Andre

Andre is a young Bree-family Traveller who leads a team during the military academy's dangerous outing. He combines control of a beast companion with direct spear fighting, but repeatedly chooses the students' safety over pursuing mysteries he cannot yet explain. (Chapters 259–272)

Biography

Intervening in the abandoned city

Andre introduces himself as the Traveller leader and responds when the students appear to be under attack. His lion-like beast Cookie and his teammates engage the bloodsucker, and Andre wounds it with his spear while Cookie holds it in place. When the masked Quinn attacks to protect the creature, Andre tries to negotiate rather than retaliate blindly. He ultimately declines to chase the pair and instead checks his injured teammates and the stranded students. (Chapters 259–263)

Andre questions the students about the dead king-tier beast, the bloodsucker, and the masked man, but their account remains incomplete. When Logan deliberately collapses a tunnel to divide the groups, Andre recognises the intent and refuses to force a pursuit, judging that returning frightened students to base is more important. He remains suspicious of Logan's explanation but lets it pass, then salutes the shelter's senior officers before leaving after a tense exchange with Leo. (Chapters 263–272)

The name “Andre” in Chapter 1216 occurs in a scene explicitly concerning Alex and Andrew and describes Andrew's wings; it is not evidence for this Traveller's later transformation or presence. (Chapter 1216)

Appearance and personality

Andre is described as a young man but receives no stable details for hair, eyes, or clothing. He is cautious, perceptive, respectful of rank, and willing to de-escalate when he cannot identify an opponent's motives. His first response to danger is protective, yet he can fight directly beside his beast when negotiation fails. (Chapters 259–272)

Powers and abilities

Bree-family beast taming

Andre can tame and control beasts, with the number and tier depending on the user's level of control. His demonstrated companion, Cookie, is a lion-like beast with flaming tails that can physically contest a bloodsucker. Bree tamers must generally prove themselves stronger than high-level beasts before controlling them, and Andre fights alongside Cookie rather than relying on it from safety. The corpus does not specify Andre's maximum number of beasts or Cookie's exact tier. (Chapter 260)

Spear combat

Andre carries a high-level spear and coordinates his attack with Cookie and Andy. He uses Andy's raised shield as a platform, times his thrust while Cookie holds the target, and pierces the bloodsucker between the ribs. A sufficiently fast ranged strike can force him off the attack, and the corpus shows no later weapon progression or named technique. (Chapters 260–261)

Relationships

• Cookie: Andre's tamed lion-like beast fights at his side and restrains a bloodsucker long enough for his spear strike. (Chapter 260)
• Andy: Andy is Andre's shield-bearing teammate; they protect one another and jointly decide to stop the pursuit and tend to their group. (Chapters 260–262)
• Quinn: Andre knows Quinn only as the masked fighter who interrupts the attack on the bloodsucker. Andre attempts to negotiate and does not uncover his identity. (Chapters 261–263)
