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) Some accounts also stated that Leela then became pregnant by him, (PROSE: Lungbarrow, Jealous, Possessive) while several others contradicted this. (AUDIO: Weapon of Choice, Insurgency, etc.) During the pregnancy, K9 Mark I told Mark II (who was still trapped in E-Space with Mistress Romana) that he thought Andred was unhappy due to this, and had been "going around disconsolately, muttering, and shaking his head". (PROSE: Jealous, Possessive)

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)
