Appearance

Full body view of Sanders.

Sanders is a middle aged-man who sports a large messy mustache and short black hair featuring two strands shaped like antennae. He is seen mostly wearing a black military outfit. Sanders is fair skinned.

Personality

Sanders is a serious and strict individual. He firmly believes in Duel Academy's agenda and teaches his alumni with a rigorous mindset. He has shown to be a strategic and methodical individual as he devised a trap to capture the Lancers and often remarking to his students the best course of action in battle depending on the mission at hand.

Sanders seems to be a man obsessed with war and strength as he pursues to create the strongest Duel soldiers ever. His enthusiasm is such that he refers to his students as gladiators and as their training grounds as a holy place, seeing no greater honor than in combat itself.

Ultimately, he is a man of Darwinist principles and cares little in sacrificing his own students or even having them battle each other, so long as his ultimate masterpiece, a soldier of utmost strength is born as a result.

Biography

Past

Sanders trained the Battle Beast to become the strongest Duel Warrior, but his sheer hostility caused him to Duel and seal anyone he encountered into cards. Due to this, Sanders judged him defective and had him imprisoned.

Heartland City

When the Lancers landed on the island's north side, Sanders contacted the Professor and was told to carry out the mission according to the plan and take Yuya Sakaki down. He then gave a special mission to the elite students who have the top grades of Duel Academy: Defeat the Lancers. When the Lancers split up two groups during the ambush, Sanders told his students not to worry as it's part of the scenario and asked them how would they handle the situation. He had yelled at them as all of their plans focused on destroying them instead of capturing them. He then told them to watch carefully on how to carry out a capture operation. When Yuya's group got captured, Sanders picked Ted, Ethan, Bernie, Jacob, and Emma to put their lives on the line in a Survival Duel against the Lancers. When the Lancers were brought to the arena, Sanders told them they would battle his five elite students until there is only one man standing. He told them the Survival Duel will create the ultimate soldier and the losers carded. He activated the Field Spell "Jungle of Predators - Predator Jungle" and started the Survival Duel. He told the rest of the students to burn this Duel into eyes as they will witness the birth of the ultimate soldier. When someone was defeated, Sanders commented how he was haphazard as ever and that the elites will definitely make it. When Emma and Jacob were defeated, Sanders was outraged that his top elites were wiped out and couldn't surpass that guy. When Crow revealed the eleventh Duelist's identity, Sanders told everyone that is the strongest Battle Beast he grown, BB. He told his students that Battle Beast is very hostile and will card anyone, causing him to be defective and imprisoned. He also told them that he was planning on molding them into the strongest duelists but there was no result after his chosen five were defeated. He told them if they don't want to carded like the first five, they should watch the Duel closely. He was unimpressed by Gong's Pendulum Summon and said they awakened the monster that's battle hungry. He was surprised when Jack Atlas arrived in the arena.

He asked Jack was he one of the Lancers comrades and told him to show that confidence he has against the Battle Beast. He wondered why Jack set a card first and was surprised when he activated it on the same turn. He got angry when the Battle Beast smiled for escaping defeat and joined the Duel, receiving an intrusion penalty. He used "Test Fusion" to Fusion Summon "Gladiator Beast Tamer Editor" and used the effect of "Tamer Editor" to Special Summon "Gladiator Beast Andabatae" from Battle Beast's Extra Deck to his field. He told Battle Beast to fight freely now and show his strength and viciousness to the enemy. He told him its a direct order from the Professor, except Declan Akaba, eliminate the Lancers especially Yuya Sakaki. He then used the second effect of "Tamer Editor" to destroy "Template:Anime", but Jack prevented it with "Red Armor", instead he attacked Yuya directly and told Battle Beast to prevent him from getting an Action Card, but he stood frozen. When Yuya dodged the attack with "Evasion", Sanders yelled at Battle Beast for not following orders and that the superior officer's orders are absolute on the battlefield. He told the rest of his students to engrave it into their hearts as absolute obedience is his cardinal rule. After Battle Beast used "Gladiator Beast Assault Fort", Sanders told him to bury Yuya and Jack but yelled at him again for ignoring orders again and threatened to seal him into a card. He was surprised when Battle Beast used the effect of "Tamer Editor" to destroy itself.

Deck

Like Battle Beast, Sanders runs a "Gladiator Beast" Deck, which is focused more on Fusion summoning.
