==Appearance==
Not much is known about his physical appearance, other than him wearing the standard Frontier Militia uniform with orange accents on it, as well as the SRS and the Prowler logo on left and right sides of the armour, respectively.
==Background==
===Past===
Before the start of Titanfall 2, Anderson was given the assignment by Commander Sarah Briggs to infiltrate the IMC research facility on the planet Typhon and see what secrets were hidden there, including the existence of a cataclysmic, potent superweapon.
Briggs gave Anderson a time-traveling device so he could go between different points in time between the past and the present due to the high amounts of leftover energy there that generated time displacements, and allowed him to visit the facility undetected.
When Anderson arrived at the facility, he learned that the IMC intended to use an alien-designed weapon—later referred to as the Fold Weapon — to destroy the Militia-controlled world of Harmony and other Frontier-controlled planets.
However, in the midst of his infiltration, an IMC grunt lunged at him with a knife as he attempted to operate his wrist-mounted time machine. In the ensuing struggle, Anderson activated the device in a hurry, causing his body to split in two as it shifted to the past, with each half being divided at both the upper and lower halves of the facility, before he could tell Sarah about his findings.
===Legacy===
Sometime after Anderson's death, Jack Cooper and BT-7274 visited the ruins of the research facility, with the former locating his deceased body stuck onto the ceiling of the reception area. Cooper would later retrieve Anderson's helmet, before BT assigned Operation 217 to him, as well as retrieving his time gauntlet, thus fulfilling the rest of the late Major's goal.
==Abilities==
*Master Infiltrator - Anderson was adept in stealth and infiltration, as he was able to break into the IMC research base in Typhon, undetected, through the usage of his Time Gauntlet and cloaking device.
*Time Gauntlet - After stealing it from the IMC during Operation: Grizzly, Anderson was able to utilise the time gauntlet to travel between the past and the present, as part of his infiltration mission.
==Trivia==
*Anderson bears the same last name as General Anderson, who served as the chief officer of the 1st Militia Fleet until he passed away from his wounds before to the Battle of Fracture. Whether the two are biologically connected is unknown.
*The Gauntlet time for Anderson is 56.65 seconds. He finished sixth in the Gauntlet before he died.
