Mod:Fallout: The Frontier/Marcus Valerius

Legate Marcus Valerius is the leader of the Northern Legion. While he claims to be a former Follower of the Apocalypse, in actuality, he is a former scribe of the Brotherhood of Steel and was never a Follower; this was a lie in order to obtain a position as a Legate.

Background
Marcus is said to have born into the NCR and was once a doctor, although it is unclear if the NCR part is true. As a doctor, Marcus would let his patients die if he felt they did not deserve to live, something that was a point of argument with his brother Jakim.

Marcus was also a scribe of the Brotherhood of Steel. Jakim was a paladin as well as Kaline, Marcus' sister-in-law who was arranged to be married to Jakim. Jakim is said to be the only one who made Marcus happy. During a battle in San Jose, Jakim lost his life because the Brotherhood mistook the city as being safe when in actuality, it was not and Jakim died to a remnant NCR force. Marcus and Kaline subsequently left the Brotherhood.

He eventually joined the Legion, but kept Kaline a secret and kept her locked in a house in the Frontier for her own safety. Kaline believed that Marcus could reform the Legion and make them more progressive. At some point while she was living in the house, Kaline also gave birth to two children.

Marcus amassed a following of a hundred, which then grew to a thousand. Caesar thought Valerius' status as a former NCR citizen might have problems so Lanius is supposed to keep him in check. Valerius was sent to the Frontier by Caesar to unite its tribes, similar to Arizona. In addition to growing the Legion, Valerius would secure the north for Caesar's march into California, blocking off the NCR's avenue of escape.

Unfortunately for Valerius, the NCR Exiles were already in the Frontier by the time Valerius arrived. Valerius wishes death upon Elias Blackthorne.
