Blades For Blackbird/Characters/Sample Character

Background

Andries Pietersen has been taking things apart to figure out how they work since he was a small boy. As he got older, he sometimes even managed to put them back together again. While his first love has always been mechanics, he is perfectly happy to apply his dissective skills in other fields, like literature, cryptography, and (on a few memorable occasions) anatomy.
