Biography

Pre-series

Andy lived in Sleepy Hollow most of his life, and attended the same college as Abbie. Like Abbie, Andy followed the path to becoming a police officer. At some point in Andy's life, he sold his soul to Moloch, becoming his henchman.

Season One

After hearing a call over the radio by Abbie Mills, Andy apprehends Ichabod Crane who'd run in front of his car. While he warns Abbie away, it is revealed that Andy is aware of the the Headless Horseman.

Within the first episode, Andy is killed by Moloch after failing to help Horseman of Death obtain his head. However, some time after, the Demon changed his mind and resurrected him because he needed him to revive Serilda of Abaddon. Because his head had been snapped back when he first died, there is a ring of sagging skin around his neck. Apparently at some time he had sold his soul to the demon which is most likely how he knew about the Horseman. Apparently, he wants to help Abbie but is forced to serve the Demon since he sold his soul to him.

In "Necromancer", it is revealed that he is the necromancer for Death and thus is used by the Horseman as a mouth piece to control. Eventually, Andy conjured minions of Moloch, and teleported he and the Horseman elsewhere.

In "The Indispensable Man", Andy followed Abbie into her house and told her of his love for her and, most notably, that the prophecy foretold Ichabod giving her soul to Moloch. He escaped her handcuffs and left to his lair. Andy pleaded to become a part of Moloch's army and Moloch evolved him into a demon. He hunted down Abbie and Ichabod and attempted to nearly killed Abbie for the map. He was stopped by Henry Parrish, and pleaded for Abbie to kill him, which she reluctantly did.

Season Two

Andy Brooks ended up in Purgatory, and has seemingly returned to his human appearance. He told Abbie Mills about the mirror in Moloch's lair, and how Katrina had been using it behind Moloch's back. At this time, Andy still has some traces of humanity and free will, which is why he could choose to help Abbie.

It is unknown whether he escaped after Moloch's death.
