Andrzej (Polish Series)

Andrzej Aleksander Adolwowski (1899-1941) is one of the ghosts that haunts The House Of The Poniatowski Family from Dominowojo's Polish version of Ghosts. He is a ghost of an officer from the Second World War. 
== Personality ==
Andrzej, during his life, was a very determined man who aspired to be the best military officer the Polish army has ever seen - and possibly even move up a rank from that. He was seen as a person who knew what he was doing, keeping every topic businesslike, even when it was about something as unimportant as popping off to the loo. He liked to keep stern and handle everything professionally. These characteristics he admired were what made him an officer. Andrzej loved his point of leadership and cherished it; he would not let anything make him lose his job, thus he stayed very close to schedule and avoided ignoring any orders from people of higher ranks than him. Andrzej also had a bit of an adventurous side to him, as he would always be eager to go on any mission. This showed his willingness to listen to orders too, as well as his excitement to show off his leader skills if he had to take some men with him on the mission.
As a ghost, Andrzej is still much like when he was alive but since his death he gained an obsession with warfare since he missed the times of it from his life in the '40s. He likes to stay formal when talking to the other ghosts even though he knew all of them for decades. He sees himself as the leader of the ghosts, but the others don't like to recognise him as that. He gets very irritated if someone says unlikely, and he treats being offended like a war declaration.
== Appearance ==
Before his death and during much of his time in the military, Andrzej wore an old-fashioned army uniform similar to the Captain in BBC Ghosts, but with a more Polish style; he had the Polish Eagle on his chest pocket and displayed some handsome badges on his suit. He also liked to wear a dark green tie quite tightly, an always polished leather belt and neat hobnail boots or big galoshes, depending on what missions he was on.
When he died after his final spy mission, Andrzej dressed like a typical Nazi soldier to blend in with the enemy - he even shaved his old moustache and put a fake toothbrush one on like Hitler. As a ghost, he has a bloody gunshot wound under his chest pocket. 
In terms of physical appearance, Andrzej had a short but well kept handlebar moustache which made him look manly (as said above, he changed it to a toothbrush one before death) and black, gelled and combed over hair. 
== Life ==
Sometime in the First World War, Andzrej joined the army and fought in the trenches where unlike the other survivors of the war, he described the trenches as the best times of his life, since he was very fond of fighting in tough conditions. His attitude to being a soldier and his leadership skills led to him moving up to the rank of Officer.
In 1939 when Nazi Germany invaded Poland, Andrzej had the honour of using the House Of The Poniatowski Family (which was given to the army on the wishes of the house's owner) as a military base which he ran. From that time on, Andrzej was in charge of executing the orders of his general by governing missions for Andrzej's men. Most of the missions involved spying on Nazi bases, since the house was close to the German border. Andrzej was very respectable and seen as a warring professional by everyone... Until a night in 1941 after he was coming back from a very important solo mission in which he had to steal some very secret information from the Germans; he came back to his base in the middle of the night with the sacred papers, but his Nazi soldier disguise got two of his men mistaken for him to be a German, so they shot him to death. When they got close to his body, they realised that he was in fact their officer - they killed their own leader. 
In order for the rest of the army to not raise suspicion, they stole the information from Andrzej, dumped his body far inside the nearby forest and took all the glory by saying that Andrzej had betrayed them all. For such "heroism", the two men got moved up a rank, the one who shot Andrzej becoming the new officer.
