Andrew Deathbringer/Behind the Scenes

==Origin==
The origin of Andrew Deathbringer came when 1,000 Eyes (AKA Diesel 11) created the PIC. He needed some base pirates, and decided to use a pirate name generator to see if any inspiration could come from that. One of the names it gave him was "Andrew Deathbringer" and, liking the name, he created the character around it.
Deathbringer's backstory also has an inspiration, but as it has not been revealed as of yet, we will refrain from mentioning its origin until it becomes a part of the story.
==Why Didn't Deathbringer Become The PIC's Next Leader?==
Deathbringer had two chances to become the PIC's next leader. If you noticed in The Game, Anthrax Slayer was only the second mate of the PIC; Andrew Deathbringer was the first mate. This was the same case when White was in command, only Essex was the second mate. This brings up an interesting question - why exactly did Essex and Slayer succeed as the next leaders instead of Deathbringer?
Outside of The Game canon, the conundrum happened likely do to Toz thinking Slayer was the second-in-command; after all, he is arguably their most prominent member. That said, there's also a canon explanation as well.
Deathbringer is a fairly silent person, and not much of a leader, though a wise and skillful fighter. Essex and Slayer, on the other hand, have inspiring, "call to arms" personalities, and are born leaders. Thus, while Deathbringer remains the first mate, it was always intended that Essex and Slayer would be the successors - and if Deathbringer minds, he certainly doesn't say anything about it.
