 Maybe I can see him fighting with you if he was made Admiral in ME1/ME2 but if he was made councillor/or chairman on the council, why would he be fighting in the mist of the Reaper battle? 

I mean they protected the Council in ME1 during the attack on the Citadel, shouldn't Anderson not be allowed to fight? (If he was Councillor) 

[Robhuzz]

What arcian said. Plus he is a former N7 operative and the first human Spectre candidate. Who would be better to fight alongside you?

[Bluko]

I believe he resigns his position at the Citadel (be it as an Advisor or as Councillor) after the events in one of the books.

He's not a Diplomate or Councillor anymore, just an Admiral. And he was probably Shepard's Defense at the Military Trial.

[Oblivious]

He came to support you in your time of need when the invasion began. Anderson was never the type to sit on his... laurels when things needed done

Because I yelled "ANDERSON! FIGHT WITH ME!" at an Xbox360 with kinect at the mall.

[Hatchetman77]

Because reapers are invading and everyone who can hold a gun and pull a trigger has to start shooting.

I lol'd.

On-topic:

Also remember that he's going to feature in the next novel, Deception, attempting to take action and marshall people against the Reapers. It's likely he had a plan in place at the trial to get Shepard out of there should the worst happen. 

We don't see the events immediately preceeding the demo, it could be that Anderson was next to Shepard when part of the building collapsed or something. 

[SennenScale]

Being a councilor doesn't erase all the time he spent in the alliance military. I don't see Anderson as the type to say, "The Reapers are openly invading Earth! I'm just going to sit in my chair because I'm a councilor now..."

Mass Effect: Retribution alludes to the fact that he was never councillor, the books sort of stick to the storyline that the Council was killed and Udina became Chairman

Again I can see why he would fight with you if he was an admiral

Retribution only says Udina is Councillor, it never says that the Council was sacrificed in ME1 or that Anderson was never a Councillor. We just know that at that time in the novel (which is post-ME2), Anderson isn't councillor and we can deduce that he either stepped down or never became one, the novels do a fairly good job of not retconning any of the player's choices.

Anderson has other things to do in the plot, especially after Retribution is finished, that really prevent him from sitting idle in a council seat on the Citadel.

Yeah read the first ME book, you'll see how bad ass Anderson is. That's the kind of soldier I want fighting along side me.

Cannot remember the page, but in Mass Effect: Ascension it does state that the council underwent rebuilding (suggesting that the original council was killed) and that the alliance fleet took over the Citadel fleets

[CrybabyXD]

ive always wanted anderson as sqad mate...its just too bad its only temp, if up to me i would made him a spectre. I just wonder if the old council is dead if he will still resign  because  the book follow that paragon ending and i let them die.

Not necessarily.If you saved them,then either Anderson or Udina enter the Council,therefore it's been rebuilt either way.

The human councillor was still up for debate in Ascension, yes. The Alliance fleet was helping out because Sovereign desroyed much of the Citadel fleet, regardless if you chose to protect the Destiny Ascension or not. This is hinted at by Captain Bailey as well, when he mentions why the humans have started to fill C-Sec roles. Nothing is explicitly stated about Shepard's decisions from either game, but you are free to interpret the very vague references in the novels as you wish.

[Parah_Salin]

He's a kind of a bad-ass when it comes to a fight. I'd take him over alot of the other ME1/2 squadmates.

[Sjaddix]

He is on Earth and the planet is being owned. What is he suppose to do?

[Apollo Starflare]

Because for whatever reason Anderson ends up with Shepard after the trial is interupted? Judging by where they are something has occured just before we join them in that demo, they are on a random roof so maybe they fell out of a ship or something lol.

[JedTed]

Not to be one of "those people" who complain about everything but, if Anderson resigns as Councilor then what was the point of endorsing him in the first game? Having him on the Council didn't really effect much in ME2 but i has assumed that was just one big decisions that would carry into ME3.

Atleast i got Anderson to re-instate my Spectre status so i geuss that's something.

[KillTheLastRomantic]

He wants to live?

[Richard 060]

Regardless of whether he ended up as Councillor or Admiral in ME2, he's a former N7 operative and prospective Spectre, with years of service under his belt (plus a degree in badassery that isn't far off Shepard's, frankly!).

Seems totally natural that, as soon as the Reapers touch down on Earth, he's donning body armour, grabbing the nearest gun and helping lead the resistance.

[Dannyboy9876]

Udina is Councilor now?

THIS IS AN OUTRAGE

[xSTONEYx187x]

If he resigns, how does he re-instate Shepards Spectre status just as he boards the Normandy in the Mass Effect 3 demo?
