Character Summary

Marshall Anderson is the chief of UNITY — Union of Negroes Inconveniencing Tyranny for the Youth. He leads the UNITY agents in their fight against new-in-town businessman Liam DiCapa. He’s very ambitious and doesn’t hesitate to take any action against his enemies, which is his only real character flaw. He is very even-tempered. In Book 21, he made the Battlers part-time agents in UNITY after finding out how well they fought against DiCapa’s forces.

 

In Book 24, he lent Deyon and Jon a small hand in locating their kidnapped friends. In Book 28, he gave the Battlers information on a series of killings being committed by Goril Primus, DiCapa’s newest killing machine. In Book 32, he introduced them to new agents Richard Montgomery and Jay Dixon. And in Book 33, he appeared just briefly to send an agent to find out what ever could be found out about Les B. Ian’s involvement with DiCapa. He had Jeri Wilkes locate the other Battlers when Predator kidnapped them in Book 34 and J.J. asked for his help in finding them. In Book 35, he mostly directed the Battlers’ efforts in stopping DiCapa’s plot to poison the country’s white population using a poison he stole back in Book 24.

 

In Book 36, Chief Anderson met the girls, Shauna and Diahandra, for the first time, and nearly spilled to the boys the fact that they’d met up with DiCapa’s wife, Susan, a fact he’d been told by Andre Rice and Jeri. He also led the attack that resulted in the arrest of Goril, who’d come back to town to target Aaron.

 

Chief Anderson made his final appearance in Book 40. When DiCapa found out the identities of Shauna and Diahandra — the last two identities he needed to know — he launced an all-out attack on the Battlers that resulted in five of them being kidnapped — Maurice, Aaron, Jon, Shauna, and Diahandra — to be brought to his office building so that he could unmask them on live television. When asked for assistance by Deyon, J.J., and Kesse, Chief Anderson, with help from Richard and Jay, gathered as many of their agents infiltrating the press as possible to expose DiCapa on-air as the genocidal manial he really was. When the plan worked and DiCapa and Susan ended up dead, Chief Anderson dropped a bombshell on Deyon. Now that DiCapa was dead, he and the other Battlers were no longer needed. So they were released from UNITY, which would from then on focus on solving hate crimes since their primary objective of stopping DiCapa’s crimes was finally complete. After a final handshake with Deyon, Chief Anderson went off on his way, back to UNITY and out of the Battlers’ lives. At least for now.
