Andrew is a large, muscular man who appears to be in his late 40s, with salt-and-pepper hair that gives him an air of distinguished authority. His physique reflects his past in the military, and he carries himself with a quiet confidence that is far from overbearing. His widening middle hints at a man who no longer needs to prove himself physically but remains more than capable when called into action.

When not in tactical gear, Andrew dresses in professionally tailored reinforced suits that blend style with practicality. His attractive features and calm demeanor make him a reassuring presence in most situations. However, those who cross him or his associates quickly find that, that same calmness is wildly unsettling, hiding a razor-sharp intellect and unflinching resolve.

History

Andrew Francis was born in 1971 in a small town in Pennsylvania. The son of a factory foreman and a schoolteacher, he grew up with a strong work ethic and a natural

curiosity about the world. Always drawn to adventure, he enlisted in the military at 18, where he served with distinction in Force Recon. During his service, Andrew developed a knack for observation, stealth, and marksmanship - skills that earned him a reputation as a reliable and resourceful combatant.

After a decade in the military, Andrew left the service and became a private military contractor. His work took him across the globe, where he learned to navigate the murky waters of espionage, covert operations, and human conflict. Over time, his experiences hardened him but also gave him a deep respect for culture and people who survive under immense pressure.

In his mid-30s, Andrew retired from active fieldwork, disillusioned with the mercenary's world of moral ambiguity. He transitioned into investigative work, leveraging his expertise to track missing persons and solve cold cases for high-profile clients. While successful, he found the work isolating and unfulfilling - until a chance encounter with Nasrin Karim changed the trajectory of his life.

Nasrin saw potential in Andrew, not just as a skilled operator, but as someone who could understand her need for discretion, precision, and pragmatism. Over tme, Andrew became her confidant, facilitator, and trusted partner. Though he is fully aware of Nasrin's vampiric nature, he respects her for her discipline, intelligence, and adherence to her own moral code. Now in his late 50s, Andrew remains by her side, helping manage the complex web of duties she undertakes as an assassin and fixer.

Andrew speaks English and Farsi.
