	The background fabricated for Anders by Number One included being born on [[~~The Twelve Colonies of Kobol#~~Picon\|Picon]] and attending [[Noyse Elementary School]]. It is unclear how many years before the [[Fall of the Twelve Colonies]] he was inserted into the Colonial population, but less than [[Saul Tigh\|Saul]] or [[Ellen Tigh]]. He became a [[Pyramid (RDM)\|Pyramid]] player for the [[Caprica Buccaneers]] and was leading his team in high-altitude training in the mountains outside of [[Delphi]] when Caprica was attacked during the Cylon assault on the Colonies. The high-altitude shielded them from the blasts of the nuclear attacks and most of the radioactive fallout that followed. He and the Buccaneers become ad hoc resistance fighters from that point forward, raiding armories and collecting caches of weapons, [[anti-radiation medication]], ammunition and supplies in the hopes of surviving and defending themselves against the Cylons. When the attack happened he said "all of this has happened before." The rest of the team (including the coach) and the survivors they found all turned to him for leadership after the attack as he seemed to have some idea of what to do. For a long time he remained unaware that he had two Cylons among his resistance force: a [[Number Four\|Simon]] and a [[Number One\|Cavil]] who grew sympathetic to humanity through his interactions with Anders and his resistance force {{TRS\|The Plan}}.

	Anders joins ~~the~~ ''[[Demetrius]]''{{'\|s}} crew on its mission to find [[Earth (RDM)\|Earth]]. Three weeks into the mission, he questions Thrace's command style, forcing her to open up more about her mission with her crew {{TRS\|The Ties That Bind}}. A week later they encounter a damaged Heavy Raider with [[Number Two\|a copy of Leoben Conoy]] aboard. Thrace allows him aboard against the crew's wishes, because she wants his help in finding Earth. When Anders sees how physically close the two are, he attacks him until Marines separate them. Later, Anders asks Conoy what he wants from Thrace.

	During the mutiny aboard the ''Demetrius'' Anders sides with Thrace, going as far as to shoot [[Felix Gaeta]] in the knee to prevent him from jumping back to ''Galactica''. After accompanying Thrace to a disabled Cylon [[Basestar (RDM)\|basestar]], Anders involves himself in an execution of a [[Number Six]] model who had moments before murdered [[Jean Barolay]]. The idea of [[Natalie]] assisting to pull the trigger on another of her models disturbs him. After seeing Agathon interact with a datastream and becoming curious of what would happen if he tried it, Anders tries to connect with the datastream, but is interrupted by Kara and never gets the chance to learn what would have happened if he had succeeded. Later into the mission, however, he consoles a dying [[Number Eight]] when {{callsign\|Athena}} fails to. He then becomes visibly worried when Thrace, Natalie and Sharon deduce that the [[Final Five]] have come from and know the way back to Earth, and propose a resurrection of the [[Number Three]] model to reveal the Five's identities {{TRS\|Faith}}. Back on ''Galactica'', Anders is distraught over the loss of Gaeta's leg, talking of how Gaeta [[Gaeta's Lament\|sings]] all the time to cope with his pain, but can't bring himself to talk to Gaeta about it {{TRS\|Guess What's Coming to Dinner?}}.

	Anders was able to rally upwards of 100 people, mostly hikers and survivalists, to his resistance against the Cylons and from the former [[Delphi Union High School]] he was able to strike back at the Cylons for nine months.

	Anders and his resistance members encounter Agathon and Thrace two months after the initial Cylon attack {{TRS\|Resistance (episode)}}. He and his men see them and Cavil (who Anders believes to be human), says that he possibly recognizes them as Cylons so Anders and his men ambush them before the situation is diffused. Anders's main focus for a time is keeping himself and his resistance movement alive long enough for Thrace to return to Caprica once again with reinforcements from ''Galactica'' and evacuate them. Before leaving, Thrace gives him her [[Identification tags\|Fleet ID tags]] as a promise that she would come back for him. While waiting for rescue, Anders plans to locate and destroy as many Cylon hybrid-producing "farms" as possible {{TRS\|The Farm}}.

	The bullet entered his head, but in doing so it also unlocked previously inaccessible memories of his past. Although he suffers through a steadily worsening bout of [[w:Aphasia\|Aphasia]] ("word salad"), he explains some of what he learns from his memories, elaborating on the history of the Final Five and their betrayal by their first creation, Number One, otherwise known as [[John Cavil]]. Before Anders can explain any more, he is taken to surgery to have the bullet removed so he does not suffer another seizure and die of a potential brain haemorrhage. He refuses treatment, fearing he may lose his restored memories, but Kara Thrace, still being his lawful wife, orders Dr. Cottle to remove the bullet anyway. The bullet is safely removed, but when Anders doesn't wake up as soon as expected an EEG is run on him it is discovered he has almost no brain activity {{TRS\|No Exit}}. He is visited by [[Ellen Tigh]] when she returns aboard ''{{RDM\|Galactica}}'', and when a referendum is tabled among the Final Five as to whether they should say with the fleet or strike out on their own, Saul Tigh votes "stay" on Anders' behalf, citing his ranting warning to the Five as he was being wheeled into the OR: "stay with the fleet" {{TRS\|Deadlock}}. When Thrace visits him some time later his eyes are seen to be open and there is a flurry of brainwave activity seen on the monitors around his bedside, though he does not show any signs of cognitive function just yet.

	When he is visited again by Thrace and Admiral Adama he subconsciously flashes back to his time on Caprica as captain of the Buccaneers. He remembers an instance when he was in his team's locker room just after a game being interviewed by a sports reporter. The woman questions him on whether or not he would feel his career would be complete if he retired without ever leading the Buccaneers to a championship. Anders candidly responds by telling the reporter that in actuality, he cares little for the fame and the glamor associated with the game and more for the subtler aspects of it often missed amid the glitz. He speaks of his passion for experiencing "the perfection of creation" through his plays and movements, relating the sport to more mathematical concepts like physics; a brief moment where Samuel Anders the inventor broke through the cover of Samuel Anders the sports star. In the present, he apparently is able to give the location of [[The Colony]] to Thrace and Admiral Adama when asked although it is not shown on screen {{TRS\|Daybreak, Part I}}.

	When [[Felix Gaeta]] and [[Tom Zarek]] enact a [[Gaeta's Mutiny\|coup]] to overthrow the fleet's [[William Adama\|military]] and [[Laura Roslin\|civilian]] leadership, Anders is abducted by his former wingman [[Diana Seelix]] and several co-conspirators and taken to the specially designed Cylon holding cell to be held as a hostage along with Caprica-Six and the Agathon family {{TRS\|The Oath}}.

	The bullet entered his head, but in doing so it also unlocked previously inaccessible memories of his past. Although he suffers through a steadily worsening bout of [[w:Aphasia\|Aphasia]] ("word salad"), he explains some of what he learns from his memories, elaborating on the history of the Final Five and their betrayal by their first creation, Number One, otherwise known as [[John Cavil]]. Before Anders can explain any more, he is taken to surgery to have the bullet removed so he does not suffer another seizure and die of a potential brain haemorrhage. He refuses treatment, fearing he may lose his restored memories, but Kara Thrace, still being his lawful wife, orders Dr. Cottle to remove the bullet anyway. The bullet is safely removed, but when Anders doesn't wake up as soon as expected an EEG is run on him it is discovered he has almost no brain activity {{TRS\|No Exit}}. He is visited by [[Ellen Tigh]] when she returns aboard ''{{RDM\|Galactica}}'', and when a referendum is tabled among the Final Five as to whether they should say with the fleet or strike out on their own, Saul Tigh votes "stay" on Anders' behalf, citing his ranting warning to the Five as he was being wheeled into the OR: "stay with the fleet" {{TRS\|Deadlock}}. When Thrace visits him some time later his eyes are seen to be open and there is a flurry of brainwave activity seen on the monitors around his bedside, though he does not show any signs of cognitive function just yet.

	When he is visited again by Thrace and Admiral Adama he subconsciously flashes back to his time on Caprica as captain of the Buccaneers. He remembers an instance when he was in his team's locker room just after a game being interviewed by a sports reporter. The woman questions him on whether or not he would feel his career would be complete if he retired without ever leading the Buccaneers to a championship. Anders candidly responds by telling the reporter that in actuality, he cares little for the fame and the glamor associated with the game and more for the subtler aspects of it often missed amid the glitz. He speaks of his passion for experiencing "the perfection of creation" through his plays and movements, relating the sport to more mathematical concepts like physics; a brief moment where Samuel Anders the inventor broke through the cover of Samuel Anders the sports star. In the present, he apparently is able to give the location of [[The Colony]] to Thrace and Admiral Adama when asked although it is not shown on screen {{TRS\|Daybreak, Part I}}.

	Anders is instrumental in the [[Battle of The Colony\|attack]] on [[The Colony]], confusing its Hybrids at a crucial moment and disabling all the weapons.

After the successful return of ''Galactica'' to the new planet, Adama has him pilot the fleet and all their technology into the sun in order to have them start over. Before he dies, he briefly flashes back to his interview prior to the fall, and Kara says a tearful goodbye to him, returning to him her dog tags and telling him that she loves him.
