Andrew Marsteller
Andrew, better known as Andy or Mary F Poppins, is by far the most transitory of the signatores. Originally from Allentown, Pennsylvania he joined the military after completing college and currently lives in Aguadilla, Puerto Rico.

The Story of Two Games
Andy originally saw Risk Legacy advertized as a "must own" game on a year end board game review. After reading its description he concluded that the label was well earned and bought a copy immediately. His single purpose for buying this game was to return with it to Pittsburgh and engage in a years-long campaign against the same group of friends who he had wasted spent so many hours gaming with in college.

As beer is an essential  part of a board gaming experience Andy had attempted to bring a Puerto Rican beer, Old Harbor El Coqui Lager, with him to Pittsburgh. Unfortunately the bottle opened in transit and thoroughly damaged his copy of Risk Legacy. A little dismayed he communicated this information to the other signatores, but upon furher inspection he found that only the box had been damaged. The game itself was unharmed. While inspecting the game Andy also made a startaling discovery. There was an envelope hidden under the main game component tray labeled simply "Do Not Open.  Ever." When Dana Haakensen arrived Andy showed him the discovery and they shared in a giddy, manic laugh. Unbeknownst to Andy and Dana, JP Hanish III had, hearing that the game had been soaked in beer, gone out and purchased another copy. The copy JP bought is, in fact, Planet 00017892. The original copy which Andy bought, having already been christened with beer, became an alternate history known simply as "The Beerverse".

Within the Game
Andy won the 1st Legacy War, founding the major city of Stalingrad in Russia as his prize. Traditionally he and Dana have been fierce rivals within strategy games, but this tendancy has not come into play on Planet 00017892 yet. Instead Andy has found himself in competition with his traditional ally Martin Habich for control of the resource rich South Central Continent. Most of the significant battles, both victories and defeats, in Andy's campaign have been against Martin. Stalingrad, in fact, is built upon the sight where Martin's headquarters was built during the 1st Legacy War. When it fell to Andy the war came to an end. Similarly, Andy's greatest defeat came during the 3rd Legacy War when his headquarters, located in Venezuela in an attempt to steal Martin's major city of Rio de XKCD, fell to Martin's reprisal.
