Description
Colonel Sanders is a character in the Taboo Tattoo anime, portrayed as a high-ranking officer within the United States Army. His background and identity are defined by his military career and his deep-seated patriotism. As a colonel, he holds a significant command position and is established as one of the individuals who holds responsibility for the existence and management of the mystical tattoos, known as Glyphs, which serve as the central superhuman weapons in the series.
In terms of personality, Colonel Sanders is characterized as a staunch American patriot, with his decisions and actions heavily influenced by his loyalty to his country. His motivations are largely tied to his military duty and the overarching objectives of the United States within the conflict. He is seen as part of the chain of command that deploys tattooed soldiers, known as Pattern users, into combat situations to achieve strategic goals.
Colonel Sanders plays a supporting but pivotal role in the series as a commander on the ground for the American forces. His primary function is to lead military operations against opposing forces, particularly those from the Kingdom of Selinistan, which seeks to collect the powerful Glyphs. He is placed in charge of coordinating the Pattern users under the American banner during critical engagements. His most notable moment in the story occurs during a major confrontation, where he suffers severe injuries in battle. He is found in a state where he is unable to continue fighting or issue commands effectively. Consequently, he is forced to relinquish command of the operation to a subordinate, Major Leo Burns, marking his removal from active leadership in that specific incident.
Key relationships include his professional connection with the soldiers under his command, such as the skilled fighter Lisa Lovelock, who discovers him wounded on the battlefield, and Major Leo Burns, who assumes command when Sanders is incapacitated. He also had a prior connection to Professor Wiseman, as both were involved in the circumstances surrounding the tattoos.
Development of Colonel Sanders is limited within the anime, as his role is primarily functional rather than transformational. His character arc, if any, revolves around his duty as a commander and his failure to remain operational at a crucial moment, which forces others to step into his role. His injuries serve as a narrative device to highlight the overwhelming power of the enemy and to pass leadership to other characters.
Regarding his abilities, Colonel Sanders is not depicted as a direct combatant or a Pattern user with supernatural fighting skills. His notable abilities are those of a military strategist and a commander, leading forces from a position of authority rather than on the front lines. His primary asset is his rank and his authority to direct operations, manage soldiers, and coordinate the deployment of tattooed individuals. Unlike many other significant characters in Taboo Tattoo, he does not demonstrate superhuman powers or a personal combat tattoo. His effectiveness is tied to his leadership, and when he is physically incapacitated by enemy action, he is rendered unable to fulfill his command role.
