Post-Legion Ending Courier Names

Basically, share which names you think Caesar would rename the Courier, you know, Latin or Roman names.

Lets get the obvious out of the way: Mercury, named after the Roman messenger of the Gods. A very fitting name.

Now lets have some more creative ones.
 
It's a bit of the same thing, but Mercurius (Latin version of Mercury, before the English Mercury according to Wikipedia) sounds a bit cooler IMO. Although consider that he called himself 'the son of Mars' not 'Mars'. He will probably not actually name the Courier after a god. How about simply 'nuntius', after the latin name for a messenger? It'd be a title rather than a name though.

Then again I myself prefer 'no, please, just kill me, but don't do this', which is how I imagine he'd call the Courier if he was awake for his lobotomy (RobCo Certified - best mod ever).

C.D. my first Legion run (who was a Lady) she would actually have a name given to her by Lanius. Probably Legate Juno, or Omnibus Sanctis, being that she would be the mother of the next leader of the Legion, and the mother of the new Mojave. Yeah I roleplayed her as planning to get power in the Legion by marrying Caesar after the campaign, but his weak physical state and her suspicions that he wasn't into women caused her to decide to go for Lanius instead.

To my second Legion character, who was a gu yand a covert Frumentarius, he would probably just become a Praetorian or a Centurion, and as his name was Claudius, he would just be Centurion Claudius.
 
I'd never given it much thought, but since my Legion Courier was a hard ass, "Black Hat" cowboy type, I imagine him etching "Fabricati Diem" or some equivalent onto his .44 magnum.
 
Speaking of female Couriers who side with the Legion, i have a theory on what Caesar plans on doing to her: He will stage her death, but secretly he will give her armor similar to Lanius, and tell her that as far as the Legionares know, she is a man. He isnt gonna waste a powerful ally and warrior like her as a mere slave. Lanius however....im not sure.
 
For him to do that to C.D. he would need to become a Poltergeist, because she sabotaged the brain surgery.

If the Courier is a woman, there are three honourary titles good old Caesar might possibly give to her as a token of her initiation into the Legion as its first known female soldier and agent.

1. Septimia Zenobia

Following her husband's death, Septimia Zenobia was the self appointed "queen" of Palmyra (the name given to Syria when it was still under Roman rule during the second and third centuries after Christ), who led an ambitious crusade against the rest of the Roman Empire in a series of successful skirmishes throughout the Middle East and Africa. She was successfully able to capture Egypt and portions of modern Turkey, before her soldiers were finally overwhelmed by Roman troops.


​
Although she was clearly an enemy of the Roman Empire, Caesar could very well name the Courier after Zenobia to symbolise her cunning and audacity as a warrior woman among her underestimating male peers.​

2. Nike Of Samothrace

While it's the name of a Greek goddess, it's still an appropriate name that Caeser could bestow upon the Courier; Nike was the goddess of victory and protection. "Nike of Samothrace" is the name of an ancient sculpture that you can find today at the Louvre Museum; it's presumed that the sculpture was created by an artist known as Pythokritos to celebrate a naval war the Greeks were victorious in, which makes the name more than appropriate for the Courier (as the Battle of Hoover Dam takes place over water, as well).​

3. Minerva

Although she was often associated with Nike and (of course) Athena, Minerva was the Roman goddess of wisdom and warfare. Certain cults compared her to the female equivalent of Mars (which is said to have caused some tension between both religious sects), so naming the Courier after Minerva would definitely mark her as Lanius' equal and counterpart. Naturally, I doubt Lanius would approve of this, though he'd probably comply with Caesar through gritted teeth.​
