Captain

Captain wandering the Wasteland

**Captain** is a resident of the Wasteland and the commander of the *Gravedigger*, the *Spike*, and later the *Annihilator*.

## Biography

### Early life

Captain was born sometime before the apocalypse, as indicated by his memories of the time.

### Visit to the wasteland village

Sometime after forming his crew, Captain took them and the *Gravedigger* to a village, where he was displeased with the inhabitants' choice of pastimes. He urged them to be "heros" by participating in the Mad Games. The villagers enjoyed Captain's speech, and ran out of the village to participate, though they neglected to bring along a tank.

### Capture

Captain was later captured by the Car Gang. While the Car Gang tied Captain behind a truck, he mocked them for their use of cars, insisting that they were inferior to tanks. The gang members laughed at Captain and continued to tie him. Suddenly, *Gravedigger* disabled its cloaking device and revealed itself to the gang, which then ran off with their cars.

### Battling the Annihilator

A few years later, Captain was taking a nap next to the *Spike* when he was awoken by a blast of sand. He picked up a map to Rock City, where, according to a group of Scavengers, the metal band Korn was scheduled to play. He then noticed a group of trilobites burrowing in the sand and heading in the direction of a nearby battleground. Captain walked toward the battleground, passing several wolves and a horse that were running from it, and later, a multitude of defeated tank crews also fleeing from the scene. Upon reaching the battleground, which was littered with the burning hulks of destroyed tanks, Captain was ambushed by the *Annihilator*. He narrowly escaped death and ran back to the *Spike*. Once in the *Spike*, he was attacked again, but the tank's armor deflected the *Annihilator's* shot. Captain was unable to penetrate the *Annihilator* with his first shot, but the second shot ignited his adversary's ammunition rack and blew the *Annihilator's* turret off the hull.

The tank crews that had fled the battle returned to see a turretless, flaming *Annihilator*. They danced to celebrate the victory, and some joined Captain's crew in the *Spike*. Captain subsequently retrieved the *Annihilator* as a battle trophy and brought it back to fighting condition.

## Personality and traits

Captain is a natural fighter and can keep his cool in even the most dire situations. His survival instinct allows him to thrive in the barren post-apocalyptic Wasteland. He is fond of tanks, owning and maintaining at least four and considering them to be superior to cars. He is highly skilled at tank combat, being able to take on the *Annihilator* with the less powerful Spike. However, years of living in the Wasteland seem to have taken a mental toll on Captain, who has delusions of a romantic relationship with his tank *Gravedigger*.

Captain is known to be a fan of the metal band Korn. During the Mad Games, he wore a black shirt with the logo of the Games. During the *Annihilator* scourge, he wore a similar shirt but with the logo of the technology corporation Hybrid Nation, though it is not known if he is affiliated with the company.
