Who suggested that Antonys life be spared?

In Shakespeare's play "Julius Caesar," it is Mark Antony himself who suggests that his life be spared after Caesar's assassination. Antony appeals to Brutus and the other conspirators, arguing that he has been a loyal friend to Caesar and that sparing him would be a sign of their strength and honor. He cleverly uses rhetoric to manipulate the conspirators into allowing him to live, ultimately leading to his powerful oration that incites the public against them.
