George Miller laid out a widely intricate backstory for the Coma-Doof Warrior. "The approach to the film was you have to be able to explain everything. Not only all the characters but every object how it all found its way into this world and how it survived." Miller told Deadline. "In his case he was blind from birth. when things started going a bit crazy he and his mother were left in a mining town. The only way they could survive was to go into a place where there was a competitive advantage to being blind. And that was to go deep down into a mineshaft where they were able to survive. He took what was most precious to him a musical instrument, probably a guitar." Miller went on to add to the Doof-Warriors lore, explaining: "as they were careening through the wasteland someone heard this music echoing out of that mine shaft, went down there and luckily they saw him as an asset. I think they killed his mother because she wasn't of any use. They took him and he eventually ended up as the equivalent of the drummer, the fife player or the bagpiper in Immortan Joe's army." In wanting to craft as authentic a "bagpiper" as possible Miller casted a real guitarist in the role: New Zealand Australian shredder iOTA . When iOTA stepped into the role he apparently took the backstory even further adding some particularly grisly details of his own. He told Audiences Everywhere in 2015, "I knew that George had said that Coma was found by Immortan Joe in a Cave and taken under his wing and he learned to be a musician. I kind of embellished that for myself. Basically, my story was that Coma was found with his mother's head, after she had been killed, and he was clinging to it and Immortan Joe came and found him and Coma took her face off and made the mask out of her face, to honor her when he went to war." iOTA went all-in when gearing up to bring to life the Coma-Doof Warrior and even prior to landing the role. Chatting with Yahoo! Movies in May 2015, iOTA shared that he went into the audition with dirt rubbed in his teeth, tattered clothes on his body, and black eye makeup on his face. "I just wanted it so bad, so I was going to go all the way. I got in the cab and the guy gave me a funny look," he said. Of course, he wound up getting the gig, and iOTA kept the flames of creative passion burning from then on. Shredding the guitar on set for six months was quite a wild experience, and iOTA poured his whole soul into the performance. "I just sort of got up there and jammed. Whatever I could come up with. It's a double-neck guitar, so it's a bass and six-string electric, but there's a base that I'm standing on and below that is a partial amplifier, so it's blaring, and it's totally squealing all the time. You're just thrashing on it, and making noise. I'm playing Zeppelin or Soundgarden or AC/DC or whatever I was feeling inspired to do," he said. "I was screaming my head off. The whole thing was just mind-boggling. I was just walking around set with my jaw open the whole time. It was incredible. And just tearing through the desert on that truck was really something else. You've gotta try it.""
