Andreas is a minor character featured in Red Dead Redemption 2.
History[]
Background[]
Andreas is a German immigrant who came to America with his family. He and his family are in the gold mining business, and they speak fairly limited English.
Events of Red Dead Redemption 2[]
Andreas and his family's camp was attacked by outlaws, during which Andreas was kidnapped by some outlaws for ransom. He was later saved by Arthur and Charles, and brought back to his family by the former. Andreas thanks Arthur for saving him and gives Arthur a gold bar as a token of appreciation. Arthur is appreciative of it, and tells Andreas to leave the area as it’s not safe.
Later in the story, Arthur takes mortally wounded Eagle Flies to the Wapiti Reservation, where he dies. After leaving, Arthur has a paroxysm and passes out, seeing the family he had once helped standing over him. While waking up in Annesburg, Arthur sees the figures of Andreas and his wife and hears their voices. She tries to give Arthur a drink, but he insists that he needs to go.

Trivia[]
- The PED models of Andreas and his family are reused in several pictures featured in the Grand Theft Auto Online update The Cayo Perico Heist that can be found in Juan "El Rubio" Strickler's compound, depicting his ancestors.
- This served as a subtle tie-in to the release of Red Dead Online's Naturalist Role, as "El Rubio" is seen wearing a Legendary Beaver Flop Hat and other clothing options introduced with the update as hinted in one of his portraits.
- Andreas' son wears a traditional Bavarian hat (an "Aschauer Hut"), indicating that the family stems from that region of Germany. However they speak standard German, i.e. German without any discernible accent that points at a specific region from which they hail.
