Biography[]

The Mechanic was a masterful mechanic and has an in-depth knowledge of the vehicles that roam the wasteland. He easily recognizes Max's Ford Falcon as being "the last of the V8 interceptors". It is possible that, like Barry, he was, or knew, an MFP mechanic.

He is paraplegic, but manages to move around using pulley systems in his workshop. He also has an mechanic assistant who assists him to compensate for his handicap and to do some basic repairs.

The mechanic was on the big rig during the escape from the refinery. During the escape he dropped on a molotov cocktail, lighting his legs on fire, he put out the fire. However, when the warrior woman went to help him, she was shot with three bolts from a car mounted crossbow and fell into the barb wire along the side of the tanker. The mechanic went to pull her back on board the tanker, but a marauder managed to pull the warrior woman and the mechanic over the side to their deaths.
