Their tribal identity was erased and those who resisted were crucified along the sides of I-40. However, once the Legion's campaign ended in Arizona, Caesar promptly rewarded their aid by breaking the alliance and betraying them the Twisted Hairs were conquered and enslaved just as he had done to all the other tribes of Arizona. His scouting ability was supplemented by his ability to live off the land, having acute knowledge of herbal remedies and medicines.

Ulysses was one of the most successful scouts in the Twisted Hairs, traveling vast distances in search of the enemies of both his and Caesar's tribes. Ulysses was once a member of the Twisted Hairs, a powerful tribe in Arizona that forged an alliance with the fledgling Caesar's Legion in 2247, and became its main scouting force during the conquest of Arizona. Now, he longs for crippling both the Legion and the NCR's war efforts, seeing both their ideals and campaigns of expansion as the wrong answers to mankind's future, and to finally settle his old score with the Courier. These events have made Ulysses obsessed with history and symbols and especially how individuals can impact the former and effectively become the latter. His worldview has mainly been formed by two traumatic events in his past: the loss of his old home to Caesar's Legion and the loss of his new home to the Courier and the New California Republic.
