Senator Sandar is an albino common Chimpanzee, an elder politician and government official, Sandar is a traditionalist among apes. He regards humans as wild and untamable animals. As unyielding these views may be, Sandar is far more "progressive" in his thinking than most chimps, and his daughter Ari continually appeals to his more humane instincts regarding humans. Faced with Thade´s excessive military goals, Sandar is ultimately betrayed by the powerful ape general.

Biography

Sandar's power in the Ape senate had kept Ari out of trouble for years. Despite their differences on human equality, Sandar was good friends with Senator Zaius and asked his son General Thade after him at his dinner party. When Sandar had dinner guests over including Thade, Attar and Senator Nado, Ari made a scene and spoke of human equality. Sandar was embarrassed but seemed to be able to do nothing to straighten out his daughter. Ari then helped humans escape into Calima. Fearing for his daughter's life, Sandar was tricked into giving General Thade, a militaristic chimpanzee, absolute control over the ape army.
