Andronicus Knoxx or just Andron, was a scientist truly unmatched in his brilliance and high level intelligence. As an overly bright young man who had promised his people nothing but greatness, he was revered and held in very high regard by his homecity, Asteria, even gaining the title "Light of Asteria" to accordingly describe him as a beacon of hope for his people.
Despite his seemingly perfect and flawless record and reputation, tragedy struck when one day, completely out of the blue, Knoxx was reported to have set off explosives on the premises of Elscyon Labs, in an attempt to eliminate his fellow scientists. This, to many, was equally unbelievable as it was strange, and yet he was quickly arrested and, without even a proper trial, incarcerated at Terminus Prison amongst the lunatics and savages, much to his desperation. To this day, the mystery of what had truly happened that day has stayed unknown to everyone but him and his.. "colleagues".
Andron always seems to be one step ahead in any situation, and seems to understand the human psyche quite well. He is often plagued by prophetic dreams and visions, although much to his disappointment he can't seem to make heads or tails of what they mean. Such visions and abilities are often attributed to the people known as Oracles, but alas, the day when he might actually meet them in search for answers is still far away.

Andron is ever the proud man. His attitude and vain personality is perhaps one of the few things someone might truly dislike him for, although most of the time he keeps himself well-mannered and polite. He is well respected and knows how to make himself liked to anyone, even resorting to meaningless flattery sometimes. Although he is very self-absorbed and views most other people as mindless beings lacking any substance, he still craves and thrives off their admiration above all, a fact that he has yet to realize himself. There are, of course, those rare occurences where an individual surprises him and exceeds his expectations, which is always a pleasant thing to come across. Andron is usually calm and refrains from strong emotions, but as he is only human, he sometimes slips up and acts out of order, he'll admit.
✔ "Hmm. I am quite fond of painting. I consider it a .. window into one's mind. People just don't practice such arts as often they used to. What a shame." ✖ "I've grown weary of the loneliness a single room can bring, day by day, night by night. The blinding, flickering lights, the padded walls and the sickening, morbid silence.. Sitting alone with no other company but yourself, some might call it peace of mind.. No, I shamefully admit, I detest the thought of being alone for long."
✔ "The phoenix.. wonderful, fascinating things. They're often described as wild and untamed, but there is a certain level of elegance that comes with them, as with any other wild thing.. I was lucky enough to witness them soaring the skies. To try describing such a sight would do it no justice." ✖ "I despise boring, mindless people. Those who lack a certain vision, who have nothing interesting to say or give to the world.. People who have nothing to fight or strive for, no ambitions.. Pardon my bitterness, but maybe that's what my former colleagues were missing. They lacked that.. thirst for knowledge and the unknown, the flame of passion for their duties. No wonder all their work was often so- .. You understand, I needn't elaborate."
✔ I enjoy stargazing a whole lot. Naturally, when I was working at Elscyon Labs I didn't get much spare time to occupy with trivial things like that, but now.. Well, maybe this change has been for the better.. I joke, of course, I miss the sanctity of my job." ✖ I don't know which I dislike more, big bustling parties or quiet, empty rooms. I don't often enjoy sitting by myself, but parties are no better if you consider the blaring loud music, the chattering of imbeciles, the stuffiness of it all and the superficiality of said imbeciles.. Sometimes, the presence of a single person can be more than an entire room of people."
> He enjoys painting and is very talented. Sometimes he paints the things he sees in his prophetic dreams as to not forget.
> No old lore or myths are unknown to him, although in the case of the latter he knows to treat them accordingly and not trust them blindly. He just thinks they're oddly interesting to research.
> Andron likes keeping plants, or, well, trying to. Every single plant he's had so far has withered in his care under mysterious circumstances. ("Hmph. I don't remember ever mentioning such a thing.. How did this get here?")
> Andron has a habit of dangling and fidgeting with his earring whenever he's lost in thought.
> He smokes quite alot in secret, which he is aware is an awful habit.
> He doesn't like doing chores like washing dishes or setting the table, so without the comfort of his robot-filled home, he can be quite unorganized.

Prophetic visions/dreams
He is plagued by dreams and visions of the future, although even someone as smart as him has trouble making heads and tails of such visions, so I suppose they're more of a curse than a gift.
Manipulation
Andron has a good grasp on one's psyche, making it easy for him to know what buttons to press and how to really get under somebody's skin. It's a very effective way of getting someone on your side, or turning them against another.
Mind Reading (?)
It isn't clear if he truly has psychic mind reading abilities, or if he's just particularly good at anticipating what one is thinking at every moment. Safe to say it's not easy to be one step ahead of him.
Close friends/Romantic
"Sick! Hey, check this thing out! Have you ever seen a flower this huge?"
"I would vehemently advise you not to touch that. It's body is covered in sticky, acidic droplets that ensnare it's victim and cause death by dissolving and struggle exhaustion.. I much prefer you in one piece."
"I .. knew that."
"Of course you did. Ever the wise one, my dear."
".. Stupid traitor plant."
Friends
"I'm very intrigued by all the advanced technology present on the premises, Captain. Especially your AI assistant.. Is it a new model?"
"Who, ECCO? She's, err- well, less of an assistant and more of a .. full-time babysitter for my dumb ass."
"In that case, her and I share familiar struggles.."
Role model (of sorts..)
"Please mind your step."
"Nyoom! Nyoom! Hahahaha nyoom!! Look, Andy, look!! i'm an airship!!"
"Yes, yes, you- excuse me? What did you just-?"
"Pretty good nickname overall, I give it a solid 9 and a half. Might just start calling you that myself!"
"Don't even think about it, Sean."
Friends
"....."
"Is.. something the matter, miss?"
"Be honest, are you guys really friends with my dad? Blink twice if you're being held against your will."
"I'm afraid I don't follow..?"
"Sorry, sorry! It's just- it's been literal years since i've seen him hang out with anyone! My dad isn't exactly a people person."
