Biography[]

The Fever Code[]

He announced his decommission in his last email to the other members of WICKED, titled "partners". He admitted that he had caught the Flare and had been affected quicker and more viciously than the original group and he didn't know why. He made use of the little sanity he had left to appoint Ava Paige as his successor and to warn the others not to fight the virus as he did but to accept it and to end the suffering. It was later discovered in The Fever Code that Ava Paige wrote this e-mail under his name.

On the following day he wrote another email but didn't send it. This message showed the previous chancellor had now lost, in addition to his little mental health; he had bitten off eight of his fingers. Madness made him say the reverse of what he was fighting for the day previous day, such as letting the Immunes rule the world or to subject the Trials to kids. He was killed by a reluctant Thomas during the Purge, a task given to them by Ava Paige to wipe out the infected staff in the WICKED Headquarters.

Physical Appearance & Personality[]

Anderson first appeared to be a welcoming man. We first read about him when he invited Thomas into his office for a talk. During the conversation, he talked about finding a Cure for the Flare. Anderson also started to talk about how he wanted Christmas back, as he spoke about how he remembered and missed Christmas. He started to show the true motive behind WICKED's goals- even expressing how much he missed the old times before the Flare virus changed the world. This showed us Anderson's gentler and remorseful side. However, he turned more irrational as he became a Crank- even cutting off all his fingers apart from two.
