Andy Collins

Andy Collins, or Andrew Collins, is a maester that is currently employed by the Laign Adventurers Guild.

Early Life
Andrew Collins was born in the year 682 A.G. to a elven mother, and a human father residing in the town of Tourqe, Westle within the Dutchy of West Ire.

His father was an ungrateful and angry man who belonged to the lower class. He often abused his family, and frequently declared he intentionally spent all of his earnings on booze so that there would be no inheritance for his "despicable offspring".

Determined to never be a terrible father, Andy went to the Leinster Citadel to become a maester, a role that requires you to take an oath to hold no lands and to father no children.

He passed his tests very quickly and was considered a full fledged maester at the age of 30.

Career
Maester Collins served at the citadel teaching and serving as an on-call doctor for many years, and additionally was assigned to serve various courts in this time.

When he turned 85, he was assigned to serve Duke Aubrey as his Grand Maester.

He became close friends with the Duke, and served him faithfully for 10 years, treating his wounded and serving as his adviser in all things science on the Duke's council. However as the ten years came to an end, Andy decided it was time to catch up with new modern styles of medicine.

He left Aubrey's host to return to the Citadel to learn new methods of treating injury and disease. Five years back into his studies, and teachings, Maester Collins was ready to take a new assignment, and was assigned to the newly formed Laign Adventurers Guild.
