Vulpes Inculta

 is the leader and the most skillfull of the Frumentarii in Caesar's Legion, wandering around the Mojave Wasteland in 2281.

Background
Vulpes Inculta is a bad man. When Caesar attached him to the force that took Nipton, Vulpes had a brilliant idea to deal with the residents; a lottery. The winner of the lottery got to go free. The second-place winner got to live, but was crippled from the waist down. The "lucky" losers were decapitated, the regular losers were enslaved, and the unlucky losers were crucified. The mayor was burned alive on a large tire fire.

According to Aurelius of Phoenix, Vulpes also planned and executed the stealth mission responsible for turning Camp Searchlight into the radioactive dump that is now, severely weakening NCR's position in the area and allowing the Legion to cross the Colorado and establish an outpost at Cottonwood Cove.

Interactions with the player character
Vulpes Inculta is likely to be the first member of Caesar's Legion encountered by the Courier in the Mojave Wasteland. He's originally found at Nipton after obliterating the town with his frumentarii henchmen. When speaking to the Courier, he'll talk about some horrible things he has done to people, such as burning them alive.

Later in the game, after a certain mission in The Strip, Vulpes will approach the player disguised as a fancy gambler. He'll announce the Courier to be forgiven of any crimes against the Legion and award him the Mark of Caesar, allowing the player to cross the Colorado river and reach the Legion's fort. There, he can be found at Caesar's tent, and he'll offer missions involving espionage, sabotage and assassination:

Quests

 * The Finger of Suspicion: Prevent some Omerta thugs from harming a valuable informant inside Vault 21.
 * I Put a Spell on You: Help an infiltrate at Camp McCarran to sabotage the monorail and draw off suspicion.

Bugs

 * There's a glitch which can prevent you from being able to speak with, even when he triggers the conversation. The camera will zoom in on him like it would usually do when initiating conversation, but will then quickly retract, bringing the player back into control. Reloading doesn't seem to fix this issue.

Appearances
only appears in Fallout: New Vegas.

Behind the Scenes

 * The Frumentarii were the Secret Service of the Roman Empire, and an agent of this secret service would be called a Frumentarius.
