Caesar's Legion Overviews “The 'great' republic couldn't find enough soldiers to liberate this camp, so they sent you? Pathetic.”
Dead Sea is a decanus of Caesar's Legion in command of the legionaries occupying Nelson in Fallout: New Vegas.
Background[edit]
Dead Sea has not known life outside the Legion. Taken as a child from the tribes on the shores of the Great Salt Lake by Caesar's agents, he was raised and inculcated with Caesar's doctrine, creating an obedient and loyal soldier.[1] His notable victories include the defeat of the Sun Dogs tribe. His martial prowess in that campaign earned him a rare distinction, a unique machete, the Liberator, gifted to him by his centurion.[2][3] He is frustrated with being stationed at Nelson on a routine operation.[4][5][6][7][8]

References[edit]
- ↑ Courier: "Who are you?"
Dead Sea: "I am a loyal servant of Caesar, and I thank my good fortune for the day that he plucked me as a babe from the shore of the Great Salt Lake. For five years I have had the privilege of serving as a Decanus. If fortune continues to smile upon me, I will serve him until I draw my last breath. I hope that satisfies your curiosity about me, because I won't waste any more of Caesar's time talking about myself."
(Dead Sea's dialogue) - ↑ Courier: "I've slaughtered the enemy at Camp Forlorn Hope."
Dead Sea: "A glorious victory. You must be very satisfied. I'll send word of your achievement. Perhaps Caesar will see fit to send another contubernium to occupy the Camp. Here - take this, my blade. It was a gift from my Centurion upon the defeat of the Sun Dog tribe."
(Dead Sea's dialogue) - ↑ Courier: "Why would I want a piece of shit machete?"
Dead Sea: "That blade has split the heads of... The only reason I give it to you is to force myself to earn another. True to Caesar."
(Dead Sea's dialogue) - ↑ Courier: "What's the situation here?"
Dead Sea: "My orders are to hold Nelson. So far the enemy north of here has been too frightened to move against us. Why should it concern you?"
(Dead Sea's dialogue) - ↑ Courier: "How can I help break the stalemate?"
Dead Sea: "What stalemate? It is Caesar's will that I hold this position - that I not advance. If you're so eager to see Camp Forlorn Hope fall, why don't you go attack it all by yourself? Well?"
(Dead Sea's dialogue) - ↑ Courier: "You're demoralizing the enemy by leaving them alone?"
Dead Sea: "I do not question Caesar's will! I do not second-guess! I butchered this town. Those who weren't hacked limb from limb were forced to throw themselves from the cliffs. Three more, I have just crucified. All this, in full view of the enemy's spotters to the north. Yes, our presence here demoralizes the enemy."
(Dead Sea's dialogue) - ↑ Courier: "Why haven't you attacked the enemy?"
Dead Sea: "I have attacked the enemy. I led the assault on Nelson with two contubernia against twice our number. It is Caesar's wish that we hold this position. Our mere presence this side of the Colorado humiliates and demoralizes the enemy.|{justifying yourself} }}"
(Dead Sea's dialogue) - ↑ Courier: "No offense intended. Carry on."
Dead Sea: "You are not my Centurion! You aren't even Legion! I do not 'carry on' at your command. True to Caesar."
