Deimos (occasionally misspelled by Matt Jolly as "Diemos") is the central/supporting protagonist who first appears alongsideSanford in Madness Depredation. He seems to prefer firearms over melee weapons. He has a bandaged head (in Madness Combat 5.5, 6.5, 7.5 & 9), and wears a headset and visor and has been seen wearing a vest with a white tank-top underneath. His first chronological appearance in the series is in Madness Combat 5: Depredation, and he appears again in Madness Combat 5.5 as one of the protagonists, and makes his last appearance alive so far in Madness Combat 9: Aggregation. Overall, Deimos has killed 164 people in the series, which amounts to around 15% of the series' total kills. His partner is Sanford. Deimos carries Hank's body for most of Aggregation, and is also the one who resurrects him. It is hinted that he, Hank and Sanford are part of some anti-AAHW or anti-Auditor rebel organization, for he is seen talking through his headset to an as-yet-unidentified person. The fact that they belong to their own organization would explain why they didn't properly assist Hank in fighting Tricky in Madness 5, as they might have been going for another objective. As we see in Madness 5.5 they have other business to deal with than helping Hank, though no proper goal seems to appear in either this episode or its sequel, Madness 6.5. Though, it could also be because the two were frightened of Tricky, and they wanted to escape so they could re-arm themselves and plan out their next objective.
Deimos has always been the driver: he drove the car in Madness Combat 5, as well as the truck in Madness Combat 9 and flew a helicopter at the end of Madness 6.5, although he did not drive the car he and Sanford were in at the beginning of Madness Combat 9. He also drove the truck in Incident: 100A when they kidnapped the grunt while Sanford was in the back of the truck.

In his first appearance, Deimos appears at the end of the animation along with Sanford. He is driving a convertible, while Sanford brings Hank a katana so that he can fight Tricky. He is then crushed by the Flying Party with his partner Sanford. In this episode, they both appear as plain grunts.
