Recruit Decanus

A recruit decanus (plural decani) is an officer 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 decani are recognizable with their helmet surrounded by feathers. The seniority of a decanus is measured by the color of the helmet's feathers, which are predominately black and some red for a recruit decanus, black with white tips for a prime decanus, and black, red, and white for a veteran.

Notable Recruit decani include:
 * Alexus, commander of Legion forces in Techatticup mine.
 * Dead Sea, commander of Legion forces in Nelson.

Appearances
Recruit decani only appear in Fallout: New Vegas.

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.
