Andraeus Phinn

== Overview ==
Andraeus Gaius Phinn was an Iron Federation and Havanite officer, inventor, military engineer, writer, and small arms designer. He is most famous for developing the Piledriver AVL and its improvements, as well as the accompanying HEDP, APAT, and HEAI ammunition types.
Phinn was, according to himself, a self-taught tinkerer who combined innate mechanical skills with the study of weaponry to design arms that achieved battlefield ubiquity. Even though Phinn felt sorrow at the weapons' uncontrolled distribution, he took pride in his inventions and in their reputation for reliability, emphasizing that his launcher is "really cool".
