Andersen

Andersen is a deputy chief for the Central Government and formerly the commander of Goddess squad. Andersen is one of the deputy chiefs of the Ark. He sees himself as the "representative" for the Pilgrims, obsessed in gathering intel from them as shown with his dialogues in the Pilgrim Tower introduction. Andersen relies on a device implanted on left side of his body as life support. Said device is powered by the Ark's internal power grid and as such, during the recent Rapture invasion of the Ark, Andersen likely lost consciousness and undergone treatment. Without this device, Andersen may die within 30 minutes, although he can stay still within almost two hours of the device being disconnected at a time. This life support was due to the severe injuries he sustained fending off Heretic Nikkes, which ultimately led to the discovery of Vapaus. Andersen actually used to be the Legendary Commander, the very first Nikke commander. Complementing his appearance and position, Andersen speaks in a more calm and formal manner. He is lenient enough to provide aid for the most time of the protagonist's missions. However, much like other superior officers in the Ark, Andersen does not respond kindly to insubordination and such, will easily resort to punishments, albeit less harsher to some extent. Due to his position as a Deputy Chief, Andersen usually is coupled with numerous appointments and such, he could only spare little time for conversation with others.
