Sanford is the deuteragonist of the Madness Combat franchise. He appears to be a member of an organization that opposes The Auditor alongside his partner Deimos and Hank J. Wimbleton.
in MADNESS: Proyect Nexus, he is voiced by Johnny Utah.
History[]
Between Madness Combat 5 and Madness Combat 5.5[]
Sanford first appeared along with Deimos to deliver the Dragon Sword to Hank. However, the Improbability Drive caused them to get crushed by a building shortly after.
However, Sanford and Deimos survived and fought their way through the A.A.H.W. forces. The two later raided an A.T.P. Soldat facility and blew it up.
Between Madness Combat 6.5 and Madness Combat 7.5[]
Sometime afterward, Sanford and Deimos hijacked a truck carrying a squad of A.T.P. Engineers. They then headed towards where Hank's body was located at after he was killed by Jesus. Sanford held off the A.A.H.W. soldiers, while Deimos went to revive Hank in a magnification chamber.
Madness Combat 9: Aggregation[]
While Deimos was killed by one of The Auditor's possessed Engineers, Sanford gained a new ally in Mag Hank, who defeated the two possessed Engineers and the Mag Agent V3 the Auditor brought along. The two then found themselves face-to-face with the Auditor himself.
The Auditor attacked our heroes, and at first had the upper hand. However, Hank was able to wound the Auditor with electrically-charged punches, forcing the Auditor to retreat and summon 1337 Agents and Engineers to fight the two.
Eventually, Sanford and Hank made their way up to the top of the building where the Auditor was. Hank punched the Auditor several more times, but the Auditor was able to heal himself by absorbing the dead bodies of agents and engineers. Eventually, Hank's punches forced the Auditor to absorb more and more bodies, one of these bodies being the body of Tricky The Clown. Tricky's body caused the Auditor to become unstable. Hank then grabbed Sanford and climbed off the building right before the Auditor exploded.
Other Media[]
Proyect Nexus franchise[]
Sanford appears as one of the two deuteragonists (alongside Deimos). In the first level of the game, Sanford and Deimos are incarcerated, relying on Hank to release them. He and Deimos are the only two playable characters for the rest of the Episode 1 Story Mode levels until the final one, in which Hank returns. In the Story Mode, Sanford has a unique weapon, the hook, which is the only melee weapon that will always return after being thrown and is impossible to discard. He is also a purchasable squadmate in Arena Mode.
In the 2021 version, Sanford is furious saying that they needed Christoff. Hank disagrees and said that all they needed to do is to finish the mission. Sanford tries to reason with Hank by saying that Christoff could fix the project and could save them without compromising the mission. Hank, however, doesn't want to listen to what he is saying, he just wants to follow the mission verbatim and questions why they are still making what he did a big issue. Deimos says that he doesn't care about what Hank thinks about the mission, he just doesn't want to blow the world up. Hank objects saying that Deimos is making this a problem. Deimos then tries to reason with Hank saying that he doesn't have to end it this way. Hank then replies that he hoped it would end up with him killing the two. Sanford and Deimos then have to fight Hank who uses the vents to get to vantage points to shoot the now duo. Throughout the battle Hank will mention stuff like how this fight is pointless and that the two don't stand a chance as he killed a god. After Hank gets killed, Deimos says that Hank should've listened to them. As the two leave the tower, Deimos tries to talk Sanford into coming up with a plan to fix Project Nexus, but Sanford says that they can't fix it and its over.
Personality[]
Sanford is shown to be 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.
When he is slammed into a cliff at high speed by Tricky, Sanford lets out a scream of pain and agony, and his expression goes from one of smug focus to one of terror as Tricky overwhelms him and he hides behind a riot shield for dear life. His face did revert to normal when Hank returned and distracted Tricky. After Hank and Sanford reunite, Sanford notably becomes less involved in combat, preferring to let Hank head in first and provide support, even following at a distance and looking over his shoulder warily.

Trivia[]
- Sanford has so far been the only protagonist in the series who hasn't been canonically killed.
- The series creator, Krinkles, likes him very much because of this.
- Upon learning of Deimos' death in Madness Combat 9: Aggregation, he is only able to react with brief shock and a step back before the Auditor appears, which causes him to frown. Although not confirmed, his friend's death most likely impacted him, as he now hates the Auditor on a more personal level.
- Sanford is the only protagonist who has yet to gain super-human abilities, with Hank having been magnified and Deimos having parts of his body encased in stone.
