Biography
Anders 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 become 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 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. 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.
Anders and his resistance members encounter Starbuck and Helo two months after the initial Cylon attack (Resistance).
Anders' main focus for a time is keeping himself and his resistance movement alive long enough for Kara Thrace to return to Caprica once again with reinforcements from Galactica and evacuate them. Thrace gives him her 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 (The Farm).
Anders and the resistance movement conduct acts of terrorism against the Cylons after they appropriate Delphi for their own. His aim was to scare the Cylons into believing there is no safe place for them and to kill them in the most gruesome 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 Lee Adama, which perhaps explains Thrace's immediate attraction to him. However, Anders appears much more self-assured than Adama.
Following the Cylon's reappropriation of Delphi, Anders and his fighters continue their insurgency, and carry out a series of attacks on the Cylons, the most notable of which was the destruction of a café which kill roughly 40 Cylons. After planting the bomb in a garage, Anders is trapped with the bomb after defending it from a Centurion. Hiding behind a car on the other side of the garage, Anders is mostly protected from the blast but buried under rubble. Later found by Boomer and Number Three. Anders is spared, as he would be a useful source of information. When Caprica-Six talks about genocide and God's love, Anders uses the opening to try and kill Number Three, but is stopped by Boomer. Three is more than willing to take revenge, but all were astonished when Caprica-Six kills Three. Heeding Six's orders to get out, Anders flees, still puzzled by what had transpired (Downloaded).
Anders survives an assault by the Cylons at the resistance's headquarters -- the same morning that the Caprica SAR team lands nearby. The Cylons assaulted the remnants of the Resistance as they head for the Raptors (Lay Down Your Burdens, Part I), forcing them to go to higher ground. After the Cylons stop attacking them, Thrace (leading the rescue team) fears the worst. Anders and Thrace promise to kill each other so that the Cylons would be unable to put them in one of their farms. Miraculously, a mysterious man appears to tell the team that the Cylons had left the Colonies.
Thrace and Anders' relationship picks up where it left off, forcing a rift to occur between Thrace and Lee Adama.
A year later, now married to Thrace on New Caprica, Anders develops pneumonia, forcing Thrace to beg Lee Adama to release some antibiotics reserved for Pegasus' pilots.
After the Cylons occupy New Caprica, Anders is visited by a copy of Leoben Conoy who inquires on Kara Thrace's whereabouts (Lay Down Your Burdens, Part II). Since the Cylons had forced Pegasus and the defense fleet away from New Caprica, the antibiotics are no longer avaliable to help Anders.
Anders recovers from his sickness and is a leader of the New Caprica Resistance, along with Saul Tigh and Galen Tyrol. Thrace was taken from him sometime after the occupation, and he is unsure if she is still living (Occupation).
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.
