Centurion

Centurions are some of the highest-ranking officers of Caesar's Legion in the Mojave Wasteland $$ They serve as the main commanders of the Legion army.

Background
Centurions are described as Caesar's "most trusted commanders" who are "battle-hardened front-line officers who dress in patchwork armor pieced together from their fallen foes." Centurions are rare in the Mojave Wasteland, as Caesar is saving most of his centurions for his assault on Hoover Dam.

Two different types of centurions appear in Fallout: New Vegas. The first type, referred to as "Legion centurion," will appear randomly in the Wasteland leading hit squads sent after the Courier if they have heavily negative factional reputation with Caesar's Legion. Their health and stats are actually identical to those of a Veteran decanus officer.

The second type of centurion referred to as simply "centurion," appears exclusively during the Second Battle of Hoover Dam. Their level and stats are random, based primarily on the Courier's current level. They are equipped with thermic lances or super sledges as well as Hunting Rifles, Marksman Carbines or Anti-Materiel Rifles (albeit rarely; only during the All or Nothing endgame quest and the No Gods, No Masters endgame quest). Also, they carry several healing items on them, such as purified water, healing powder, and bitter drink.
