Andrea Cavalcanti, also known as Benedetto, is a major antagonist in Gankutsuou: The Count of Monte Cristo.
Role in the Story
Andrea is first seen in prison somewhere in Paris, where he is freed by Baptistin and recruited by the Count as one of his underlings.
He later appears at the Count's villa, where he becomes acquainted with the most of the other characters.
Sometime later, Andrea manages to get on Baron Danglars' good side, eventually managing to usurp Albert de Morcerf's role in his and Eugenie's engagement. Ever since then, Andrea spends most of his time around Eugenie, attempting to woo her. He is later seen overhearing a conversation between Haydee Tebelin and Albert in the Count's home, which he scoffs at after Albert leaves. He tries to assault Haydee during their argument shortly afterward, but the Count, however, manages to stop Andrea before he can do anything harmful to Haydee.
Appearance
Personality
Andrea Cavalcanti is arguably the most sinister of the Count's henchmen, and is even more evil than the Count and Fernand Mondego themselves. A cruel and sadistic man, Andrea takes great pleasure in the chaos he causes, and is more than willing to continue on his destructive path for this reason. He has a strong dislike for society, saying that people all wear masks to cover up who they really are: monsters like him. Andrea is also a pervert, sexually assaulting his half-sister, Eugenie.
