Born and raised Legion alongside his twin brother, Remus. Father is a Centurion in Flagstaff.
Left Legion at 22 just before finishing his training to become a Decanus. Wracked with guilt and nightmares. Changes his name and tries to hide his appearance as he is on the run from his vindictive brother. Hoping to make it across the California border.
Bonus Facts Not Listed
The twins’ birthday is June 30th, 2257. Romulus is the older twin by only about a minute. They were born and raised in Flagstaff.
Their father is Lupus of Flagstaff, a Centurion in high standing with Legate Lanius. Given his name, the twins are often referred to as the “sons of the Wolf”. Remus ends up embracing this nickname more and he wears a wolf pelt on his armor.
Remus spends much of their childhood trying to out-do Romulus and earn their father’s approval. Where Romulus excels in his studies of tactics and leadership, Remus is unrivaled in combat and demands respect from an early age. The more Romulus secretly begins to question his upbringing, the more Remus lives and bleeds Legion.
Romulus and Remus excel in different aspects that their father deemed "good enough". Neither of them got praise often, but the times Romulus would get praise, it was always in a "good job, you're doing much better than your brother" or it was praise in public always when Remus was present. Their father was doing this as a way to "harden" Remus, who was more timid as a young child. While this did exactly that, it also made Remus grow to resent his brother at an early age.
Romulus spoke out against his father and refused to execute a camp full of Legion slaves just before leaving the Legion. As punishment, not only was he subjected to lashings, to prove his loyalty to the Legion and his father, he was put into the arena against a low ranking legionnaire that was one of Romulus’ close companions who was caught freeing slaves in their camp. When Romulus saw this, he refused to fight and threw down his weapons. It was then that their father sent Remus into the arena, who not only struck down Romulus’ companion, but very nearly killed Romulus himself.
When on the run, Romulus picks up the name “Ash” upon entering what was once Ash Fork, Arizona.
Romulus writes poetry in a hand-bound journal :)
Romulus’ weapons of choice are a compound bow and a machete, but he is also trained in hand-to-hand combat. He would always prefer to avoid combat if given the chance, however.
He ends up becoming a companion of the Courier 6, Rosemary Rosario, and the two develop feelings for one another.
There are several close calls with Remus in the New Vegas area, but it all comes to a head at the Second Battle for Hoover Dam. (Unsure which twin actually survives this encounter. Up to the reader, I guess (wink))
