The Clan Techie, also formerly known as the Clan Technician is a character in Dredd.

Name[]

The Techie's name is not ever revealed. With the Ma-Ma Clan eliminated, this character is now known as the Peach Trees Techie and the Peach Trees Technician. This character was a computer hacker that temporarily worked for Ma-Ma until her summary execution at the end of the movie. The Techie controlled a wide surveillance network from a small control room on the 200th floor of the Peach Trees Block.

Character Biography[]

His eyes were replaced by bionic ones after Ma-Ma tortured him by gouging his original eyeballs out with her thumbs. He is not working for Ma-Ma voluntarily, as she regulary intimidates/bullies him into doing what she wants. 

He is not genuinely loyal to Ma-Ma and is motivated by a deep fear of her more than anything, as he attempts to give Dredd and Anderson the code to her quarters as soon as he is found. He also shows shock at Ma-Ma's atrocities when witnessing them on his computer network as she mows down innocents with miniguns in an attempt to kill Dredd. When Anderson reads his mind for the door code to Ma-Ma's quarters she witnesses the tortures Ma-Ma inflicted upon him, and discovers that he is remorseful for the part he plays in the clan's work. Due to him being more of a victim than a willing criminal, she lets him go free. 

Notes[]

  • His real name is never mentioned during the film.
  • The music heard playing in the background in techie's room is the theme song to the BBC comedy: Snuff box.
  • He is shown making a copper wire animal figure in his first scene. This figure later appears on the floor by rookie Anderson when she is shot by one of Ma-Ma's bodyguards, symbolizing Anderson's conviction that she can make a difference, as she had spared him and freed him from Ma-Ma's constant coercion.
  • Ma-Ma was using one of the computers in Techie's control room to receive the signal that would have annihilated the building with her Block destroying bomb. Because she was thrown off the building, once she hit the ground the radio signal from her remote detonator had become too weak to reach the top floor and start the chain reaction that would have killed at least 50,000 people.
