennia following COUNTER/Weight canon. It depicts this process by showing Cassander becoming a neoclassical-style marble statue seated on a throne before a massive wave, against a background of star charts. All of their original body that remains is part of their head and face, which looks terrified.
Suedeuxnim's caption for the art on Tumblr read:
Eidolon: Cassander Timaeus Berenice
Ancient Apostolosian Warlord@suedeuxnim on Tumblr [2]

Another fan replied to make a comparison to Hieron, another Friends at the Table canon:

To become Paladeen is to serve.
