Biography[]
The Prime Imperator first appears to introduce Immortan Joe during one of the ceremonies at the Citadel right before Inmortan Joe gave his speech to the masses.
He later took part in the pursuit of the War Rig to recover Immortan Joe's five wives and punish Furiosa for her betrayal. When Furiosa boarded the Gigahorse he served as her final opponent before she could reach the Immortan. Initially overpowering her, the Prime Imperator was knocked off the Gigahorse when Nux rammed it with the War Rig, causing the Prime Imperator to be run over by the Gigahorse's wheels and killed.
