V spends the next five years planning his revenge on Norsefire and building his secret base, which he calls 'The Shadow Gallery'. He adopts the new identity, 'V', and dons a Guy Fawkes mask and costume.

Much of the camp is set ablaze, and many of the guards are killed by the mustard gas. On a stormy night (namely, 23 December in the novel or 5 November in the film), he detonates his homemade bomb and escapes his cell. In secret, the man uses the fertilizer and solvent to make mustard gas and napalm. He then takes a large amount of grease solvent from the gardens. The man eventually starts taking surplus ammonia-based fertilizer back to his cell, where he arranges it in bizarre, intricate patterns on the floor. Over time, the man is allowed to grow roses ( Violet Carsons) and raise crops for camp officials. During that time, the man had some level of communication with Valerie Page, a former actress imprisoned for being a lesbian, kept in 'room four', who wrote her autobiography on toilet paper and then pushed it through a hole in the wall. As a result of the experiments, the man develops Olympic-level physical abilities and an incredibly expanded intellect. All prisoners who are part of the experiment die, with the sole exception of 'the man in room five' ('V' in Roman numerals). Lewis Prothero is the camp's commandant, while Father Anthony Lilliman, a paedophile vicar, is at the camp to lend 'spiritual support'. While there, he is part of a group of prisoners who are subjected to horrific medical experimentation, conducted by Dr. He is at one point an inmate at ' Larkhill Resettlement Camp'-one of many concentration camps where black people, Jews, liberals, beatniks, homosexuals and Muslims are exterminated by Norsefire, a fascist dictatorship that rules Britain. V's background and identity are never revealed. The 2019 television series Pennyworth, a prequel to V for Vendetta, introduced predecessors to V wearing the same signature Guy Fawkes mask in its 2022 third season. V made his first live appearance in the 2005 film V for Vendetta played by Hugo Weaving and James Purefoy. According to Moore, he was designed to be morally ambiguous, so that readers could decide for themselves whether he was a hero fighting for a cause or simply insane.

He strives to topple a totalitarian regime of a dystopian United Kingdom through acts of heroism. He is a mysterious anarchist, vigilante, and freedom fighter who is easily recognizable by his Guy Fawkes mask, long hair and dark clothing. V is the title character of the comic book series V for Vendetta, created by Alan Moore and David Lloyd.
