History
Enchanter Nickolaus managed to steal several secret, coded diaries from the vault at the Hossberg Circle. He gave them to Andryanna for her to translate. Unfortunately, the theft was quickly discovered and the Mage Hunter, Ser Gwyn, was recalled to the Circle to investigate. He discovered that Nickolaus and Andryanna were both involved and dragged them to the Circle dungeons to question them. Though he originally intended to recommend Tranquility for Nickolaus, the Senior Enchanter decided not to go down without a fight. He was quickly subdued. Ser Gwyn beheaded Nickolaus right in front of Andryanna. She was subsequently ostracized by other members of the Hossberg Circle for her involvement in this affair.

Relationships
Andryanna- Nickolaus considered her a surrogate child.
