Legate Lanius

Lanius is a Caesar's Legionnaire living in the Mojave Wasteland in 2281.

Background
Asking Caesar about the legate reveals that Lanius was a member of a tribe hostile to Caesar's legion and Lanius was a bloodthirsty champion of the tribe who sometimes ambushed whole groups of soldiers by himself. When Caesar's legion was attacking his tribe, they knew that they would not be able to win so they sounded the surrender alarm which drove Lanius insane with anger and he beat the Chieftain to death which caused his tribe to turn hostile to him. After taking out fifteen of his tribesmen, Lanius woke up in a bed with most of his face torn off, Caesar showed him the mask he had forged for him and offered him a place in his army. He is the only Fallout character who is an open homosexual. He admits this after asking him about it in a speech check that requires 70 speech skill.

Appearances
Lanius appears in Fallout: New Vegas.
