CHARACTER BIO:
The GENERAL is an aristocratic leader of a civil war-esque type army known as the Black Coats. He's from a long line of "Generals"; men that rule over mankind. The little that is known of the General stems from stories and rumors; tales that have helped keep a tight grip over the towns and homesteads across his lands. He despises religion and has placed bans on public acts of worship in hopes to keep the scourge of religion from tearing apart his control over the land. He is resourceful and cunning, and manages to maintain control by careful study of mankind, and not through bloodshed. It has been said that he much rather take hope and faith away rather than taking a man's life; the effects last longer.

About Vernon G. Wells
Directing had consumed Vernon’s career—acting was all but forgotten...until
he was asked to star in the stage play Hosanna. During the successful run
of the play, he received critical acclaim for his role. This led to an interview
by director George Miller to play the role of Wez, the mohawked marauder,
for his forthcoming production Mad Max II – The Road Warrior, a film that
eventually became a worldwide cult classic.
