André Snow

Andre Snow was born to Robert Rogers and Grace Jefferson. Andre was named after Grace’s uncle, General John Andre. Andre was aware that Rogers was his father and desired to one day be reconciled with him. Grace was always Robert’s true love and they made love the night before he left to join the military.

## Physical Appearance

Andre bears some facial likeness with his father Robert, but has a more gaunt, chiseled look. He's tall, thin, and has pale skin and stringy, black hair. He wore a green, military uniform from Albion with a red sash across his chest. He also had a green hat with two feathers stuck in it, similar to Robert Rogers' original hat.

## Personality

Like Rogers, Andre had a penchant for power and luxury. Andre tended to find ways to steal things behind peoples backs, especially silverware. His dream goal in life was to become the king of Albion so that he could restore order to his home country. He would also use his charisma and influence to make deals with various people to get what he wants.

Andre also had faith in his loved ones despite accusations against them. When confronted with the truth that his father abandoned him, Andre believed that he still cared for his son. Though an illegitimate child, thus being the victim of harassment and skepticism, he was not bitter toward either of his parents.

## Biography

Andre was conceived during Rogers’ brief journey home one year after the Sharpeye Crew and Ulskin Crew defeated the Wicked Three. To see what remained, there, he met up with his childhood fling Grace and they spent a night together, which ultimately resulted in Andre’s conception.

Andre grew up in a farming family; the Jefferson’s gave Andre the surname Snow as he was born during the winter, which was the requisite surname for illegitimate children born during the winter. Grace did suffer some humiliation for being born a bastard although most the village folk simply took it as is and still accepted her and Andre. However, Andre would constantly and much to his annoyance be reminded by everyone that he is a "bastard”. The Jefferson family grew wheat and lived in the same village as the Rogers. Andre learned to make and enjoy tea as well as to hunt game and bake his favorite food, standing crust meat pies. Andre was taught by his family to read and write and worship Almighty. However, Andre always had a weakness for trouble, he would constantly break the rules, steal some money when he could, and also have some flings with village girls. On the other hand, he always held a deep sense of justice and respect for good and always obeyed orders for a cause he believed in (although the latter was rare). When Andre was 17, he broke into an abandoned house and stole what is his main weapon, a fancy tomahawk with the initials on it saying *L. J. Wargrave*, (Lawrence John Wargrave). Wargrave was known as a hanging judge, sentencing people to death for the even most minor of crimes and mysteriously disappeared 10 years prior to Andre’s breaking and entering into his home. Wargrave values order and justice, while balancing this with an insatiable desire to kill, he loves to kill people.

Because of constant bullying by village kids about being a bastard, Andre gained a desire to have respect above all others and therefore gained a deep vocation of ambition and power. During the time period between 18 and 23, Andre travelled Albion in search of Wargrave, in an attempt to locate the Judge after finding in his home, drawings of a device called the Archimedes, of which Wargrave noted, would change the world. Andre picked up skills such as hunting, fighting, bartering, professional thieving, and tracking. Although Andre failed to find Wargrave, he did find evidence that pointed to Wargrave being alive, namely that well-known criminals and only criminals were being murdered in the same way, stab to the heart, Wargrave would tell each criminal he sentenced to death, “you have no heart”.

When Andre was 23 he gave up his search for Wargrave and he joined the Albion army in an attempt to gain status and power and so was stationed in the west where there was an attempt at an independence some years ago, which resulted in Civil war (of which Rogers was a veteran). After the destruction of Albion’s capitol by unknown forces, Albion descended into chaos, which eventually, resulted in a three-way civil war for the throne between the three major dukes of the realm. Andre fought for Archduke Henry Bolingbroke in the war and was promoted by him to command of an entire company of light infantry. In the War of the three Dukes, Andre gained an adeptness and affinity for tonfa sword as well, one of which was given to him by Duke Henry himself. Andre fought mostly in skirmishes and cutting off enemy supply lines. At the last battle of the war, the battle of Gratenburg, Andre distinguished himself by killing Archduke Richard II of Bordeaux and Archduke Henry Percy. The war was over after 4 long years, but Albion was even further devastated, 5% of its population was killed in this war, 20,000 men slain in battle at Gratenburg alone. Albion changed much after that, northern threats became more grave, Albion’s monarchy became much more powerful with the monarchy now having hereditary succession instead of elective. At age 28, Andre left the army and was looking for his father Robert Rogers when he came across a mysterious group of individuals.

### The Remnant Crew

Andre came across the individuals who would make up the Remnant crew: Lancelot Sharpeye, Laucian Liadon, Akentris Creed, and Torinn Tau'an'tu. They traveled together on the ship called the Cursed Maiden that was headed toward the Orcish branch of the Trade Federation islands.

When they arrived in the arena, the group was shocked and scared to find that they were pitted against a bloodthirsty Death Knight. They managed to pry open the gates of the arena in a hurry and run from the knight across town. The knight called out to Andre, accusing him of a loved one's death. He also claimed that Andre's father "had no heart." This piqued Andre's interest in the knight's identity. He asked if his axe from Wargrave was his, but the knight told Andre he "didn't care for that man's axe," seemingly denying he was Wargrave.

As the group continued to run, they came across a royal, heavily armored wood-elf: Erdan Galanodel, the lord of primality himself. He tried to fend off the death knight as the Remnant ran, but he unfortunately met his end at the end of a blade to his neck.

Andre and the rest of the Remnant procured a ship when they reached the dock before the death knight could catch up to them. Lance took charge as captain of the ship and sailed off from the destruction and terror behind them. But then, they had other problems to deal with: the Blightwing Gale. The Blightwing god's personal carrier, called the *Lucile,* was just up above them. Andre was given a knife by Torinn called *Keening,* which was once property of Malaroy Vastile.

## Trivia

* Albion's 'bastard naming' conventions are derived from *Game of Thrones*. 'Snow' was more directly taken from the character Jon Snow.
