== Bio ==
While he initially fought with the ATX team, Sanger is captured by the DC and meets with their leader, Bian Zoldark. Bian convinces Sanger to join them to reform the federation and fight off the incoming Aerogator invasion. As such, Sanger fights against his former teammates in the DC war, alongside his old friend, Elzam. However, when Bian falls and the DC is taken over by Adler Koch, he actively resists the new leader, and indeed, single handedly defeats him. After this incident, he is remains largely unseen, becoming a "shadow" to the Hiryu and Hagane, along with Elzam and the Kurogane, although he emerges during the L5 campaign and assists in the final strike against the Aerogators.
==Crosspedia Entry==
A member of the crew of the all-purpose battleship "Kurogane," and the exclusive pilot of the humanoid mobile weapon "Dygenguard." He was formerly a member of the Aggressors, a unit that created combat motion data for Personal Troopers. He is a true warrior with a bold personality who stands by his beliefs. Sänger is always respectful and attempts to resolve things in a fair and just manner, but can sometimes be inflexible. Also a master of the Jigen Style, he is just as skilled with a blade in person as he is when piloting Dygenguard.
