## **History**

### **Early Life**

At the age of five, Andy was visited by a future version of Prue, Piper and Phoebe Halliwell, who accidentally traveled back in time due to a binding spell. After young Piper froze Andy, Penny unfroze him and erased his memories, implying she had done so several times before.

During his teenage years, Andy fell in love with Prue and the two started a romantic and sexual relationship. The two of them missed their own prom in order to be alone together.

Andy and his family later moved to Portland. Once there, he met his future wife, Susan and became a highly qualified police inspector in the city. Although, the two would later divorce before he finally returned to San Francisco in the year of 1998. He also kept tabs on the sisters, as he knew that Prue was dating Roger.

In 1975, he was visited by future versions of the Halliwell sisters, who accidentally traveled back in time to stop their mother from making a pact with the warlock Nicholas. During their time in the past, the sisters realized that they had their powers when they w often used them on Andy. Although Penny would always 1980s, Andy and his parents left San Francisco. In 1998, he returned to the city and became an inspector at the San Francisco Police Department like his father.

### Reuniting with Prue

Shortly after being called back to San Francisco, he was called to a homicide incident. The event involved a Wiccan practitioner by the name of Serena Fredrick, who was violently killed by an athame. As he was leaving the scene, he bumped into Jeremy Burns, a crime reporter and the warlock responsible for the murders.

Andy went to the hospital to speak with a doctor. As he stated his name to a nurse, he turned to his side to find Prue standing there. The two of them talked and grabbed a cup of coffee as they waited. They parted ways when Phoebe was released. The following day, Andy arrived at the manor and asked Prue out for a date. However, as things were complicated due to her newfound magic, Prue turned him down. As he left, Andy recognized Kit from Serena's apartment.

Sometime later, Prue and Andy had a date and slept together, after which Prue quickly left his apartment before he woke up. Meanwhile, Andy investigated the disappearance of Brittany Reynolds and other women in the area. He later called Prue to ask why she disappeared, though their connection was severed when Prue entered the elevator at Buckland Auction House. He later tried to talk again at Quake, but Piper accidentally froze time.

Andy and Prue went out to dinner, where Prue tried to explain her life was complicated at the moment and didn't want to get seriously involved. They agreed to take things slowly. Andy later figured out the one behind the disappearances was Stefan and went to his studio. However, the sisters had already banished him. They pretended that Phoebe had a flat tire, leading to Andy to comment that Phoebe was lucky for not becoming his next victim. Their presence there did cause Andy to grow more suspicious of the sisters.

Andy was present at the party thrown by the Shapeshifters that had occupied the house across from the manor. During the party, he was bothered by Fritz about parking tickets. One of the shapeshifters later impersonated Andy in an attempt to get the Book of Shadows. Prue later confided in Andy about her issues with her father being back and he dropped her off at the restaurant he was having dinner with her sisters.

Shortly before her birthday, Andy surprised Prue with a weekend getaway. However, she then caught Andy having dinner with his ex-wife, Susan Trudeau. When she introduced herself as his wife, Prue left and angrily flung a dessert cart into Andy, causing him to trip. He later visited her at Buckland and they argued, at which point Andy remarked that he wasn't the only one keeping secrets. However, they later made up when Andy was present at her surprise party.

Andy and Darryl's next case involved a waitress from Quake found dead in apartment with all her bones crushed. They went to see Whitaker Berman in his lab, as he dated the first victim who died under similar circumstances. Darryl was unconvinced, as the man was in a wheelchair, but Andy believed he was using his research to leap into their dreams and kill them. Andy went back to the lab just as Whitaker was trying to kill Prue in her dream. However, she was able to beat him at his own game, leading to his mysterious death in front of Andy.

Andy next investigated the death of Father Trask right before the Spencer wedding, which Piper was catering. As he was found with a jeweled poignard, Andy went to Prue to learn more about it. By checking security cameras, Andy was able to find footage of Kirsten and Grace Spencer arguing about the murder. However, as they went to the wedding, they found everyone in a panic due to the storm Hecate had summoned. After Hecate and her minions were banished, Prue returned the poignard to a confused Andy.

Andy became frustrated with Prue after she bailed on him during several dates due to magical emergencies, leading him to ends things with her. Sometime later, Prue decided to cast a truth spell so she can tell Andy the truth. She showed him her power and explained she was a witch. Andy eventually admitted that he could not accept it, after which his memories were erased by the spell.

Andy and Darryl's next case involved a man jumping several stories out of Buckland Auction House. Andy instantly knew he came from Prue's office and interviewed Rex and Hannah, who claimed to have heard a fight. When the same man killed a lawyer with the name Halliwell, Andy went to the manor and demanded to see Prue, though Phoebe wouldn't let him in without a warrant.

Andy later followed Prue and saw her steal a feather from the museum. He demanded answers, though Prue used her powers to set off his airbag and ran away. Andy returned to the office and wanted to get a warrant, though Darryl convinced him to stand down, as there wasn't a real case against her.

Rex and Hannah later framed Prue for the theft of a priceless tiara. Andy refused to believe she was guilty, though Darryl noted that all evidence pointed at her. When they searched the manor, they almost found the tiara, but Piper froze them. Rex astral projected into the room and kept pointing Andy to the tiara, forcing the sisters to keep moving it until he gave up.

Rex and Hannah then killed Jaime, the security guard who saw Prue with the tiara and staged it for Prue to find the body, along with a videotape showing her with the tiara. Andy had no choice but to arrest Prue for murder. Andy was suspicious of how easy things were going, though Darryl pointed out his personal feelings might be involved.

While the sisters realized that Rex and Hannah were warlocks after their powers, Andy discovered they were imposters and that they had framed Prue. However, he and Darryl were unable to arrest the two, as the sisters had already vanquished them, leading to Prue being cleared of all charges.

When another mysterious death was linked to Buckland Auction House, Andy was not surprised when the victim had Prue's business card. When Andy went to see Prue, he told her that she could always call him in she was in trouble.

When Piper was attacked at the park by an unknown creature, Andy called her sisters and met them at the hospital. He also interrogated Billy Waters, who chased off the creature with a flare gun, and met FBI agent Fallon. She was surprised when Andy believed the creature to be supernatural, at which point Andy replied that he had learned to keep an open mind.

As they worked the case, Andy called Piper to check on her and Fallon questioned his connection to the sisters. He explained his past with Prue and revealed that all the victims were AB negative and killed around a full moon. They next investigated the murder of Billy, which Andy believed was due to the creature protecting its secret. They informed Piper about the murder and she told them the creature, a Wendigo, looked human during the day.

Andy and Fallon went to stake out the park and talked about their love lives. Andy believed she was attempting to flirt with him, but she revealed herself to the Wendigo and knocked him out. Phoebe had a premonition about Andy being attacked, so she and Prue rushed to the park and chased Fallon away with a flare gun. After the sisters vanquished Fallon, Andy's wounds healed and Prue told him the truth about what happened.

When three young women were mysteriously killed, Andy went to see Prue, the last person to see one of the victims. Andy questioned what she was doing at an occult bookstore and Prue told him it was for Phoebe. Andy and Darryl then investigated another murder and discovered that Prue was the last person there yet again. When they went to see Prue, they found her terrified in the bathroom, having nearly been killed by her fear of drowning by Barbas. Prue lied and said that she had soap in her eyes and lied about knowing the murder victim through Buckland. Realizing that she was not going to tell the truth, Andy and Darryl left as her sisters arrived

When Prue got a message through the Spirit Board from a boy named Max, she asked Andy for help, though he couldn't find anything. However, he later found information about a break-in where Max was involved. Andy asked Prue to tell him what was going on, though she refused. Andy later discovered the guy Max was with was a known bank robber. Phoebe then called him to ask if he had seen Prue, though she ended the call when Andy started asking more questions. Prue was able to save Max and locked the robbers in a vault, allowing the cops to find them.

When a gasman possessed by the Woogyman attacked Piper, the sisters called the police and Andy and Darryl arrived to investigate. As the evil influence spread, Darryl went to break up a fight between neighbors while Andy went to the manor. Just as a possessed Phoebe let him in, Piper froze them both, allowing her and Prue to sneak inside. When the fight escalated, Darryl called for help and Andy pulled out his gun due to the Woogyman's influence. Darryl tackled him, causing Andy to regain his senses, though he was suspended for two weeks due to the incident.

When Prue cast a spell to increase her power to fight a Lord of War, she was split into three separate Prue's with different personality aspects. When Andy arrived with concert tickets they had ordered months ago, pink Prue opened the door. Andy handed her the tickets, though he suggested they could go together as friends.

Andy was later shocked and heartbroken to see pink Prue's body in the morgue, having been killed by Gabriel Statler. When he went to inform her sisters. Phoebe reacted casually when she learned it was pink Prue, which angered Andy. However, he was shocked to see blue Prue enter the room with Piper. The sisters tried to convince him it was likely just a look-a-like, though he didn't believe them, especially since blue Prue knew nothing about the concert tickets.

Andy had the coroner run fingerprints, which came back positive for Prue, and he told the coroner to keep it between them. He then took Prue to the morgue to show her the body, though it had disappeared after the sisters had vanquished Gabriel.

Andy was furious when his priest, Father Austin, was seemingly attacked by Brendan Rowe. He later interviewed a young woman kidnapped by the Rowe brothers and she told him that she had been saved by three women, one of which was named Prue. Andy angrily confronted Prue and demanded answers, though she denied knowing anything about the case.

Andy later apologized to Prue about his reaction and informed her that father Austin would make a full recovery. He told her that Brendan's brothers had been identified as the attackers, clearing Brendan's name. Andy asked about their whereabouts and Prue replied that he would likely never find them.

Andy and Darryl investigated the death of Jerry Cartwright, a man who was seemingly chocked in the middle of a crowd without anyone seeing it. Meanwhile, Andy was confronted by Eric Lohman, a reporter who had seen Prue use her powers in an attempt to rescue David Hatcher from a Grimlock. Andy then assigned himself to the kidnapping case.

Andy went to Prue and told her about Lohman. He offered his help and asked Prue to finally tell him the truth. Prue remained silent and Andy left disappointed. As he heard Prue mention Brent Miller, Andy went to see him and learned the sisters were going to the sewers. Andy entered the sewers and was attacked by a Grimlock, though Prue used her power to chase it off. She then asked Andy to take an injured Piper outside. Prue then vanquished the Grimlocks and helped the kidnapped kids escape.

Darryl later asked Andy about the kids and Andy lied the kids had merely gotten lost, while Lohman, who had been killed by the demons, had fallen and broken his neck.

Sometime later, Andy and Darryl looked into a murder where the only fingerprints found matched a prisoner executed decades earlier. Suspecting magic, Andy went to see Prue and Phoebe, who told him that the killer was a ghost.

When the Book of Shadows opened on the truth spell, Prue was forced to confess that she had used it on Andy earlier. He became angry when he learned that Prue had broken up with him for that reason, stating that she should have given him more time to adjust. He then retrieved the murder weapon, so Phoebe could get a premonition about the next murder, allowing them to stop Ward in time.

Andy took the intended victim to the station, where Darryl confronted him about his suspicious knowledge of the case. Darryl then revealed that he had been interviewed by Internal Affairs. Andy was then called in for questioning by Inspector Rodriguez, who asked him about all his unsolved cases.

When Andy went to the manor, he found Prue after she stopped her heart to vanquish Ward. He performed CPR and managed to bring her back. He later helped Prue out at Buckland when Claire Pryce questioned her absence. As they talked, Andy admitted that he wanted a normal life, which was something he could never have with Prue.

The investigation caused tension between Andy and Darryl, as the former refused to share what he knew. Andy later met with Prue at Quake and informed her about the investigation. Prue felt guilty as all unsolved cases involved her and her sisters, though Andy assured her it was his own choice. Prue then asked Andy to track down Daisy, who was being targeted by the Darklighter Alec.

Andy and Prue arrived a motel in time to rescue Daisy, though Alec escaped. However, as the motel manager had been murdered, his presence at the motel raised further questions with Inspector Rodriguez. Andy refused to answer and instead turned in his badge and gun, leading to his suspension. Andy met with Prue to warn her. When Prue asked how Andy could give up everything, he replied that it was because of all the innocents she and her sisters had saved.

Andy later met with Darryl and informed him that all unsolved cases were connected to Prue. Their conversation was overheard by Rodriquez, who proceeded to kill his partner after revealing his demonic nature.

### **Death**

In 1999, Phoebe Halliwell received a premonition of the demon known as Rodriguez killing Andy with an Energy Ball. Although unknown to them at the time, Rodriguez was working with Tempus, a demonic Sorcerer who was able to manipulate time, who was sent by the Source to help Rodriguez kill The Charmed Ones. Unbeknownst to the sisters or Andy that Rodriquez was in fact a demon, not an employee of Internal Affairs, Andy was called in for questioning by him about the murder of Inspector Anderson.

During questioning, Rodriguez told him his awareness of the many unsolved cases involving him and the Halliwells. Andy refused to say anything.

Rodriguez arrived at the house at 6:00pm, shoots an energy ball and it hits Phoebe, killing her. Rodriguez is then destroyed and time reverses itself, going back to the morning of the same day. The same course of events happen, except Phoebe as well as Piper are killed the second time around. Since, once again, Rodriguez failed in killing all the Charmed ones, Tempus resets time.

When Rodriguez went to the Manor a third time, Andy saw that Kit hissed at Rodriguez and his eyes went red. When he got into the house, Rodriguez already shot an energy ball at the sisters and that Prue is unconscious, due to Piper pushes her out of the path of the ball. Andy tried to shoot Rodriguez thinking it would kill him, but Rodriguez fired an energy ball, hitting Andy, sending him across the room and smashing into the Living Room Hutch.

Andy then met Prue in the Ghostly Plane, and he tells her he knows it was his time to go and that they weren't meant to save him after all, though he was fine with it. He told Prue to go back and stop time from reversing so that his death won't be in vain before vanishing. Prue then regained consciousness and saw Andy's lifeless body on the floor. Reluctantly yielding to Andy's wishes, Prue and her sisters then cast the spell to accelerate time, banishing Tempus from Earth. Prue then untied Rodriguez, who sent an energy ball directly at her. Prue deviated it and it hit Rodriguez, destroying him permanently.

At his funeral, a deeply saddened Prue left a rose on Andy's coffin. After a few days, she told her sisters that she felt that Andy would always be with them.
