Recruit Decanus

Recruit decanii are officers of Caesar's Legion in the Mojave Wasteland in 2281. They work either as an assistant to a centurion or the head of a small camp of the legion.

Background
Caesar based this rank on the unit leaders of the ancient Roman army. The decanii are recognizable with their helmet surrounded by feathers. The seniority of a decanus measure what colour of its feathers, majority black and some red for a new, black with white tips for a more experienced, and black, red and white for a veteran.

Notable decanii include:
 * Decanus Severus, second in command at the Legion base Cottonwood Cove.
 * Alexus, Commander of all Legion forces in Techatticup Mine.
 * Dead Sea, Commander of all Legion forces in Nelson.

Behind the Scenes
Decanus means leader of ten in Latin. Thus, a Decanus would be a squad leader, and a recruit Decanus would be a leader of a squad of recruits.

Appearances
Recruit denacii only appear in Fallout: New Vegas.
