“	You're already a corpse!	”
– The Organic Mechanic (To Nux)

The Organic Mechanic originally worked for Dementus and his Biker Horde, but was later used as "payment" in a deal between Dementus and Immortan Joe. He was portrayed by Angus Sampson in Mad Max: Fury Road as well as its prequel Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga.

Background

The man simply known as the "Organic Mechanic" was an original member of Dementus' leadership "counsel," for lack of a more appropriate term.

It is clear that he had medical knowledge and training, although it is never specifically stated that he was a doctor. It may have been that he was a med student or trained in some similar field, such as "Undertaking." Yet, the Organic Mechanic carries himself with the confidence of a doctor and refers to himself a an expert in everything "therapeutic."

History

The Organic Mechanic was part of Dementus' Biker Horde until Dementus took over Gastown. After the seizure of Gastown, Dementus demanded an audience with Immortan Joe and the other warlords -- the Bullet Farmer and the People Eater.

Dementus wanted to strike a deal with the warlords to be seen as the legitimate ruler of Gastown. However, in order to strike the deal, Immortan Joe demanded to have a young Furiosa and the Organic Mechanic thrown-in, to remain at the Citadel under Immortan Joe's watchful eye.

Dementus readily agreed and that is how the Organic Mechanic became "employed" by Immortan Joe.

Duties

The Organic Mechanic is a doctor responsible for all medical procedures carried out in the Citadel. He also tattoos captured individuals with information about their health, he is capable of delivering babies, performing blood transfusion and more. His skills are highly regarded which causes him to act arrogantly, clearly noticeable when he calls Immortan Joe "Joe" or "boss," disposing of his unborn child and playing with the umbilical cord, treatment of the War Boys, and overall attitude.

He is highly ranked among Immortan Joe's army, however. He is taken aboard The Gigahorse where he performs a caesarean section on Splendid only to reveal the child is one month short of being fully developed.

He is solely responsible for Miss Giddy's death. His eventual fate is left a mystery.

Trivia

• A few scenes including The Organic Mechanic were cut from the theatrical release of Fury Road. One of them showed him defecating in the Wasteland.
• Organic Mechanic has patchy hair because he pulled them out and used them to stitch people up.
• On his body he has a tattoo of the tree of evolution (by request of the actor) and also a tally of Immortan's heirs he delivered that did not survive.
• The line "You're already a corpse" is a reference to Kenshiro's catchphrase in Hokuto no Ken (Fist of the North Star) which drew heavy inspiration from Mad Max and, Kenshiro himself from Max Rockatansky.
