Andrew (アンドリュー, Andoryū?) is the main antagonist of the Cuvitidala Arc. Andrew was a member of the Ratri Clan and a loyal and obedient underling of Peter Ratri. He had a history of ambushing and destroying shelters built by William Minerva, as well as killing orphans who escaped from the farms. He is responsible for the deaths of Yugo and Lucas and several other children and seriously injured Chris and Dominic during the Shelter Raid.
History[]
Andrew was born on the "Meditation Side" of the Human World.[1] Not much was known about Andrew's past, but at some point he became affiliated with the Ratri Clan and began working under Peter Ratri as an assassin. Later, he received a seven-man strong team under his command with whom he cooperated closely.
Appearance[]
Andrew was a tall and slim man with tan skin and short white hair with black streaks. He wore a pair of circular-lense glasses over his narrow yet intimidating hazel-colored eyes, and a dark-colored business suit when he met Phil in Grace Field.[2] When working as an assassin under Peter Ratri's commands, Andrew wore a black uniform under a grey bulletproof vest in which kept a rifle when he and his team ambushed the shelter the escaped orphans were in.[3]
Andrew's disfigured face.
After Mister and Lucas blew up the shelter, the explosion left Andrew physically scathed. Andrew was covered in blood and tattered clothes. The left side of his face was severely deformed and charred, with blood dripping down from his face to his feet. What was left is a hideous and terrifying expanse of the muscles, tendons and bone structure beneath. His left eye was left bulging right on top of his naked eye socket, a ragged gap in his cheek offered a glimpse of an exposed jawbone and a strip of raw gristle stretching vertically across what remained of Andrew's mouth, further implying his unstable psyche.[4]
Personality[]
Andrew laughs hysterically, showing the insanity and mental instability he received from the explosion.
Andrew appeared as a calm and serious man. When he was assigned to investigate Phil after his new caretaker, Yukko became suspicious that Phil has figured out the secret. Andrew greeted Phil with a stoic and emotionless look on his face, which soon switches to an intimidating one as he sought to threaten Phil. When Andrew and his team ambushed the shelter Emma and her comrades were in, he greeted them by explaining how it has been a pain for him to "weed out" the shelters, as he described how he would slaughter them. Implying how Andrew has been consistent with his job of massacring inhabitants in shelters of William Minerva, showing the merciless side of him. Andrew holds absolutely no regard for the children and sees them as nothing more than food, property and worthless and disposable if they are not going to fulfill their "purpose" of being eaten. He will kill or seriously injure them with a blank face. Although, sometimes he acts more sadistically and greatly enjoys killing or injuring them.
After Mister orchestrated an explosion in an attempt to kill Andrew, Andrew miraculously survived, at a cost of having his face severely disfigured along with his psyche being unstabilized. Andrew's serious and emotionless persona is now replaced with an insane, overwrought one. Evident when he laughs hysterically as he explained how lucky he was to survive as "heaven is definitely on his side".[5] Andrew's laugh further implied the mental breakdown he received from the explosion, as well as his loss of any semblance of control towards his emotions and actions.
Andrew was also remarkably insensitive to pain. When Emma and Oliver shot an already injured Andrew, the latter did not flinch from his injuries and was even able to move without much difficulty as he attacked Dominic.[6]
Plot[]
Cuvitidala Arc[]
On March 2046, Andrew was assigned by Ratri to hunt down the escapees of Grace Field and Grand Valley. Andrew managed to track down the shelter they thought to be hiding in but was unsuccessful in catching the escapees as the shelter turned out to be a decoy.
Andrew later contacted Peter Ratri over a phone, as he learned how the decoy shelter was part William Minerva's plan which was formulated to trick enemies from hijacking the actual shelter.[7]
Later during the year, Andrew was assigned to look for Phil after his new caretaker, Yukko became suspicious that Phil has figured out the secret. Andrew greeted Phil impassively, which soon switched to a much more intimidating and threatening demeanor, as he demanded to have a talk with him.[8]
After an unknown amount of time, Andrew continued his search for the children by tracking down every dummy shelter he could find, after which he destroyed them to make sure that nobody could use the dummy shelters in the foreseeable future.
Andrew ambushed Shelter B06-32.
A year and a half later, Andrew tracked down Emma and her friends in Shelter B06-32 as he blew up the walls of the place and started to hunt them down.[9] He began to search for the children and as soon as he found them, he shot and killed Michael and Johnny who tried to escape through a secret underground passage and Chris who he shot in the left eye. The children threw a gas grenade at him, but Andrew was well prepared as he and his team put their gas masks on and continued to search for the children.
Mister and Lucas started a counter-attack as they killed three comrades of Andrew's, infuriating the latter as he decided to hunt down the two. A fierce gunfight followed in which two members of Andrew's team were killed by Mister and Lucas but at the price that both men were hit several times by the gunfire. Mister and Lucas managed to flee to the weapon room, all to gain time to ensure that the children could escape. After which Andrew and the two remaining members of his team kept Mister and Lucas at gunpoint, ready to finish them off. Mister then gave a sign to Lucas, after which the latter unexpectedly pointed his gun at a gas cylinder which he then shot, resulting in a huge explosion, seemingly killing all men, including Mister and Lucas in the process.[citation needed]
Andrew chasing after Mister as he attempted to shoot him.
Miraculously, Andrew survived the explosion, leaving him heavily injured, covered in blood and burns, after which he pursued the escaped children. After a day of searching, he saw Alicia, Dominic, Mary, Malcolm and Fred leave their hideout.[10] Andrew shot Dominic in his leg, held Alicia hostage, and killed off Mary, Malcolm, Fred and later Elliot who came to search for the orphans with Emma, Ray, Don, and Gillian. Whilst grabbing onto Alicia's neck, Andrew furiously demands the four to get down on their knees. The four, however, stood up and prepared to shoot Andrew when Zack and the other came to rescue them.
Unafraid of the orphans, Andrew explained how Mister and Lucas died in the explosion and how he was lucky enough to survive because how "heaven is definitely on his side". The death of Mister and Lucas left the orphans in utter shock as Andrew soon led out a hysterical laugh, demanding the orphans to dare to shoot him.[11]
Pointing his rifle at Alicia, Andrew was about to shoot her before Oliver shot him first instead. As Zack and Emma rescued Alicia from Andrew. Andrew stomped on Dominic's back and attempted to kill him before a giant wild demon appeared behind him. The demon pounced onto Andrew and gobbled him up, killing him in the process while Emma rescued Dominic.[12]
Skills and Abilities[]
Skilled Accuracy[]
Andrew is known for his good marksmanship and great accuracy. This was shown when he shot and killed multiple orphans with ease who tried to escape the shelter and when he chased Mister and Lucas in the shelter. While he shot at them, he succeeded in hitting them numerous times.
Relationships[]
Peter Ratri[]
Andrew is an underling of Ratri, and is hence obedient and cooperative to his commands and orders, as he was often assigned by him to ambush shelters and hunt down escapees from the orphanage.
Phil[]
Andrew sees Phil as nothing more than mere cattle, whose only purpose in life is to be raised and eaten. He also taunts him by intimidating him with his words and appearance when he met Phil for the first time. While the exact details of Andrew's conversation with Phil remain a mystery, Kaiu Shirai has revealed that Andrew did not know that Phil knew everything, but he did trick Phil into confessing a thing or two. Andrew learned that Phil was an intelligent kid and liked Emma, so he asked Phil a few things (such as what kind of people they were). He questioned several other children in addition to Phil, but he questioned Phil first and Phil was his main interest.[1]
Emma[]
Andrew thinks of Emma as the leader of the escaped children and thus, he points most of his attention to her. He even claims after he held Alicia hostage so that Emma can't shoot him because he is a human being just like her, implying that Emma is weak. Andrew clearly shows a great deal of hatred towards Emma after everything that happened at the time of the explosion.
