#### Early Life

Andrew was the first born son of Lord Alyn and Lysa Butterwell fouteen minutes before his twin brother who shared their father's name. House Butterwell was one of the less prominent noble families of the Riverlands rising under Andrew's grandfather Alton who had served as Maegor's Master of Coin. Anrew's father though lacked both skill and ambition, unlike young Andrew.

From a young age Andrew showed far greater promise than either his father or grandfather before him had. Both he and his brother were excellent studies, but in different fields, as Andrew took to numbers like they were nothing while Alyn was more of a general education. When they were five their mother gave birth to their sister Alys.

A close mentor to Andrew during his early years was his uncle Edmure Butterwell, Castellan of Whitewalls. His uncle taught him much of what he knew of the land and how to run a lordship.

### Teen Years and Training

When they were twelve Andrew and Alyn parted ways, Alyn of to Oldtown to become a Maester while Andrew remained to train as heir. It was also during this time that he met the young Jeyne Tully, then only seven, while on a trip to Riverun. This would be the first of many encounters between the two over the years. However his main focus during those years was on his training.

His main trainer in combat was his other uncle Marc Butterwell, Master-at-Arms for Whitewalls. Andrew proves to be a skilled jouster and warrior besting several households knights by six and ten. At eighteen he was knighted right as the Rosegold Rebellion begain.

Because of House Tully's inability to lead personally and Butterwell immediate liege House Strong in King's Landing Butterwell was left leaderless. Andrew remained in Whitewalls with most of his family while Marc left to join the war. Because of the Westermens desire to attack the capital Whitewalls was largely ignored accept for the odd raiding party gathering supplies or just looting. Andrew and his cousin Alton would led small groups out to defend the lands around them but for the most part just held the castle. His uncle Marc would not return after the war, his body was never found though he was presumed dead at Tumbler's Fall.

### Adulthood, Lordship, and Reunion

Andrew's father would live for another two years before falling deadly ill. He refused to allow the current Maester, some new one after the previous one died earlier that year, and insisted that he would only allow his son who had recently won his chain to treat him. The Citadel agreed and sent Maester Alyn to take p the post at Whitewalls. While he was able to alleviate their father's pain Lord Alyn died and Andrew took his place as lord. His first act was to confirm his brother as the Maester of the castle.

Three years went by without incident as Andrew eased himself into Lordship over Whitewalls. He would continue to make trips around the Riverlands privately, looking over the lands. At three and twenty he saw Jeyne Tully again, now fully grown and desiring to make a name for herself. Andrew invited his friend to Whitewalls, offering her a place at the castle. The two returned to Whitewalls and were quiet the rest of the year.
