Primus pilus
The first cohort of the Unmade Legions is headed by the primus pilus (“first spear”), the most experienced Centurion among the 5 centurions in the first cohort, and thus the most important soldier in the legion. He has the right to participate in staff talks and present his military recommendations and reservations of soldiers. If the ordinary Legionare had an entire legion case, he would first go to the Centurion under whom he served; he then informed primus pilus, who in turn referred the case to the Legate.
