[/float]Location/Role: Immortan Joe is the Demon Lord of the Salt Flats and the leader of the War Boys, who worship Joe as a god. They roam the Salt Flats in an ‘armada’ of chrome, V8 vehicles that are adorned with the trophies of their conquests. Lethal to any wayward souls, the Immortan is known to accept ‘honorary War Boys,’ but what are you willing to do?
Story: Like many prominent figures in the Omniverse, it’s hard to separate fact from farce when it comes to the history of the man known as Immortan Joe. The most accurate records may come from those who used to run with Joe’s gang when he was still topside, and their accounts shall form the basis of our ‘facts.’
A military officer, Joe lived in a world where law and order gradually collapsed into something immaterial. Things like oil and clean water became rare necessities that people would murder to acquire. Joe was one such person who was willing to do what was necessary to survive in this world. After wars pushed society into oblivion, Joe formed a gang of zealous followers that captured various supplies and settlements. This culminated in Joe’s capture of ‘the Citadel,’ a source of purified water that turned him from a man into a god. The Immortan’s capture of an oil refinery and lead mine gave him the guzzolene and bullets he needed to fuel a powerful armada of chrome warriors.
At the height of this empire, the Immortan was brought into the Omniverse. While it’s said that he may have traveled for a time (as primes are want to do), he eventually settled into the Endless Dunes. As is the case with many primes, he probably saw something of his homeworld in the rolling deserts and barren stretches of arid terrain. Never one who played nice, the Immortan made no allies in the Endless Dunes.
Joe’s ‘War Boys’ ran roughshod—their shiny chrome war machines leaving devastation wherever they went. Worshipping Joe and the V8, the War Boys terrorized the Endless Dunes, making life miserable for the ‘natives’ and the Empire, who was at the height of its presence in the region. After nearly two years of trying to play containment with the Immortan, Coruscant organized an elite paramilitary force and sent them to deal with the War Boys once and for all. Nearly two platoons of elite marines and half a hundred of the Empire’s most powerful mechanized war machines marched deep into the Endless Dunes.
After fifty hours of warfare, Joe’s War Boys were broken. The marines suffered a casualty rate of nearly sixty percent, but they defeated and banished Immortan Joe. When these elite marines returned to Coruscant, they found a city that had been besieged by Diablo during their absence in what became known as the Battle of Coruscant.
Banished to the Underverse, Immortan Joe murdered anything that attempted to impede him. He left a trail of bodies in his wake and quickly had a small warband to support him. Ultimately, he garnered the attention of Diablo, who saw Joe’s ‘potential.’
Immortan Joe was all-too pleased to accept Diablo’s gift of power. Able to reforge his War Boys and his chrome armada, Joe became the overlord of the Salt Flats. He and his warband march across the region with nothing to oppose them. Wayward souls or those fleeing persecution from the Central Hellscape often find a fate worse than death when they come into the possession of Immortan Joe.
That isn’t to say that the Immortan doesn’t respect many qualities in others. What would you be willing to abandon in your quest to escape the Underverse?
