Sanford and Deimos

Sanford is the deuteragonist of the Madness Combat series, primarily fighting alongside Deimos. He wears a bandana, black teashades, army-camo pants and has a double helix pattern tattoo on his back. Sanford is shown to be very serious, but surprisingly expressive when it comes to combat. For the first few .5 episodes, he has a normal cross on his face. But in Madness Combat 6.5, he gains a smug look, including his iconic lip, when he tries on the glasses as if feeling confident. Up to Madness Combat 11, Sanford had always remained calm, collected, and focused, in contrast with his partner Deimos, who is more goofy and clumsy. Upon finding out that Deimos had been killed in Madness Combat 9, Sanford does show shock and even takes a step back for a moment, before focusing his attention on the Auditor and returning to his serious demeanor. Between himself and Deimos, he is the de facto leader of the two, thanks to his collected nature and sense of responsibility. He's shown to have great strength, agility, and a neat resistance to piercings. Deimos is the tritagonist of the Madness Combat series who usually appears alongside Sanford. He has a bandaged head, wears a headset and visor, and has been seen wearing a vest with a white tank top underneath. Compared to the likes of Hank and Sanford, Deimos seems to take his job less seriously, taunting his foes, and even sometimes his allies, as illustrated when he flashes an agent a "Rock On" sign while killing him in Madness Combat 5.5, and when he jokingly tries to scare Sanford by donning an A.T.P. mask and waving around a carbon knife in Madness Combat 9, when he dances before stealing the sunglasses of an agent, which he then kills and later he dabs before brutally killing another agent again. Deimos, like Sanford and Hank, is very skilled in combat, as his profession requires him to be. However, unlike the more melee-savvy Sanford, Deimos prefers to use firearms and even explosives where he can, though Sanford is still considered to be better at handling explosives. He's shown to be the one to handle tech in the group (besides Doc). The Agency Against Hank Wimbleton is the main antagonistic faction of the Madness Combat series. It is an organization of soldiers founded and led by the Auditor whose immediate goal is to eliminate Hank J. Wimbleton, and later on, anyone else who the Auditor saw as a threat, such as Sanford, Deimos, Jesus, and Doc. The A.A.H.W. most notably consist out of the 1337 Agents, who replaced Grunts as the primary cannon fodder by Madness Combat 5: Depredation. Even more variations were developed by the Accelerated Training Program, which birthed the A.T.P. Engineers and A.T.P. Soldats. The series has repeatedly shown that the working conditions of the A.A.H.W are extremely poor. The Auditor has murdered his own men simply out of frustration, and has "enhanced" several of them, which seems to completely eliminate their already limited free wills. Dissenters are brutalized and strung about their facilities to threaten members into subservience, and every unnamed member of the A.A.H.W is little more than a martyr. It's also been shown that members are also stationed within the Other Place, though it's ambiguous if they simply occupy it or are actually deceased themselves, as several of them appear to be losing their skin, which might be their S-3LF's being assimilated into the Other Place. It is also implied that A.A.H.W members are very loyal to superiors, sometimes to a fault, and follow orders without question or second thought. In DISSENTER, an A.T.P, Soldat is tricked by Doc into shooting a door with nearby agents with a rocket launcher, despite it being an entirely senseless order. It is possible that this only applies to A.T.P. Soldats, given that Doc hacked the Soldat's terminal database directly, which also implies that the latter are modified to be extremely obedient.
