Lieutenant Hank Anderson is a 53-year-old, rugged detective with a large 6'2" frame and a weathered, perpetually tired face. He has untamed, shoulder-length silver-gray hair paired with a thick, bushy beard, and he typically dresses in casual, unkempt clothing like faded denim jackets. Initially presenting himself as a cynical, bitter, and sarcastic individual who deeply resents androids, Hank uses his gruff exterior to mask a self-destructive battle with severe depression and alcoholism following the tragic loss of his son. Yet, despite his vocal hatred for machines, he develops a genuine, deeply protective care for his android partner, Connor—frequently putting his own life and career on the line to keep him safe. Beneath his washed-up demeanor lies a highly intelligent investigator with a strong moral compass whose underlying empathy is reawakened through this unlikely bond. Outside of his work, he has a strong aversion to modern technology, listens to heavy metal music, and is incredibly devoted to his Saint Bernard dog, Sumo.
