Famous Spellcasters: Andrew Wells

Name: Andrew Wells
World: Earth/Buffy the Vampire Slayer Universe
Spells: Per Circumstance.
Magical Items: None.

"How could he do this to me? He promised we'd be together but he was just using me. He never really loved...hanging out with us."
-Andrew Wells, Super-Villian, DM, and Watcher. 

Andrew Wells was born in Sunnydale, CA and lived with his older brother and Aunt. Like his brother, Tucker, he was very intelligent and gifted. However, he lacked a certain charm, that made him awkward and a target for bulling. He has a soft and gentle heart, and spent many of his years growing up pouring over old grimoires and surrounded by his interest and fantasy and science fiction. Due to the fact that the Hellmouth allowed the supernatural to come forth, he and his brother developed a natural skill for demonic conjuration and summoning. His older brother Tucker was very skilled summoner and admired his brother greatly.

After his brother left, he was alone. He soon developed a closer friendship with Warren and Jonathan, fellow outcasts of Sunnydale Highschool. He fell sway under the charms of Warren and Jonathan and joined there group known as "The Trio". Together they harassed Buffy, the Slayer for perceived wrongs. Warren who tried to posses the Slayer by building a replicant was the only one who was really wronged. Jonathan was an occultist who knew some spellwork, whom Andrew felt a kinship with.... while Warren was like his brother in many ways that he admired. To Andrew this would be fun.

However, the Trio was thwarted time and time again. It wasn't till Warren up'd the ante in frustration by trying to unleash the First Evil and open the Hellmouth beneath Sunnydale like so many others. Warren would not be humiliated again, unbeknownst to Jonathan and Andrew, he had a gun to end the Slayer's life. As fate would have it, an innocent bystander, Tara was killed instead. This enraged Willow, who in her own right was a powerful witch, went complete Dark and was hellbent on revenge. Warren, Jonathan, and Andrew were her targets. Warren was killed, but Buffy and the others did their best to contain Willow and free her the blood rage. Andrew and Jonathan escaped to Mexico.

While in Mexico, the First Evil, manipulated Andrew and convinced him to finish what they started. It is truly unclear as to why, Andrew killed Jonathan and opened the Hellmouth enough. Buffy and crew managed to contain it as best as possible, but the damage was done. Over the next year Andrew was held hostage, but later "reformed" and became an ally to the Slayer. He was joined the order of the Watchers and helped trained new Slayers. Over the years his knowledge has increased making him a young expert on the subject of demons.

Andrew as a spellcaster is extremely knowledgeable. At a young age he mastered several ancient demonic language, and was skilled enough to summon forth and control demons. This was most likely due to his brother and his interest into fantasy and science fiction. Not only was he well versed in magic, but was a skilled in science... managing to bring back an extinct species of demons through his understanding DNA and Biology. Like wise he was well versed enough to follow and improve upon Warren's design of replicants.
Not only skilled with Sorcery and Science, he has a vast knowledge of science fiction and fantasy lore.
He plays Dungeons and Dragons, watches Doctor Who, knows Star Wars and Star Trek, Babylon 5, red Dwarf, the X-files, Marvel and DC Comics, Spy and Horror Movies, and a bit of Anime thrown in too!
He also is very caring and tenderhearted, a side which often clashes with his bravado.
