Battlestar Galactica: Characters

Anders unites the easygoing charisma of the professional athlete he once was with the grim determination of the resistance fighter he became after the Cylon attack. His troubled marriage to Kara Thrace barely survived a strange blend of affectionate dedication (each has risked death to rescue the other) and intense disagreement and betrayal (culminating in Kara's affair with Lee Adama). When Kara was believed to be dead after her Viper exploded in the maelstrom, Anders was devastated. Perhaps to honor her memory, he became a pilot trainee aboard the Galactica. Now, his shock at learning he is one of the Final Five Cylons is matched only by his shock at his wife's miraculous return from the dead.
