=== Early life ===
Andredaselus ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[Insurgency (audio story)|Insurgency]]'') came from the [[Gallifreyan]] [[Great House]] known either as the [[House of Redlooms]] ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Lungbarrow (novel)|Lungbarrow]]'') or the [[House of Deeptree]]. ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[Lies (audio story)|Lies]]'')
Like all [[Time Lord]]s, Andred was taken from his family at the age of eight for the selection process in the [[Drylands]]. Starring into the [[Untempered Schism]] as part of a Time Lord initiation rite, Andred was inspired by what he saw in the Schism.

=== Going undercover ===
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 [[Assassination|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. ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[A Blind Eye (audio story)|A Blind Eye]]'')
He was sent to the third moon of [[Kikrit]] to investigate a potential source of weapons-grade [[chronon]]s before they were stolen by [[Nepenthe]]. He was sent by Narvin with Leela to [[Gryben]] to find Nepenthe and the [[Timonic Fusion Device]]. On Gryben, he met with [[Mephistopheles Arkadian]], who knew of Torvald. This blew their cover. Shortly afterwards he went to the human enclave and begged [[Nepenthe]] for his life. ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[Weapon of Choice (audio story)|Weapon of Choice]]'')
He was tasked in retrieving the Timonic Fusion device from Gryben whilst Leela was observing. After returning to Gallifrey, he was then told to arrest [[Irving Braxiatel|Braxiatel]] for his illegal interference in time. ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[The Inquiry (audio story)|The Inquiry]]'')
=== Exposure and aftermath ===
Andred went with Narvin to investigate a temporal anomaly in [[1939]]. When Narvin asked him to escort Romana to her presidential TARDIS, he shot him to try and keep his secret. 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]]: ''[[A Blind Eye (audio story)|A Blind Eye]]'')
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. ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[Lies (audio story)|Lies]]'') 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, Lord Chancellor Braxiatel appointed Leela as his interim replacement. ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[Pandora (audio story)|Pandora]]'')
After Braxiatel's exile, Darkel returned Andred to the post of Castellan. He spent his time capturing students at the Academy, accusing them of being terrorists. He warned [[Taylor Addison]] that he needed to choose his battles well and helped [[Neeloc]] after he was attacked by his fellow Time Lords. He explained to Leela that he was trying to become the man she once loved again. ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[Insurgency (audio story)|Insurgency]]'')
=== Death ===
Not long afterwards, Taylor 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 that she could join him in death. ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[Insurgency (audio story)|Insurgency]]'')
== Alternative timelines ==
In [[Gallifrey (Reborn)|an alternative timeline]] in which it was standard policy for the Time Lords to sell their temporal technology to the highest bidder and [[regeneration]]s could be extracted and sold, Andred married [[Romana I#Alternative timeline|Romana]], who never travelled with the Doctor, and they had a son named [[Antonin]]. After his death, his widow resided in her ancestral home, the [[House of Heartshaven]]. ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[Reborn (audio story)|Reborn]]'')
In [[Gallifrey (Disassembled)|another alternative timeline]] in which the Time Lords regularly altered history through the Temporal Intervention Agency, Andred served as the commander of the Chancellery Guard under [[Romana II#Alternative timelines|Lady President Romana]]. ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[Disassembled (audio story)|Disassembled]]'')
In [[Gallifrey (Forever)|another alternative timeline]], he fought against the Daleks and evacuated the capitol but was exterminated in the process. ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[Extermination (audio story)|Extermination]]'')
In a [[parallel universe]] where the [[Sixth Doctor]] led Gallifrey in [[War in Heaven|the War]], Andred was Castellan Captain of the ''[[Glorious Aspect of Omega]]'' and the ''[[Sacred Might of Gallifrey]]''. Empowered by newfound temporal manipulation abilities, [[the enemy]] was able to destroy the ships. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[The Quantum Archangel (novel)|The Quantum Archangel]]'')

Andredaselus (Andred for short) was a Time Lord of Gallifrey and the husband of Leela.

Biography

During the Vardan invasion

Andred was a Commander of the Chancellery Guard. He organised the Time Lords opposed to the Fourth Doctor's presidency after he had helped the Vardans 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 and stayed on Gallifrey with him, accompanied by K9 Mark I. (TV: The Invasion of Time)

Life with Leela

Most accounts agreed that Andred was eventually made Castellan. (PROSE: Lungbarrow, AUDIO: Pandora)

At some point, he and Leela got married. (TV: Arc of Infinity) One account also stated that Leela then became pregnant by him, (PROSE: Lungbarrow) while several others contradicted this. (AUDIO: Weapon of Choice, Insurgency, etc.)

Following an incident in the Death Zone, Andred led a clean up with K9 Mark I in order to dispose of what creatures remained there. (AUDIO: Time in Office)

Andred taught Leela how to operate a staser. (AUDIO: Extermination)

Behind the scenes

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)
