Andrew Wesker

Andrew Wesker was a character in QIA.
== Biography ==
Wesker is known to be one of the toughest instructors at the Academy. In spite of this, he was impressed with both Tasneem Hafiz and Blake Kishell, to the point where he was willing to make a recommendation that one of them get an agency post. However, before he could decide, Kishell quit the Academy, meaning that Hafiz got the post. ("Hafiz")
According to Brent Hall, Hafiz was the only person whom Wesker has ever personally recommended for the QIA ("Fugitive").
Wesker briefly became a suspect following the Academy bombing in June 2020, having been set up (unknowingly by Alex Struycken and Gaby Marshall). Echelon member Ida Trent used this opportunity to try and have Wesker blamed for the attack, in retribution for his failing her nephew as a cadet some years earlier. However, after Marshall was revealed as the mastermind behind the bombing, Wesker was exonerated. ("Academy")
Following the Prometheus Leak, Wesker came to London to discuss the impact of the QIDA on the Academy. While there, he met with his old friend Hafiz and told her of his plans to retire. However, after Erika Tod escaped custody following her arrest for the murder of Alicia Karalis, she used her powers to compel Wesker into killing himself. In anger and anguish, Hafiz avenged him by shooting Erika dead just seconds after. ("Thursday")
Wesker's funeral was held on 13th April 2023 in Chicago and was attended, among others, by Hafiz and Enora Gallou from London, Wan Li and Lao Jing from Hong Kong, Blake Kishell and Arnold Kobinsky from Washington, and Kara Mildner of the Echelon. At the funeral, Wesker's brother Leon told Hafiz that he had been suffering from acute depression, did not have a girlfriend or any interest in painting as he had previously alluded to, and rather than planning to retire and travel the world, he had been seeking therapy in Chicago. From all of this, Hafiz later deduced that Erika's powers could only amplify desires already in someone's subconscious, which led her to be wary of Carlos Sánchez, who had earlier tried to murder Sarah Cunnington. ("York")
