Robert Sanders

Robert Sanders is a character in Mafia III.

Info
Robert Sanders is a New Bordeaux radio personality based in Frisco Fields and a philanthropist to many of the city's institutions. A descendant of a Confederate soldier that made his last stand outside the city, he is also the leader of the Bloodhunts, a white supremacist group allied with the Dixmor Project. He is also a close acquaintance to Oliva Carezzo, although he resents having to work with Italian-Cuban-descended organised crime.

Although he does not make a personal appearance until later, his radio show Red Son broadcasts his arch-conservative views at regular intervals on WBYU. The city's PCP racket is also located in a science hall at the university named after him.

As Lincoln Clay tears down the rackets in Frisco Fields, it is revealed that Sanders owns the company that manages the land Frank Carezzo intends to build his casinos on. After enough pressure from Lincoln's war on the Carezzos, Sanders drunkenly swears vengeance on Lincoln during an impromptu broadcast and decides to leave the Carezzos to take matters into his own hands. However, Lincoln instead tracks Robert to a Southern Union rally and kills him first. In a reversal of the Bloodhunts' symbolism, Lincoln ties Robert's corpse to a cross and sets it ablaze.

Robert's death leaves a void on the radio with a member of his broadcasting team emotionally vowing to hunt down those responsible. Conversely, his death is celebrated by Charlie Laveau, the host of Red Son's rival show The Hole Speaks.
