"'My history isn't revenge, or hate. The road that brought us both here - isn't about that.' - Ulysses to Legate Lanius"Ulysses Lee Wilson (Simply going by Ulysses) is the legendary Courier 6 and a legend amongst residents of the Mojave and tribals of California. Many citizens of the New California Republic have made stories about his Brutality to NCR soldiers during the battle of the Hoover Dam. Many have even Idolized him as a God-warrior.

2310 - 2312 & 2334
Ulysses is a young man in the Mojave, standing at 6'3 and having jaw length dark-brown dreadlocks with beads in several strands, he has piercing light-brown eyes. His most noteable features is his attire, which he never changes, Ulysses' duster is a sleeveless black coat emblazoned with a design of a spade with the number '21' inside of it, but it is later changed to the symbol of the legion; A red bull with a red 'X' under it. The rest of the outfit consists of a shirt, black pants, and a pair of black boots. There are several accessories, including a pair of tribal-like necklaces, a bandoleer, and kneepads. The entire outfit is dusty and weather-beaten. Many have made notice of the rebreather he wears, never taking it off, he later reveals the Brotherhood of Steel made it for him to breath after they found him clinging to death with a spear wound on his lower throat, which cut his throat, the mask makes it easier for him to breath. After his hands are impaled with nails by Marko, he will forever wear gloves made of tape on his hands.

2315
Ulysses in 2315 looks mostly the same, except his Dreadlocks are much longer and he bares a new breathing mask, made entirely made out of leather by the Legion. He still bears his Duster with the Legion's symbols but his clothes underneath are much more cleaned and new.

Personality
Ulysses was shown to be very melancholy upon his first appearence, his only mission and life-goal was to get justice for his father and his mother. His mother was sadly raped and killed while Ulysses was forced to watch. His pure determination of this mission made him a legend amongst bounty hunters all over the Mojave.

After his mission though, he seen himself as worthless, with no use in the world, his final mission is complete.

He would attempt to commit suicide but would find out his travel-partner Willow was pregnant with his child, so he wouldn't go through with it. He would find purpose once again when he returned to the Legion and began work for Caesar, rising through the ranks quickly.

Early Life
Ulysses was born in 2287 to Ryder Wilson and Snana Wilson in a small ranch home on the outskirts of Megaton in Springvale. He would have two older sisters, whom bullied him and he was never close to. Ulysses was always much closer to his mother than his father.

His father worked in Megaton as a repairman and his mother stayed home and helped school the children and keep them safe. Due to Snana's tribal past with the Twisted Hair Tribe in Arizona, she taught Ulysses how to survive in the wasteland the way her tribe did. Because of this, he began to get in touch with his tribal roots and began making his hair into dreadlocks at age twelve.

The Exodus of Innocence
Ulysses was sixteen and working with his father in his new job to guide and protect caravans through the Capital Wasteland. They would guide most from Megaton to Rivet City, a dangerous job that paid them both a lot of caps.

One late night during a seemingly normal job, they would unknowingly be followed by former-tribals turned Raiders throughout the Capital Wasteland. As they finished the job and eventually got home, Ryder said he needed to go outside and work on the water-pump. A task which normally took twenty minutes turned into an hour, Snana told Ulysses to go and see if he needed help outside. Ulysses walked outside and yelled for his father but was knocked down in the back by a shovel, as he fell he noticed his father's foot, sticking out of the darkness.

A hand gripped Ulysses's shirt from the back and pulled him up, a deep voice saying "Shine the light, Caleb." A latern was pointed to the darkness where Ryder was, a sight that made Ulysses start crying as soon as he seen it. It was his father, cut up and brutally shot in the head, there was an obvious struggle from his father, he went down fighting. The crying alerted Snana who ran out of the house and seen the man holding Ulysses and the other three standing around him, she yelled "Hey!" The four men turned around and Snana seen the sight of her dead husband, she yelled "Ryder!" Before the oldest of the men, who wore a cowboy hat and the lantern tackled her and began forcing her clothes off, Ulysses looked in terror. The voice who spoke to Ulysses before began speaking "Anyone else in the house?" Ulysses shook his head quickly, to save his sisters.

One of the men approached and bent down to Ulysses's eye-level "Where is your caps. I know you have them." Ulysses in a burst of strength and rage, tore a knife from the man gripping him's belt, slashing the other man up the eye. The man staggered backwards, his eye bleeding and Ulysses was swiped off of his feet and had his arm pinned behind his back and his head pushed into the dirt.

He had only the view of his mother being violated by two men, her screams being the only thing he heard, his eyes tried to tear up but couldn't. The voice from before spoke again "Do you feel this hatred..the helplessness.." Ulysses watched his mother get even more physically violated, his vision only being red, his ears were slightly ringing, the disgust in his body turned into malice. The voice spoke softly again "The loss of Innocence..this is the last thing you will feel. A final lesson." The men stopped with Snana and began getting their things back on, the man whom had the now slashed eye walked up and shot Snana in the head with his revolver.

Ulysses was let go but he simply lied in the dirt, quietly looking at his mother's naked corpse, he was flipped over and seen the face of the voice who was speaking to him, with bright blond hair and blue eyes, he could only be a few years older than Ulysses. The men surrounded Ulysses and looked down on him "We can't just leave him alive." The tallest one said, the man in the cowboy hat nodding "Up to you, boss." The man with the slashed eye nodding at the men. The blond man looked at the taller man and pointed "Take him out and find any caps in the house." The blond man turned around and kicked down the door of the house, the taller man pulling a spear off of his back and stabbing it in Ulysses's throat, his grin tormenting Ulysses.

The spear was tore out and Ulysses didn't attempt to stop it, simply lying on the dirt with his own blood pouring around him, his expressionless face staring at the sky. He heard the men laughing and leaving the other side of the house, his sisters ran to their brother and held his throat, crying and screaming at the sight of their dead parents. He eventually went unconcious.

The Brotherhood of Steel
Upon waking up, he would be lying on a cold hospital bed, a bright light shining on him, he blinked a few times and felt his lower face had something on it, his ears aching from the straps, when he went to feel it, a hand stopped him "Woah there." The voice said, "If you take that off, your breathing will falter and you'll choke on your blood." He looked over at the direction of the voice and seen a young female doctor with a Brotherhood of Steel insignia on her coat. "You've been out for a week now. I'm happy to know I was correct for waiting for you to pull through." He looked away back at the light, "Where are my sisters" he said, his voice being much deeper in the mask. The doctor approached and felt his forehead for a fever "They're fine. In the Citadel getting taken care of." Ulysses nodded slightly "Where am I." He said quietly. The doctor wrote on a clipboard "A Brotherhood safehouse near Springvale. You're lucky your sister found us. You were basically dead when we got you into our infirmary." Ulysses laid quietly. The doctor sat down next to him, "We..buried the other two corpses that were there..Your sister explained everything..I'm sorry." Ulysses felt nothing, not even sadness, he bluntly said "Should've left me to the radroaches." The doctor frowning before leaving the room.

Ulysses sat up and looked into the mirror infront of him, he wore his ripped up clothes with wrapping going from his arm up to just below his jaw, a giant rebreather taking up the lower portion of his face, his dreadlocks had dried blood on them. He looked at himself for several minutes before lying back down.
