- Anson has known his share of hardship in his life. Orphaned at a young age, he and his younger brother were forced to live on the streets, doing what they had to do to keep from starving. But while that experience taught his brother to fear and mistrust the world, it had the opposite effect on Anson. Beaten, battered, or bruised, the fighter refuses to stay down, and he doesn’t believe in giving up, on anyone or anything. No person is too broken, no cause too lost. It’s a philosophy that makes him fiercely loyal to his companions, but sometimes it also results in him charging in recklessly when he should stop and think.
