Biography
Leader of the resistance group on Caprica, Samuel T. Anders is 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, they raided armories and collected caches of weapons, anti-radiation meds, 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 seemed to be focused more on surviving on Caprica than he was with getting off it (Resistance).
His 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 gave him her fleet ID tags as a promise that she would come back for him. Aside from surviving and waiting for rescue, Anders is also planning to locate and destroy as many Cylon hybrid-producing "farms" as possible before Starbuck returns (The Farm).
His physical features vaguely resemble Apollo, which perhaps explains Starbuck's immediate attraction to him. However, he is much more self-assured than Apollo.
Notes
- "Ander" means "Man" (a well known example would be that "Anderson" means "Son of Man", etc). Fitting, given that Anders is leading that last humans alive on Caprica in a resistance against the Cylons: it's literally "Man" versus Machines.
- In the answers to fan questions posted on Scfi.com on December 6th, Davic Eick said that "Yes, Michael Trucco will be returning to the show for a special three-episode arc in the second half of season two".
