Lieutenant Henry "Hank" Anderson is one of the two deuteragonists (alongside Alice) of Quantic Dream's 2018 video game Detroit: Become Human, being the deuteragonist of Connor's story and minor character of Kara's story in the game.
He is a grizzled police lieutenant who hates androids, and is partnered with a deviant hunter named Connor, one of the game's three protagonists. While Hank is at first dismissive and contemptuous towards the android, he soon begins to show a more compassionate side towards him. His hatred of androids is revealed to be due to the loss of his son, Cole.
Hank is voiced and motion-captured by Clancy Brown, who also voices Mr. Krabs in SpongeBob SquarePants, Raiden in the Mortal Kombat series, Otto from Super Robot Monkey Team Hyper Force Go!, Toilette Ree, The Epic Tales of Captain Underpants, Captain Black from Jackie Chan Adventures, and Gavin in Solar Opposites.
Official Game Description[]
Hank Anderson is a 53 year old police officer. Valedictorian of his police academy, he quickly distinguished himself through courage and intellect, solving many difficult investigations. Though he looked set for a brilliant career in the Detroit Police Force, he suffered some kind of cruel setback.
Anderson slowly sank into alcoholism and an unpredictable, even suicidal state of mind which earned him multiple warnings and disciplinary penalties.
Always respected and regarded highly by his former colleagues, who know what a brilliant officer he was, but also feared for his bad temper and dry humor, Anderson seems to just want to be left in peace. He has little esteem for humanity in general, preferring the company of his dog. Antisocial, he only ventures out to frequent sleazy bars.
One last detail: he hates androids.
