Thesis: The true history of the White Legs

The most iconic parts of the White Legs were things that Frumentrius Ulysses gave them or taught them.
 * 1) The .45 Auto submachine gun
 * 2) Hair
 * 3) Savagery

Because of this, meaning this isn't how they were before his arrival, therefore we need to look at them and see what remnants exists of the "Original White Legs" (OWL)

Tatoos and Markings
it was said by josh sawyer that their legs were white to help blend in with the saltflats of the great salt lake, implying the use of stealth

Remaing Weapons
4) of their inventories that dont contain storm drums, they often contain fire based weapons like shishkebabs or firebombs or are "Sappers" which is a trap laying "class" of white leg

Of Sulik, Salt, and Moons
fnv two of the main places to find fire geckos are in caves near a lake mead, a giant lake. Great salt lake was also a big lake wth some caves around i somewhere

Armour
In Honest Hearts there is a new kind of armor called "Gecko-Backed", which are forms of the Leather and Metal armors (and their reinforced forms) which to craft require the appropriate armors and one each Tanned Green Gecko Hide, Tanned Golden Gecko Hide, and Tanned Fire Gecko Hide. This armor grants +15 to each Poison Resistance, Radiation Resistance, and Fire Resistance. These resistances are thematically tied to the form of mouth-weapon the respective Gecko uses. Green Gecko using a poison projectile offers posion resistance, Golden Gecko with their radioactive bite offers Rad Resistance, and finally Fire Gecko with their flame breath offers fire resistance.

Aside from the Gecko-Backed armors, only 3 armours explicitly offer a bonus to fire resistance. The Scorched Sierra power armor which offers +25%, and both the White Legs outfit and White Legs hide armor which both offer +15%, the exact same amount offered by the Gecko-Backed armors.

Conclusion
Before Ulysses got to them the White Legs were fire gecko trappers that was their shtick
