Anduriel has but a few major goals since stumbling on the holocrons of the Jedi of old, and one of them is to be the best warrior and fighter the world has ever seen. He continues to push himself everyday, learning how to fight better and how to win a battle, by any means necessary. To that end, Andy’s slowly developed a philosophy that the ends will always justify the means. This often puts him at odds with his conflicting loyalties, and even with others who disagree with his often ruthless or cunning ideas. Through these conflicts, Anduriel remains steadfast. He is driven to be excellent in whatever he wants to be, and he’s willing to pay the price to get there.

Growing up an orphan on the streets of the sprawling city of Worlport, Anduriel was exposed to many things. The Mantellian saw the pain of living on the streets, the death that comes alongside it, and the darker side of the city, as well as the lush streets and money being thrown away by people much richer than him. As such, Anduriel has a lot of experiences from which he can draw upon when faced with a particular situation. Whether it be slicing a terminal, crashing a speeder, or picking a pocket, Andy’s been there and seen it all. However, being a jack of many trades made him a master of few. Except for honing his combat skills religiously, Anduriel never became particularly skilled at anything else since he never had time to devote to one particular skill when the city had so much more to throw at him. This lack of specialized skill has often times let him down, and over time he has tried to humbly accept that he has a long way to go. Still, the familiarity with many situations may give him an edge in a situation where his opponent is more inexperienced.

When faced with such pain and suffering, many people tend to be cold, heartless, and silent. Anduriel however chose a different path; one of the spirited smartass. Whether it be an equal, an aristocrat, or a godlike general, Anduriel will insult and spit in the eye of each and every one of them because he refuses to give up. Sometimes it may be that the insult amuses him, other times he simply wishes to get a rise out of someone else. He has even spoken in a smartass manner reflexively in conversations, not realizing what he’d just done until after his mouth had finished moving. This can often irritate his conversation partner, sometimes to the point of aggression and violence. More often than not Andy has gotten in plenty of trouble for this kind of behavior, and he has earned his fair share of bruises, cuts, and broken bones for his insolence. He has even made a few enemies in the process, and lost a few friends. However, this has given him an indomitable spirit, and he’s not going to change because someone didn’t find it funny.

Anduriel has felt the pain of loss, and knows there are fates far more painful than death itself. He has seen suffering of those he cares for, and because he blames himself in some way he continues to look to better himself so that he does not repeat his mistake once again. The Mantellian is often tempted by sources of power and skill, be it a crystal, a relic, or a teacher. He sees them as a chance to improve himself, and prevent in the future what happened in the past. This often puts him at odds with himself, creating a conflict between the ruthless warlord he could become and the loyalties to those he cares for. His willingness to obtain greater power has caused much grief for some of the people he cares about, sometimes even corrupting him in the process. He has lost friends, and those he has not lost worry for him and the monster that he may someday become. However this quest for greater power and skill, and the temptation and guilt that continue to plague him, drive him to be a stronger person every day; anything to protect those he loves.

Anduriel has seen the dark side of battle, and to that end he is willing to do absolutely anything for victory. There is no place below the belt he won't hit, no tactic too base, not strategy he considers below him. While he is not necessarily averse to straightforward tactics, he will use methods like gouging, scratching, biting, feigning surrender, attacking from hiding and any other tactic if it can offer him advantage. While his more honorable companions and his Mandalorian ways may disapprove of this “dirty fighting”, Andy refuses to believe that there is honor to be found in bloodshed. Killing is an art to him, but it is not an honorable one, and he embraces all methods of combat. To him there are only two sides of a battle, there are those who are dead, and those who live to tell the tale.

Anduriel is a resourceful and inventive combatant. When fighting, he continuously keeps in mind his surroundings, abilities and opponents, seeking every strategy he can to obtain victory. This quite often allows him a sudden and unexpected upset against opponents who are otherwise too strong for him. While this makes him a very powerful opponent when he becomes focused in combat, Andy often loses his emotional connection to the fight, enjoying the bloodshed and challenge of battle but no longer caring about why he was fighting his opponent in the first place. He may be able to remain on top of a fight this way, but this has sometimes caused him to accidentally kill or cause more harm to an opponent than originally intended.
