Those of the Twisted Hairs who resisted were crucified alongside Interstate 40. Īccording to Ulysses, Vulpes Inculta was responsible for the pacification of the Twisted Hairs at Dry Wells once the Legion's campaign ended in Arizona. Especially the most likely candidate for next Caesar of the Legion: Lanius. Since then, Vulpes' tactics have been a point of contention among the Legion, and while Caesar knowns of the use of spying and deceit in war, not everyone agrees with the methods employed by Vulpes. While his centurion wanted him crucified for disobeying orders, Caesar saw potential in the young Decanus and found a more interesting use of him.
He became a Frumentarius following a brilliant tactical maneuver when in a battle against a tribe, he broke ranks and led his squad through a hole in the enemy defenses and capturing the tribe's chieftain. Having survived training, he was made a legionary and fought well enough to be promoted to the rank of Decanus.
