=== Early life ===
Andredaselus ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[Insurgency (audio story)|Insurgency]]'') came from the [[Gallifreyan]] [[Great House]] known either as the [[House of Redlooms]] ([[PROSE]]: ''[[The Taking of Planet 5]]'') or the [[House of Deeptree]] ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[Lies (audio story)|Lies]]'').
Andredocelus ([[AUDIO]]: {{cs|Insurgency (audio story)}}) came from a long line of [[military]] ordinals. ([[PROSE]]: {{cs|Lungbarrow (novel)}}) He belonged to the [[Arcalian Chapter]], ([[AUDIO]]: {{cs|Insurgency (audio story)}}) his family being the [[House of Deeptree]] ([[AUDIO]]: {{cs|Lies (audio story)}}) or the [[House of Redlooms]]. ([[PROSE]]: {{cs|Lungbarrow (novel)}})


=== During the Vardan invasion ===
Staring into the [[Untempered Schism]] at the age of eight, Andred was inspired by what he saw. ([[PROSE]]: {{cs|A Brief History of Time Lords (novel)}}) He attended the [[military academy]] ([[PROSE]]: {{cs|Doctor Who and the Invasion of Time (novelisation)}}) and became [[Commander]] of the [[Chancellery Guard]]. ([[TV]]: {{cs|The Invasion of Time (TV story)}})
Andred was a member of the [[Chancellery Guard]]. He organised the Time Lords opposed to [[Fourth Doctor|the Doctor]]'s [[Lord President|presidency]] after he had helped the [[Vardan]]s invade. He attempted to kill him as a traitor, but later aided him once his true intentions became apparent. [[Leela]] fell in love with Andred. She stayed on [[Gallifrey]] with him, accompanied by [[K9 Mark I]]. ([[TV]]: ''[[The Invasion of Time (TV story)|The Invasion of Time]]'')


=== Later events ===
=== Incarnations of Andred ===
Most accounts agree that Andred was eventually made [[Castellan]]. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Lungbarrow (novel)|Lungbarrow]]'', [[AUDIO]]: ''[[Pandora (audio story)|Pandora]]'')
[[Andred (The Invasion of Time)|Andred]] was a Commander of the [[Chancellery Guard]]. He organised the Time Lords opposed to the [[Fourth Doctor]]'s [[Lord President|presidency]] after he had helped the [[Vardan]]s invade. [[Leela]] fell in love with Andred and stayed on [[Gallifrey]] with him, accompanied by [[K9 Mark I]]. ([[TV]]: {{cs|The Invasion of Time (TV story)}}, et al.)


At some point, he and Leela got married. ([[TV]]: ''[[Arc of Infinity (TV story)|Arc of Infinity]]'') One such account also states Leela then became pregnant to him. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Lungbarrow (novel)|Lungbarrow]]'') Several other accounts contradict this, however. ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[Gallifrey (audio series)|Gallifrey]]'')  
In a confrontation with [[Torvald]], he and Andred shot each other. Torvald was killed outright while Andred was forced to regenerate. Sensing an opportunity, [[Andred (Weapon of Choice)|the new incarnation of Andred]] changed clothes with the unrecognisable corpse of Torvald and claimed his identity when found by guards. Under his new identity, Andred, continued to act as [[Narvin]]'s loyal henchman in the hopes of uncovering any plot, sometimes working with Presidential bodyguard Leela. ([[AUDIO]]: {{cs|A Blind Eye (audio story)}}, et al.)


After spending many years with Leela, Andred became suspicious of certain activities by the [[Celestial Intervention Agency]], and in particular suspected Coordinator [[Narvin]] of violent anti-alien tendencies, in contradiction to [[Romana II|President Romana]]'s new policies. He made attempted overtures towards Narvin, claiming that his wife Leela had shown him the incompatibility of off-worlders living on Gallifrey. Narvin easily saw through Andred's ruse, and when Andred invited Narvin to meet him in the Citadel catacombs, he guessed that Andred might try to [[assassinate]] him. He sent his most trusted agent, [[Torvald|Commander Torvald]], in his place. In the confrontation, Andred and Torvald shot each other. Torvald was killed outright while Andred was forced to regenerate. Sensing an opportunity, Andred changed clothes with the unrecognisable corpse of Torvald and claimed his identity when found by guards. Believing Andred killed, Narvin covered up the incident and denied all knowledge of why Andred had suddenly disappeared, before eventually telling Leela that he had been killed by Torvald. Andred, meanwhile, continued to act as Narvin's loyal henchman in the hopes of uncovering any plot, sometimes working with Presidential bodyguard Leela. He finally revealed the truth to Leela, Narvin and Romana when they went back in time and confronted the real Torvald on one of his missions at a point before his death. ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[Weapon of Choice (audio story)|Weapon of Choice]]'', [[AUDIO]]: ''[[Square One (audio story)|Square One]]'', ''[[The Inquiry (audio story)|The Inquiry]]'', [[AUDIO]]: ''[[A Blind Eye (audio story)|A Blind Eye]]'')
=== Legacy ===
By the [[Last Great Time War]], Commander Andred was recognised for ''[[Orcini and the Battle of Vavetron]]'', which the ''[[Dalek Combat Training Manual]]'' acknowledged as an "excellent [[treatise]]" avaliable in the [[Panopticon Library]]. This text was recommended for recruits seeking more information on the battle tactics of the [[Grand Order of Oberon]]. ([[PROSE]]: {{cs|Dalek Combat Training Manual (reference book)}})


Andred was arrested and imprisoned for his deception, and earned the hatred of Leela for letting her believe he was dead. In his cell, he was visited by [[Inquisitor]] [[Darkel]] who conspired with him. She allowed him to escape, and after Andred visited the Archivist to collect evidence, Darkel had the Archivist murdered and Narvin framed Andred for the crime, forcing Andred to go on the run for some time, hunted by Leela. While in hiding, Andred caught one of the off-world students, [[Gillestes]], about to introduce a [[Free Time]] virus to the water supply of the citadel. He handed her over to [[Wynter]], Andred's successor as Castellan following his original disappearance, in return for a pardon. After Wynter was attacked by the [[Pandora]] creature and mistakenly drank the quarantined Free Time virus, [[Irving Braxiatel|Lord Chancellor Braxiatel]] appointed Leela as his interim replacement. After Brax's exile, Darkel returned Andred to the post of Castellan. Not long afterwards, Taylor, a student from Earth, tried to locate the [[Key of Rassilon]]. While trying to prevent him, Andred was stabbed through both hearts by Romana, acting under the influence of Pandora. Leela once again grieved for her husband, who was buried outside of the city walls, and began to wish she could join him in death.

Behind the scenes[[edit] | [edit source]]

At the end of Lungbarrow, the Seventh Doctor learns that Leela is carrying Andred's child. Noting that half-human, half-Gallifreyan is an "unusual pedigree", the Doctor tells her to "just call him after me". The implication is that the child will eventually travel back in time and become the Other, who ultimately dissolves himself in the Loom network to be reborn as the Doctor. Marc Platt later confirmed this: "I don't know whether anybody picked up on that little hint that this is actually a time loop! ... Yup! I'm very naughty! Leela and Andred are ... Oh, dear! Perhaps I shouldn't have mentioned it? The implications are far too horrific to contemplate!" (DWM 305)
