I am the oldest of the wives, and it is my privilege that...
~ The First Wife, trying to pull rank

The First Wife was a side character in the 1966 movie Manos: The Hands of Fate.

Sometime (likely years) before 1966, the young woman who would be forced to become the First Wife of The Master after being kidnapped by him and his servant Torgo. Over time, the First Wife would be joined by other women who were kidnapped by The Master or had joined him in his cult of worshipping the God Manos.

In 1966 Michael, his wife Margaret, and their daughter Debbie arrived at the Valley Lodge. The arrivals of these new people caused a debate among the wives. Some were eager to make Margaret join them as a wife of The Master, and wanted to kill the rest of the family. The First Wife tried to speak against harming the child Debbie, but The Master was angry and cut her off. The Master blamed Torgo for causing the whole situation, which caused The Master to confront him, then later burning his hand off.

The First Wife and her supporters continued to state it would be enough to kill the adults, but to leave the child unharmed - feeling like The Master had enough wives and that others shouldn't be forced to stay with The Master against their will as they had to. The debate soon generated into full contact nightgown wrestling. The Master's favorite wife went to find The Master and inform him that his wives were engaging in physical combat.

Coming back to the tomb with Torgo and his Devil Dog, The Master decided to deal with the First Wife and Torgo. The First Wife was tied up by the other wives (as instructed by The Master), and she watched in horror as The Master demanded that 2 other wives kill Torgo (or, "massage" him to death), followed by The Master burning Torgo's hand off, with Torgo running off into the night.

The Master then turned his attention to his First Wife, throwing Torgo's burning and severed hand in front of the pillar she was bound to. The Master then begins beating his First Wife, hitting her repeatedly while she cried out. She yells at The Master, saying that he could continue his evil doings all he wanted, but that sooner or later, his powers would fail him, and Manos would kill him. Sadly, however, The Master's beating is fatal, and the First Wife dies at his hands. The Master decided to sacrifice her to Manos.

The Master soon forced Margaret to join him as his newest wife, and in another sick move, forced Debbie to also join them as a wife, too.
