Lord Scabrous Scrotus is the main antagonist of the 2015 post-apocalyptic video game Mad Max, and a supporting antagonist in the 2024 prequel movie Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga.
He is the unstable warlord of Gas Town, the youngest son of Immortan Joe, and the nemesis of Max Rockatansky altogether.
The character was voiced by Travis Willingham, who also portrayed Buzz in Spyro: Year of the Dragon, Jūgo in the English dubbed version of the Naruto series, Jul 'Mdama in Halo 4 and Halo 5: Guardians, Shane in inFamous: Second Light, Paul De Pleur in Far Cry 4, Satan in Saint's Row: Gat out of Hell, Cameron Campbell in Camp Camp, and Two-Face in Batman: The Telltale Series. In Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga, he was portrayed by Josh Helman, who also portrayed Slit in Mad Max: Fury Road, and William Stryker in X-Men: Days of Future Past and X-Men: Apocalypse.
Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga[]
At the Citadel, Scrotus was with his father, Immortan Joe, brother, Rictus, and other members of the Cult of the V8 leadership when Dementus, the leader of the Horde - a conglomerate of thousands of bikers - managed to coerce a negotiation by his seizure of Gastown. Scrotus is enraged with Joe's agreement to a lower but still generous deal to Dementus, while also allowing the biker ruler to become new Lord Protector of Gastown; despite his arguments, Scrotus does not defy his father's decrees.
After the unnamed to them Furiosa escaped from Rictus' kidnapping, Scrotus noticed his brother's panicked state; not wanting to be in trouble, Rictus lied, which doesn't fool Scrotus , but he doesn't care to investigate.
As Dementus' mismanagement of Gastown causes disruptions to the stability of the empire, Scrotus demands that they wage war on Dementus, though Immortan Joe opts to bide his time.
When Furiosa returns from a near-death experience with Dementus, she explains to Joe's war council about Dementus' strategy of faking a disaster at Gastown, so the Citadel would end up undefended when Joe's forces head for the fuel depot. Scrotus is among those who dismisses her claims, repeating his desire to battle Dementus directly, but Joe himself believes her, thus adjusts their counterattack to fake a charge towards Gastown, while fighting Dementus from a position of strength.
The 40 Day Wasteland War begins, and Scrotus acted as one of Immortan Joe's frontline commanders. Eventually, the Horde is all but destroyed, with Dementus fleeing to be never seen again (to them, as in reality, Furiosa captured him and imprisoned him as living fertilizer); despite his lack of patience and poor tactical nuance, Scrotus proved to be a capable warrior and leader in open battle.
Mad Max: Video Game[]
Scabrous Scrotus first appears at the start of the game, leading a band of War Boys as they capture Max and steal his Interceptor. Scrotus and his men strip Max of every one of his belongings, after which Scrotus hits Max on the head with his own shotgun and leaves him to die in the desert. However, Max wakes up and jumps onto Scrotus' war rig before it drives away. Scrotus and Max fight each other, but Max gains the upper hand when he disarms Scrotus of his chainsaw. Scrotus then tackles Max, but the chainsaw gets stuck in Scrotus' head and splits it open. Amazingly, Scrotus is able to survive this and tosses Max off the war rig. Afterwards, Scrotus collapses from pain/blood loss. Following the grievous injury to his brain, Scrotus becomes even more bloodthirsty and violent.
Seeking revenge on Max, he sanctioned one of his most sadistic underlings, Stank Gum, and a majority of his War Boys to initiate a manhunt against Max throughout the Wasteland, some of them recognizing Max was the one who "killed" their ruler. Stank Gum also led his legion into raiding Chumbucket's tabernacle, Pink Eye's stronghold, and later Gutgash's. The former's had her followers massacred while the latter was just about to come next, both foiled through Max's intervention. It's later revealed throughout the game prior to his "death", Scrotus has left "Scarecrows" formed from corpses to intimidate newcomer enemies and has left previous victims' bodies to rot after massacring them once he claims turfs.
When Max participated in the Gastown Race and won, Scrotus reveals himself to be alive but soon recognizes Max. Upon denying him his rightful victory and winning prize, he goes about trying to kill him as revenge for impaling his forehead and sicced his War Boys after him till he threw him off the pit once Stank Gum aimed an arrow at Max, which he later survives thanks to Hope saving him. Scrotus would later hunt down and find a frightened Chumbucket who ditched Max earlier, torturing him till he squealed like a pig for information about him, also revealing Glory and Hope in the process. As an act of spite, he brutally kills Hope, beaten Glory to death, and raided Deep Friah's stronghold that sees his followers killed. Thus, Max was left enraged with vengeance in his heart.
During the final battle, Scrotus has his men fight Max in a road battle until his vehicle, Land Mover, hit the edge of a cliff to where Max sacrifices Chumbucket and Magnum Opus to blow up said vehicle, believing it to be the end of Scrotus. However, Scrotus uses Max's original vehicle, the V8 Interceptor, against him until the latter pierced right through his stomach, crashing the car. As Max was about to finish what he started, Scrotus tries to use the very chainsaw piece that impaled him to pierce through Max's forehead until he brutally pulled it off, thus ending the tyrannical ruler of Gastown.
Personality[]
Scrotus was the closest to an ideal son for Immortan Joe, as he had the physical prowess, fighting skills, strong will, and cunning, all ideal for a successor, however, his intellect was often undermined by his blood-thirsty and war-like nature. His intelligence was further damaged when the bladed weapon became lodged in his skull; he lost what little patience he had left, began to dissociate from reality, and his existing rage and warmongering became so overwhelming that he no longer could serve as a stable leader.
Quotes[]
