Andrew "Andy" Gallagher (b. June 30, 1983- May 2, 2007) was the son of Holly Beckett, the twin brother of Ansem Weems, the adoptive son of the Gallagher family and one of Azazel's Special Children.
He had the ability to mind control others and after eventually training them, he gained the ability of mental projection.
Early life[]
Andy's date of birth on his driver's license.
Andy was born to Holly and an unnamed man on June 30, 1983 in Oklahoma along with his twin, Ansem though the two were soon put up for adoption with Andy being adopted by the Gallagher family. Six months after his birth on December 30, his adoptive mother was murdered by Azazel above his crib.
At the age of twenty, he obtained his driver's license in Oklahoma on the 19th of April, 2004.
Season 2[]
In Simon Said, Sam Winchester had a vision but saw this as a chance to help someone like him after the death of Max Miller upon getting information from Ash who had tracked down Andy's location by using the only link he and Sam shared, their mothers dying the same way when they were only six months old. Upon encountering Dean Winchester, Andy then used his powers to both get the Impala and answers on why he was being stalked by the brothers with Dean having no other option to obey.
Andy used his powers on Dean upon seeing the latter follow him.
Under the belief that Andy was the one behind the recent deaths, Sam and Dean would then go on to try and stop him although they failed to find any evidence that he was the culprit. Sam and Dean later discovered Andy was an innocent man when Holly died with Andy being with Sam during the forced suicide. Needing answers, the three worked together that the woman who had burned was Andy's birth mother and that he had a twin brother names Ansem.
Andy was then tracked down by Ansem who admitted that he was the one behind all the deaths claiming that they were done due to them being split for so long with Tracey being his next victim. As Ansem had forced Tracey to attack the three, Andy used his powers to stop her. Seeing he had no choice, Andy then killed his brother before Ansem could force Dean to shoot himself.
In the aftermath he then made the police believe they had witnessed Ansem's death and that it was suicide by gunshot though he came to feel guilty as Tracey had discovered what he could do with him deducing she was now scared of him as he had never used his powers on her prior to the night before.
He would then go on to train his powers until he could mentally project thoughts into the minds of anyone he chose with one of his victims being a guy he came to dislike, Andy would use his powers to make him see gay porn for as long as he wanted.
Seeing no other way, Andy shot and killed Ansem.
Andy was discovered by Sam in Cold Oak, South Dakota.
In All Hell Breaks Loose - Part 1, Andy was sent to Cold Oak, South Dakota by Azazel with Sam, Jake Talley, Ava Wilson and Lily Baker. There, he reunited with Sam and tried to communicate with Dean. While waiting to be saved, he and Sam would find Ava, Jake and Lily who were just as confused as they were. Once told where he was and what sent him there, Andy did not appear as sceptical as Ava, Jake or Lily who did not want to believe demons were involved but still struggled to understand what Sam had said to him.
Despite the tension caused by Jake, he would attempt to calm the others by admitting about the time he made someone he hated see homosexual porn much to Lily's anger who explained his powers were not as bad as hers as she was capable of sending anyone she touched into cardiac arrest. He then came across an Acheri with Ava and Lily where they witnessed it attack Jake though it was temporarily sent away by Sam. Now believing Sam's story that a demon was behind their capture, Andy assisted in helping the others, save for Lily who had left to escape on her own, in looking for salt at the bar in which he was successful, he helped in applying it to the doorways and window sills.
Andy, to his delight, found the salt needed to keep the Acheri at bay.
Learning of Lily's absence, he and the others went back outside only to soon come across Lily's body which was hanging from the windmill. That night, he, Jake and Sam sought to find the then missing Ava only to find the latter at the bar they had been at earlier, he would then watch as she created a gap in the line of salt so that she could summon the Acheri leading to Andy's discovery that she had been the one behind Lily's murder.
Andy is killed by Ava's Acheri.
Ava, wanting to be the sole survivor of the fight between her and the others, used the Acheri to kill Andy with Sam finding his body when entering the bar while still looking for Ava.
