Andy was a student who lived in Alassan Valley with his parents and younger brother. When the Second Invasion began one year after Liberation Day, his family was captured by the Visitors, prompting him into joining the Resistance. He joined the "Wildcats" group, led by Tony Baker, which operated out of Widows Canyon, killing Visitors and doing whatever it took to survive. All this changed when the Visitors told him that his brother, who was still alive unlike his parents, had contracted diphtheria, a deadly disease that was spreading throughout the valley. Andy was desperate enough to save his brother that he reluctantly agreed to spy on the local Resistance groups in exchange for medical treatment and freedom for his brother. His main form of communication was with a transmitter disguised as a walkman.

When LA Resistance members Julie Parrish, Kyle Bates, Elizabeth Maxwell and Visitor Willie came to the region to offer medical support, Andy told Lieutenant James who was in the region and the Visitors were provoked into action and sabotaged the mission to recover badly needed medicine. Andy also alerted James to Mike Donovan's imminent arrival with another supply of the medicine, but was then exposed by Julie Parrish when she discovered his transmitter. His fellow Resistance members turned on him and tied him to a chair and forced the truth from him and abandoned him to go on the mission to get the supplies from Donovan at a local airstrip. Andy realised what a horrible mistake he made and, after breaking free of his restraints, drove off to join the battle and reached the airstrip just as the Resistance team was about to be overwhelmed by an armed Visitor convoy. Andy then deliberately crashed his car into the convoy, destroying it completely and killing himself in the process. Tony, forgiving his fallen comrade, spoke for the group just after his heroic demise;

"He may have made a mistake, but man, when we really needed him he was there."

His actions saved thousands of lives from the plague.

    I thought it was a wonderfully conceptual act actually, to fire a replica pistol at a figurehead—the guy could have been working for Andy Warhol!
    —J.G. (James Graham)

    If you want to know all about Andy Warhol, just look at the surface: of my paintings and films and me, and there I am. There’s nothing behind it.
    Andy Warhol (c. 1928–1987)
