Biography[]
Mad Max[]
Along with Charlie, Roop commandeered the "The Big Bopper," one of the Main Force Patrol's pursuit vehicles. He was very aggressive, shouting at Charlie on many occasions, during their role in the pursuit of The Nightrider.
Post-Mad Max[]
After the events of the original Mad Max (1979) the fates of most of Max's fellow MFP officers is never stated and left to conjecture. With the Fall of civilization one was left to imagine them running-off with whatever friends and family members they had left to survive just like everyone else. However, the 2015 Vertigo comic book mini-series shed a little light on Roop and Charlie . . .
Mad Max: Fury Road (Comic Series)[]
According to the revised timeline presented in 2015 Mad Max prequel comic books, Roop, Charlie, and several other members of the MFP became marauders after the Apocalypse with the MFP's disbandment. They formed a small group whilst still driving their Ford Falcon patrol cars. They were in process of defeating a smaller group of survivors when they were discovered by Colonel Joe Moore's gang.
Moore sent a War Party down to investigate the chaos, whereby they destroyed almost everyone -- save the fat man -- to include the ex-MFP officers in what would be a most tragic end to once former officers of the law.
