Marked Men

Marked men are creatures found in the Divide in 2281.

Background
Marked men are the remnants of the NCR and Caesar's Legion soldiers that were in the Divide when the warheads that started the storms detonated during the First Battle of Hoover Dam in 2277. The violent storms skinned them alive while the intense radiation caused a unique variant of ghoulification. The ghoulification kept them alive and in incredible pain from their wounds. In dialogue between the Courier and Ulysses, the Courier can confirm that such injuries and radiation would have even killed ordinary ghouls and they are only kept alive by the radiation of the Divide, which now heals their particular forms.

They wear armors patched together with some parts of NCR and Caesar's Legion armors, road signs, license plates and other scrap metal. Also, some marked man wear a crafted tribal armor.

Biology
Ghoulification as well as the storms has peeled their skin off, leaving behind only muscle. The radiation of the Divide may be the only thing keeping them alive.

Appearances
Marked men appear in the Fallout: New Vegas add-on Lonesome Road.

Behind the scenes

 * Marked man seems to have been inspired by the first ghoul concept for Fallout named "blood man".
