When Lanius woke up most of his face was torn off and Caesar was standing beside him. This act drove Lanius into a bloodthirsty frenzy killing the Chieftain and 15 others of his own tribe single-handedly before he was knocked unconscious. When Caesar's Legion finally tracked down the Hidebarks, they knew that they wouldn't be able to win against Caesar, so they chose to surrender. He is an outright boss character, with more HP than any other character in the game and several unique NPC perks that give him special abilities.Īsking Caesar about him reveals that Lanius was a member of a tribe hostile to Caesar's Legion, the Hidebarks, and Lanius was the bloodthirsty champion of that tribe, sometimes ambushing entire groups of legionaries by himself. He is by far the Legion's most physically powerful member, being a massively tall and muscular man sporting an intimidating golden suit of armor with a mask in the image of the Roman God of War Mars and wielding an enormous sword known as the "Blade of the East". If the Courier decides to side with the Legion, Legate Lanius will be the one who gives the player the order to attack Hoover Dam, and also the one who congratulates the player after the Legion has won the battle.

If Caesar dies, Lanius becomes the new "Caesar" and the Legion becomes far more brutal under his leadership. Lanius is the Legion's most savage and bloodthirsty warrior of all, and even Caesar himself says that he's only in it for the killing. Legate resides at the Legates camp, located just beyond Hoover Dam, where the final battle takes place, and cannot be reached until the end of the game.
