Ulysses (Tales of the Wastes)

Ulysses is a Frumentarii for Caesar's Legion in 2253.

Background
Born into the Twisted Hairs tribe, Ulysses' tribe was one of the first to ally with Caesar, then know as Edward Sallow, in 2247. Although loyal and competent warriors, Caesar betrayed the Twisted Hairs upon his conquering of Arizona by destroying their tribal identity and crucifying all who resisted.

Ulysses watched as his home, Dry Wells, was destroyed and all he loved was put to the sword by Vulpes Inculta. Despite this, he remained loyal to the Legion. It was all he had left.

Qualities
Ulysses is a deeply troubled individual. Although passionate, loyal, and dedicated, he has recently had to question everything. His loyalty to Caesar bought him the destruction of his home, and thus that has made him second guess who he is as a person. In addition to that, his identity as Twisted Hair has been stripped away, leaving him as merely another faceless "Frumentarii" in Caesar's Legion. He has no identity, no nation or flag to bind himself to. This feeling of directionless is agonzing to Ulysses, who is normally confident and self-assured.

He has thrown himself into his duty as a Frumentarii, and is ever questing westward on the order of Caesar.

Ulysses has a fascination for books and history, although he is relatively new to either topic, as the realm of knowledge has only recently been opened to him by the Legion. Ulysses is also a prolific fighter, talented with tomahawks, sub-machine guns, and his signature staff "Old Glory."

Behind the scenes

 * Ulysses here is depicted as young and unassured. Over the course of Roads Less Traveled he will gradually mature into the character he is by Fallout: New Vegas.
