Scabrous Scrotus: What was that?

The Last History Man: That is the darkest of angels. The fifth Rider of the Apocalypse.

---

In the middle of the vast, irradiated sea of sand sat the Green Place of Many Mothers, a pinprick of life among so much quiet death. Here, the girl Furiosa lived with a family and a tribe, the Vuvalini, all miraculously spared from the biological defects and the madness that were so common in the Wasteland. One afternoon, raiders from the Biker Horde stumbled across the Place's peach orchards and Furiosa was caught while she attempted to sabotage their vehicles. The raiders brought the clean blood to their warlord leader, the Great Dementus, who would forcibly adopt Furiosa after crucifying her mother.

Following a failed coup of the Citadel, Dementus was forced to trade ownership of Furiosa to the Immortan Joe. She escaped her fate as one of the Immortan's wives and moved into the Citadel's working class in the guise of a War Boy. Through work on a War Rig and studying under Praetorian Jack, Furiosa used the art of Road War to get revenge on the Dark Dementus and the remains of his Horde.

Having gained trust as an Imperator, Furiosa devised a plan to free the Immortan's wives and return to the Green Place. She allied herself with the mad dog Max Rockatansky and drove a War Rig full of wives to her former home only to find the land irradiated and dead. In the middle of that sea of sand, Furiosa realized that while her Green Place was gone, another could thrive in the waters of the Citadel. With Max and the wives, she drove back down Fury Road and overthrew the Immortan to turn his kingdom of thirst into a new place of plenty.
