Lucius

Lucius is one of Caesar's most trusted men and leader of the praetorian guards.

Background
Lucius is an old legionary in Caesar's Legion. He became a praetorian guard in 2268, and became their leader in 2276. In 2277, he took part in the First Battle of Hoover Dam under the command of the legate, Joshua Graham, and therefore is one of the few who know who the Burned Man really is. During the battle, he found himself in Boulder City but he managed to survive the trap of 1st Recon snipers set by the NCR. In 2281, if Benny is captured by the Caesar's Legion, it's he who tortures Benny to learn the purpose of the platinum chip.

Despite his age, Lucius has been able to maintain his position in the praetorian guard for thirteen years as no one has challenged him in a battle to the death to take his place at the head of the guard. Caesar suspects this may be more out of his subordinates' respect for Lucius than a result of his strength.

Quests

 * I Hear You Knocking: Caesar has acquired a howitzer but its firing mechanism is broken. Lucius asks the Courier to befriend the Boomers and get the parts needed for a repair.
 * A Trusted Aide: After the Courier has achieved a reputation of "liked" or better, Lucius will give them the key to Caesar's Legion safehouse.

Other interactions
With an Unarmed skill of 50, Lucius can be asked to teach the praetorian unarmed technique, Legion Assault. However, he will not teach the Courier if they have a poor reputation with Caesar's Legion.

If the Courier has the required Unarmed skill but has low Intelligence, the dialogue option to learn Legion Assault will change into "Can you teach me how to fight like the Pray-whatever?"

Appearances
Lucius appears only in Fallout: New Vegas.
