## History

He grew up in the coastal town of Felipina to Maria and Pablo Cortez. They raised him from birth to learn the ways of his father's position and he was able to become the Count at the tender age of 25. His parents had passed on after being inflicted with an infectious disease while he was away visiting in Sorian for courting season. He had to then leave early that summer and go back home to take care of things. Due to this event, Andrew Cortez never had the time to marry.

Andrew had adored his parents and fondly recalls them today. However, despite his sadness, he had bounced back faster than boomerang. He threw himself into his work at as a Count. Andrew knew exactly what to do and how to do it. Count Cortez is well-beloved in the city of Felipina. Despite being a rather soft-spoken fellow, he's an incredibly talented, loving to sing, dance and play the guitar. He is also known to love horse riding and a good meal.

## Personality

Andrew had been a reserved man in his youth, preferring to keep to himself and avoid the spotlight. Despite his reserved demeanor, Andrew had always been a fairly happy person and is often seen smiling and laughing. He is not one to dwell on negative thoughts or emotions, and takes a pragmatic approach to life. People have described him as pleasant and easy to talk to. He often can be very kind and compassionate.

He is a bit of an opportunist in the sense that he is mysterious about his views to other nobles and perhaps secretly more competitive than he lets on. When there is conflict, Andrew will not intervene unless it is an argument dear to his heart. This all can sometimes make him appear insincere or untrustworthy to those who know him well. Though passionate about music, art and food, he changes his demeanor in a political setting.

Over the years as a count, Andrew Cortez has become an esteemed socialite who loves to keep the culture of Felipina alive and to protect the people of Soralia. His motives politically, however, remain rather mysterious.
