Biography

Andrew Williams was a soldier in the Falklands War who later entered politics. He was obsessed with his work, resulting in him having very limited contact with his daughter after her mother died. (PROSE: The Door We Forgot) He worked in the Home Office. He had a lengthy career in Whitehall. (PROSE: A Worthy Successor)

In 1995, Louise Bayliss was tranferred to work in the Home Office for Sir Andrew. (PROSE: The Last Dose) She was transferred by Brian Rutherford. (HOMEVID: The Devil of Winterborne) Louise was somewhat happy that Rutherford had made the transfer however, as it "made the goodbyes easier". (PROSE: The Last Dose)

In 2000, Patricia Haggard called Sir Andrew to ask for Louise Bayliss's help in overseeing the containment of the Cyberon drug at a PKD facility in London, which he evidently agreed to. When Louise went the PKD, Colonel Tudor objected to Louise's involvment, but when Louise passively threatened to call Sir Andrew, he became compliant. After the drug was secured, Louise returned to Ashley House, asking if it was possible to return to P.R.O.B.E. on a more permanent basis, but Patricia politely told her no due to their low budget not extending far enough to cover an additional member nor would Sir Andrew agree to such a transfer. (PROSE: The Last Dose)

Sir Andrew became interested in P.R.O.B.E. after "that business" on the Thames Estuary.

In 2014 he transferred from the Home Office and replaced Patricia Haggard as the PROBE liaison. Giles planned persuade Sir Andrew to use his influence to recruit new members to PROBE. (PROSE: A Worthy Successor) Wanting to know what P.R.O.B.E. "got up to", the newly-appointed Sir Andrew ordered Giles to begin recording "video Case Files" about the Bureau's activities that he could view. Giles recorded the first on 29 June, with advice from Liz. (HOMEVID: First Entry)

He got Tasha a job in Digitization. (AUDIO: 9 to 5)

Sir Andrew allowed Maxie to remain in the United Kingdom and join PROBE. (PROSE: She Came From Another World)

Around 7 November 2018 Sir Andrew was scouring Whitehall to replace Archie MacTavish who had died on a mission in Manchester. (WC: Manchester)

In 2019, about two months before the Beltane case, Tasha had another spat with her father, and asked Giles for advice on how to deal with it. However, he clammed up when she asked if he had any family of his own, and the conversation ended there. She resolved to visit her father at once to try and smooth things over. (AUDIO: Broken Bonds)
