Biography
Leader of the resistance group on Caprica, Samuel T. Anders was also the captain of the professional Pyramid team known as the Caprica Buccaneers. He was leading his team in high-altitude training in the mountains outside of Delphi when the Cylon Attack occurred and the planet was bombarded with nuclear weapons.
Being in a high-altitude rural area shielded Anders and his team from the blasts and most of the radioactive fallout that followed. He and the Buccaneers became ad hoc resistance fighters from that point forward, raiding armories and collecting caches of weapons, anti-radiation medication, ammo and supplies in the hopes of staying alive and defending themselves against the Cylons.
Anders was able to rally upwards of over 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 about 50 days. Unlike Helo, the Caprica-based (and pregnant) Sharon Valerii, and Starbuck, Anders seems to be focused more on surviving on Caprica than he is with leaving the planet (Resistance).
Anders' current focus is keeping himself and his resistance movement alive long enough for Starbuck to return to Caprica once again with reinforcements from Galactica and evacuate them. Starbuck gives him her fleet ID tags as a promise that she would come back for him. Aside from surviving and waiting for rescue, Anders plans to locate and destroy as many Cylon hybrid-producing "farms" as possible before Starbuck returns (The Farm).
Recently Anders and the resistance movement have been conducting acts of terrorism against the Cylons. His aim is to scare the Cylons into believing there is no safe place for them and to kill them in the most greusome way possible so they remember when they are reborn what it is like to die violently, like in an explosion (Downloaded).
Anders' physical features vaguely resemble Apollo, which perhaps explains Starbuck's immediate attraction to him. However, Anders appears much more self-assured than Apollo.
Following the Cylon's reappropriation of Delphi, Anders and his fighters continued their insurgency, and carried out a series of attacks on the Cylons, the most notable of which was the destruction of a café which killed roughly 40 Cylons. Anders, having planted the bomb in a garage, was prevented from leaving when he had to stay and defend the bomb from a Centurion. Hiding behind a car on the other side of the garage, Anders was mostly protected from the blast but buried under some rubble, and was not comforted to be later "rescued" by Sharon and Number Three. Anders was spared, as he would be a useful source of information. When Caprica-Six began talking about genocide and God's love, Anders didn't understand, but used the opening to try and kill Three. Sharon knocked the gun out of his hand, and Three was more than willing to take revenge, but all were astonished when Six suddenly killed her. Heeding Six's orders to get out, Anders fled, still puzzled by what had transpired (Downloaded).
Notes
- "Ander" is derived from a Greek term meaning "Man" (a well known example would be that "Anderson" means "Son of Man", etc). Fitting, given that Anders is leading the last free humans alive on Caprica in a resistance against the Cylons: it's literally a fight of "Man" versus Machines.
