BACKSTORY
When Prince Derek was born, the Kingdom collapsed after Queen Elatha imprisoned everyone inside the island, killed those who tried to fight back and even banned those who weren’t needed. Andy’s mother was one of them.
Silé was a woman who had a first child, those who were weak against the green flames of the Queen went mad and killed their loved ones and even killed themselves from the incredible power that controlled them. She got banned even if the crime was caused by the green flames. However she was pregnant when that happened.
Vladimir Kearney got banned as well, and the two of them tried to survive in Inishnabro. Guardians from the Kingdom were observing them, ready to take the child back to the Kingdom once it was born.
Silé and Vladimir had to kill their own people to survive, the only thing they could do was to join the hunters who tried to make a coup against the Queen. The reasons for Vladimir to join Silé were not only because he knew she wasn’t truly guilty, but because they were family. Her husband and Vladimir’s older brother, Conn, died fighting the Queen as well.
However, the middle brother of the Kearney family was cursed with misfortune, which ended up affecting his loved ones making their lives miserable and even threatened by death. He ended up leaving Silé and baby Andrew alone, since it was better for them to stay away from him.
Silé raised Andy ‘till the age of four, when she casted a spell on him to suppress his powers so he could easily join the Hunters, since Driaochtas could be considered spies… She knew she couldn’t take care of him anymore and left him a magic bag to keep his stuff safe.
Then, Andy got raised by the hunters who taught him how to live in the forest, how to hunt and even kill people. At the age of 11, Andy met Derek, who was just a terrified child who runs away from the Kingdom. From the very beginning he was suspicious that something seemed of from the boy, and that was by the peculiar eye color of his eyes. However, Andy’s best friend, Charlotte, trusted Derek like an important friend despite of their short time together. She ends up being killed by a wandering vampire, the prince, who was the only one by her side at that moment attempted to kill the monster and accidentally showing up his blue flames, spotted by Andy; the hunters began to hunt the prince.

Somehow, Derek managed to escape, and Andy took many years of training, tracking and searching for the prince to achieve his vengeance. During that time he met Thomas Sillything, who became his friend and even encouraged him to be a bit more “civilized” by having a phone and keep modern contact. Later, when Thomas invited him to his house he meets Derek and almost start killing each other in the apartment, when the priest stops them he ask for the two of them for an explanation, and then Andrew learns the truth. But, their grudges against each other exist yet and that is because both of them had a crush on the diseased Charlotte.

It was later on revealed by Thomas and Gallerian that he was the cousin of Derek and young priest, as he felt quite disturbed with the first boy, he is pretty happy about being related to Thomas, and that also explain why they have similar hobbies and likings. He is curious about his family and wants to know more about its past.



Equipment
Bow
Andy's bow was a gift from one of the hunters who took care of him.
Arrows
• Normal Arrows (He makes them from rocks, metal, or he just makes wooden arrows)
• Paralyzing Arrows (Andy use them when he is hunting animals, the effect depends on the weight and height of the target)
• Separation arrows (These arrows when they are shot they began being one, but then they turn into 4)
• He can also buy arrows, depending of the client, he asks for magic weapons as well

Bag
Andy's bag was the only thing his mother left to him. It has the ability to contain a lot of stuff without looking big or heavy. Most of Andy's stuff is inside of it. Clothing, tools, a first aid box (Despite he likes to use natural elements such as plants or other stuff), just the necessary to survive, despite of it, he doesn't have a tent.

Skills
Leon Stíl Troid (Lion Fighting style): Although he has learned boxing, Andy combines some of these skills with street fighting as well as survival instinct. When he is provoked, Andy leaves aside the moral or the ethic of quarrel, making his style more wild, to the point of using teeth and nails. Andy stalks his target, starting with slow movements, while he analyzes what his opponent does, not only serves to measure the battle, but also works to know more of the other.

Réalta Amháin Sa Spéir (One Star in the Sky): Andy uses a combination of his arrows to distract, lure and ambush his enemy. When he uses this technique, he begins with arrows of light that grab the attention of his opponent causing him to approach Andy's position. Once the enemy begins to approach, Andy begins to ambush him with his separation arrows, creating the illusion that they are more than a single archer.
Contúirt Sa Dorchadas (Danger in the dark): While Andy identifies more with dogs, he possesses a skill that perfectly mimics the stealth of a cat, being in this mode he is not interested in "Do not attack an enemy in the back." The best attack is always a surprise attack. This ability can fail if Andy is not fully focused, so it is important for him to relax his mind before using it.

Tracking: This is the main reason why Andy identifies with dogs, his nose is sharp enough to recognize animals or people. He can know their position even if they are more than 100 meters away, but not more than 300 meters. The bad part of this is that he cannot tolerate strong smells.
