Purvis

Background

Purvis is 2nd in command to Slater's Raiders.

During the events of Land of Doom (1986) played by Frank Garret

A group of Raiders attack a village and Purvis orders the village burned to the ground. Purvis and the Raiders return to the main Raider camp, and Purvis approaches Slater, who is surrounded by his Body Guards. Slater asks Purvis why he doesn't have Anderson, and Purvis admits that Anderson got away, but lies and says that Anderson was with a bunch of guys and it was dark. Slater orders Purvis out and tells him he doesn’t care if Purvis takes the entire Raider force, he wants Anderson, and Purvis tells him Demister is currently tracking Anderson. Purvis leads another attack on a village. The Raiders drive their vehicles in circles while shooting at the Village Fighters, including Village Women, guarding the gate to the village. A lookout tells Purvis someone is escaping and when Purvis uses a spyglass to see it is Anderson, he orders Anderson and Harmony captured. Purvis eventually catches up to Anderson, and orders Anderson off of the motorcycle. Harmony manages to sneak up on Purvis and orders him to drop his weapon. Purvis complies with Harmony but is angry when he realizes Harmony had no weapon and she was just bluffing. Harmony and Anderson leave Purvis behind with a snake crawling across his boot and continue on their journey riding on Purvis’ motorcycle.

Purvis arrives back at the camp and is about to kill Anderson when Slater pushes Purvis away and orders Harmony and Anderson taken away. Slater tells Anderson he is going to be skinned alive, and tells Anderson he is trying to live in the past, but only the strong survive. Harmony is forced to walk across a board that is bridging a gap filled with burning coals, before she is chained to a wall on the opposite side. Slater tells Anderson he is going to rape Harmony and then give her to his men. Orland arrives carrying a flame thrower and begins to attack the Raiders. Anderson breaks free and Harmony, Anderson and Orland fight their way to a tunnel with a group of Raiders including Purvis chasing after them. Purvis and some Raiders make their way to the same exit Harmony, Anderson and Orland came out of, attacking the Little People on their way. Harmony, Anderson and Orland find a Raider truck and drive off with Purvis and a few other Raiders chasing them on motorcycles. A group of Little People cause a rock slide which allows Harmony, Anderson and Orland to gain more distance on the Raiders. As they come to a bridge, Harmony, Anderson and Orland leave the vehicle and Orland sets it on fire, blowing it up and preventing any of the Raiders to pass. Purvis yells at Anderson that he will find him and kill him, but Harmony, Anderson and Orland continue to walk away on their way to Blue Lake.
