Hidebarks

The Hidebarks were a tribe located in Arizona.
==Background==
One of Legate Lanius' varying origin stories states that he was the greatest warrior of the Hidebarks. When the Legion found and surrounded the Hidebarks' camp, the chieftain chose to surrender. This enraged Lanius so much that he struck down the chieftain himself and began attacking his own tribe members.Courier: "I've heard rumors of your legate, Lanius. What's his story?"Caesar: "Lanius is the greatest of my battlefield commanders. Some might call him a great man, but I'm not sure he qualifies. Once, he was the greatest warrior of the Hidebarks, a tribe of the Arizona. Maniacal in battle. Sometimes he'd ambush Legion patrols by himself. When, after several months we found and surrounded the Hidebarks' camp, their Chieftain raised a banner of surrender. The warrior who was not yet Lanius went insane with rage. He struck down his Chieftain and attacked his own tribe."(Caesar's dialogue) 
Lanius killed 15 members of the tribe before he was rendered unconscious, his face being maimed in the process. Upon awakening, Caesar offered Lanius a helmet to conceal his ruined face and requested that he fight for the Legion. Lanius agreed on the condition that he be allowed to kill the surviving male members of the Hidebarks, though he was convinced by Caesar to kill the adult males only.Courier: "What happened when Lanius attacked his own tribe?"Caesar: "He killed fifteen before they brought him down. He didn't die, obviously. I had him tended to. He was maimed, most of face torn off. It was days before he regained consciousness. When he did, I went to his bedside and showed him the helmet I'd had forged to cover his face. I said he could have it if he'd fight for me. He accepted... on condition that he be allowed to kill the surviving males of his tribe. I said, make it the adult males and you have a deal."(Caesar's dialogue)
