Data.

He debuts alongside Deimos in Madness Combat 5 when a dragon sword is given to Hank. He later appears in Madness Combat 5.5, 6.5, and 7.5 alongside Deimos as they fight their way through various AAHW facilities. He reunites with Hank in Madness Combat 9: Aggregation after being sent to retrieve his corpse, and has been in every subsequent main episode since and has most recently appeared as the main protagonist of Madness Combat 12: Contravention.

Personality.

Sanford is shown to be serious, yet surprisingly expressive when it comes to combat. For the first 0.5 episodes, he has a normal crosshair on his face. But in Madness Combat 6.5, he gains a smug look, including his iconic pouty lip, when he tries on glasses as if feeling confident. Up until Madness Combat 11, Sanford had always remained calm, collected, and focused, in contrast to his partner Deimos, who is more dim-witted and clumsy. Upon finding out that Deimos had been killed in Madness Combat 9, Sanford shows shock and even takes a step back for a moment, before turning his attention to the Auditor and returning to his serious demeanor. Between him and Deimos, he is the de facto leader of the two, thanks to his cool-headed nature and sense of responsibility.

Last death (So far).

However, Madness Combat 11 is where Sanford begins to crack. Facing a skeletal Demon Tricky and being thrown into Hell, Sanford attempts to maintain his focused attitude. However, this proves impossible as instead of the previous objectives of his missions, Sanford's only goal is to survive. Compared to Hank J. Wimbleton, who is already primarily focused on killing in his own way, Sanford is unprepared for the new challenges he faces. As the episode progresses, Sanford's serious attitude cracks and fades as Tricky pushes him to his limits, and he slowly becomes more desperate and negative as he fights. He begins to act more out of emotion, at one point even angrily throwing two weapons to the ground when they are useless against some of his enemies. As Tricky crashes him into a cliff at high speed, Sanford lets out a scream of pain and agony, his expression turning from one of smug concentration to one of terror as Tricky overwhelms him and he ducks behind a ballistic shield to save his life. His face returned to normal when Hank returned and distracted Tricky. After Hank and Sanford are reunited, Sanford noticeably becomes less involved in combat, preferring to let Hank go in first and provide support, even following him at a distance and looking over his shoulder warily.

Ability.

Overall, Sanford is very capable of combat, skilled and strong both physically and mentally.

Superhuman strength.

Sanford is extremely strong, able to kill ATP Agents and Engineers with a few or even one punch and using his signature weapon to swing and throw them around like they weighed nothing. In Madness Combat 5.5 he effortlessly disarmed an Agent and somehow left a long gash on his cheek with an iron pipe. In the same episode he used it to throw Deimos several meters into the air. In Madness Combat 6.5 he was able to carry and use a Bren Gun with a single hand. In Madness Combat 7.5 he separated an Agent's upper body from his lower body by cleanly slicing it open with an iron sword he was using one-handed. In the same episode he threw said sword with enough force to pierce through the entire body of an ATP soldier and stab his Fraction into a concrete wall. In Madness Combat 9: Aggregation he stabbed an engineer with a hook from his signature weapon in the truck's cargo after stabbing his face with the wire-attached hook, he spun the hook around one-handed despite the hook being stabbed into the engineer's face, he slams his hook with the stabbed engineer into four other ATP engineers inside the truck's cargo one-handed hard enough to kill three of them. In Madness Combat 11: Expurgation he ripped open an ATP soldier's surgically attached eyepiece and dragged it across his skull, stabbed an agent in the face with a baton, threw an empty gun into an agent's face hard enough to kill him, and launched a Pain into the face of one of Tricky's henchmen hard enough to blast through their masks and face, in the same episode said masks took fire from the MBS 95 which bounced off said masks causing absolutely no damage. Leaks from the upcoming Madness Combat 12 episode show Sanford slamming an agent to the ground with enough force to

Endurance.

Although not on the level of a superman, Sanford still has impressive stamina. In Madness Combat 9: Aggregation he was stabbed in the stomach, but pulled the knife out of his body as if nothing had happened and the wound only bothered him mildly. In Madness Combat 11: Expurgation, he didn't mind Tricky summoning weapons within his body and sending them out of his large knife wound. Be that as it may, this stamina has still shown limits, as in Madness Combat 5.5/Appearances, getting shot in the chest with a Colt revolver hurt him quite badly, causing him to struggle on the ground until Deimos reached his hand over him to lift him off the ground.

Superhuman reflexes.

Sanford has shown that he can dodge gunfire with ease and also dodge high-speed melee weapon strikes at point-blank range during numerous episodes. In Madness Combat 5.5, Sanford wielded two swords at extreme speeds and killed three agents before any of them began to brandish their weapons, he also dodged two axe strikes at point-blank range. In Madness Combat 6.5, Sanford, just after an agent nearly hits him with an AK-47, notices this and stops before the next bullet from the gun is fired, after it fires the second bullet into the wall, Sanford moves to the side before the gun fires the third bullet. In Madness Combat 7.5 he turned around a thrown knife.

Superhuman agility.

Sanford, throughout the episodes, has shown an extreme amount of agility. He has been shown to jump higher than his body length and casually do backflips throughout the episodes on numerous occasions, such as Madness Combat 5.5, Madness Combat 6.5, etc. In Madness Combat 9: Aggregation, he leapt several feet towards a truck from his car and in Madness Combat 10: Abrogation, he backflipped several feet across to dodge a shotgun blast.

Skilled hand-to-hand combatant.

Sanford is highly skilled in hand-to-hand combat, being able to kill multiple enemies with ease and block their blows, this was further demonstrated in Madness Combat 5.5 and Madness Combat 11: Expurgation.

Weapons Mastery.

Sanford has shown to be skilled and proficient with any type of weapon he gets his hands on. This especially applies to melee weapons, as in Madness Combat 5.5 he was able to stomp through a small horde of agents simply with swords in a close combat battle and has shown to be very adapted to his signature weapon, the grappling hook, especially displaying skills with it in Madness Combat 9: Aggregation where he was able to block sword strikes and effortlessly slaughter multiple agents with it. While he did not display the same amount of proficiency and skill with firearms, he has still shown to be decent at using them. He has shown to accurately fire firearms ranging from pistols to submachine guns with a single hand throughout numerous episodes. In Madness Combat 11: Expurgation he was able to shoot one of Tricky's skeletons in the head with a shotgun despite the skeleton holding a ballistic shield covering almost its entire body and Sanford using the shotgun with his left hand while protecting himself by holding a shield with his right hand. Sanford tends to use any type of melee weapon, when it comes to firearms, he seems to love the more damaging weapons such as revolvers, shotguns, and machine guns.

Knowledge of explosives.

In MADNESS: Project Nexus Sanford is shown to be an expert in demolitions, being the only one capable of placing explosive charges to destroy obstacles or important targets. Sanford appears to be familiar with the mechanics of explosive devices, as on one occasion during Climb!, he was able to make improvised C-4 after he and Hank were unable to find real explosives.

Medical knowledge.

Sanford appears to possess medical knowledge, as he bandaged himself and Deimos in Madness Combat 5.5 and 6.5.

Unlimited durability.

Sandford meanwhile is extremely resistant to blunt force trauma, this durability does not apply to piercing damage, which is a problem as bullets damage his body and he has to actively dodge them to avoid dying.
