Trivia[]
- By completing the Legion Kata quest, the names of some of them are revealed:
- Captain Acheron
- Captain Xavos
- Captain Zash
- The weapon they spawn with appears to affect their chance of winning:
- Fists (Legion Kata): Almost always results in victory.
- Champion's Sword: Will only lose if the Authority Commander also has a sword.
- Ritual Spear: Loss.
- The Legion Captain, after killing the Authority Lieutenant, instantly aggravates on the nearest enemy NPC, regardless of if through a wall, killing the NPC will most probably make the Captain despawn if it doesn't have any more targets, therefore, you will not be able to talk to them.
- Your starter rep with the legion is actually "negative"/neutral, they use the negative rep text but won't attack you.
