Gaius Magnus

Gaius Magnus is a centurion located in Dry Wells in 2281. He appears only after completion of the Fallout: New Vegas add-on Lonesome Road if the Courier chooses to launch Ulysses' nuclear missiles against Caesar's Legion.

Background
Gaius Magnus is a centurion who had conquered the 87th tribe for Caesar's Legion. He was given the distinct honor of wearing the unique Armor of the 87th Tribe, probably created for him after his victory. In 2281, he is in Dry Wells with some of his legionaries, who become marked men if the Courier chooses to send an atomic strike on the area.

His weapon of choice, aside from his machete, is a minigun, which is in contrast to the Legion's choice for easily maintained firearms. It was pivotal in conquering the tribe, as none could hope to survive the armor piercing bursts which easily crushed the waves of tribals even when outnumbered.

Characteristics
He has very high health, and like other ghouls and marked men, also constantly regenerates health from the high radiation in the area.

Appearances
Gaius Magnus appears only in the Fallout: New Vegas add-on Lonesome Road.

Behind the scenes
His name is an amalgamation of two powerful and historically influential Roman generals who lived during the late Roman Republic, Gaius Julius Caesar and Gnaeus Pompeius Magnus. Both were part of the First Triumvirate of Rome, along with Marcus Licinius Crassus.
