Biography
Soulcalibur II
Andrew was just a Middle School student at Cañon City Middle School when being called by his friend Jessie Parnell to fight. He found himself meeting a Man with a Nunchaku that seemed valuable. He came up with the idea to steal Soryuju and proceeded to do so. Unfortunately, Andrew lost consciousness for 2 hours after being defeated by Maxi.
When he awoke, he found out that he had lost the memory of his family, though he still had the memory of his friends. Although many tests were run on him, he had no luck of getting his memory back.
The Doctor who was appointed by Jessie's father, Scott, was called in to have Andrew in a prescribed cat-scan for 4 hours. Nothing... Now, a shard of a mysterious metal was in his body.
"What's this energy I feel?" Confused, Andrew set out to find out what it was....
Soulcalibur III
After defeating Maxi, alongside Jessie, Andrew's memory of his family failed to return... "What the hell happened for this to fail?" Unfortunately, Andrew still had amnesia about his family. But his limbs were hurting every step he took. He lost breath, lost consciousness for about 30 minutes.
"Why do you fight, Andrew..... To protect your family....for your sanity....To regain your memory....or is it to kill an innocent soul?" Andrew awoke from the nightmare in a hospital bed.
"There's that voice again! Who the hell is calling me?"
He rembered a familiar face, but...
Jessie went to check on Andrew, but she found that he left....again...
Soulcalibur IV
Finally confronting Maxi for the second time since being knocked unconscious by him, Andrew helped Jessie defeat him.
But, still unhappy, he went to visit Sophitia and Rothion, to get advice about aftermaths of memory loss.
"Andrew, if you are unable to remember your family, search for Soul Edge. The sword will help your memories of Family return..." Sophitia's words buzzed around in Andrew's head.
He headed out at dusk one night. Going back in the year, 1591, Andrew managed to take shelter for the night. While asleep, he awoke to find Tira approaching him.
"If you desire memory return, then you must obtain Soul Edge from your enemy."
"Come on, Not even Maxi could defeat me..."
"Perhaps the golem will partner with you so you both can destroy him."
"Okay...I'll pursue Soul Edge...to defeat Maxi, and get my memory back..."
Andrew would get back what was his, and claim this victory for his friends.
