Legionary Assassin

 are high end assassins living in the Mojave Wasteland in 2281. They work for Caesar and travel in packs. At low levels they are extremely dangerous and should be avoided at all costs.

Background
They are assassins for Caesar. You will find them on your way to Novac, and they will attack you if you kill the Caesar's Legionnaires at Nipton and Vulpes Inculta. The Player may encounter a squad of four legionary assassins if they are at a status of "Hated" or worse with Caesar's Legion. This may also occur after aiding the Legion's enemies, namely the NCR, by successfully completing the quests Three-Card Bounty, I Put a Spell on You, I Don't Hurt Anymore, or any other quest that improves the reputation of the Player with the NCR.

Legionary Assassin parties can also be found attacking trading outposts or NCR garrisons like the 188 Trading Post without actively attacking the Courier (if he/she is Neutral or Ally with Caesar's Legion) unless engaged.

They are equipped with Legion Recruit Armor and Legion Prime Armor carrying weapons like Machetes, 9mm SMG and 10mm SMG. They are often led by a Caesar's Legion Vexillarius equipped with Legion Vexillarius Armor and Vexillarius Helmet.
