Biography
Andy Herman was born to Richard and Monica Herman in the city of Louisville, Kentucky, in 1990. He attended school and college there, gaining employment with a local IT company.

He regular visited his parents, who had moved to nearby Flaherty, to escape the hustle and bustle of the city. After suddenly losing his employment in November of 2016, Andy Herman reluctantly moved in with his parents in the quiet, small town, until he had a chance to get back on his feet.

The people of Flaherty fared fairly well in the face of the initial spread of the infection, seeing only a small number of infected and taking few casualties. In time, they were confronted and threatened from their homes by The McConnell Clan, giving them a familiar ultimatum; leave, or die.

Andy Herman was the sole survivor of the ensuing ambush, wherein the McConnell's gunned down the Flaherty survivors outside of the safety of their homes. He set his sights for Louisville, walking the distance until being turned away by the large number of infected on the outskirts. Wounded from the firefight and thoroughly discouraged, he began working his way back south, destination West Point.

Camping in a storage unit in Valley Station, he was happened upon by Sirius Rowan, Jamie Coltrane, and Gage Weber. He exchanged a few words with the group before they left him. Shortly after, he packed up and continued on his way to West Point, directly back into the hands of The McConnell Clan.

Taking refuge in the Giga Mart, he was happened upon by Everett McConnell and several others, now in control of the town, who beat and took him back to the McConnell compound. He was crucified and placed at the northern border of McConnell territory to serve as a warning.

He was found by Ryder Sloane and Tommy Chestnut near the Valley Station bus stop, near-death. His legs had been tourniqueted and left at such a height to allow them to be eaten by passing zombies. The two brought him into the bus stop, where Haruka McClarren attempted emergency life-saving surgery. He succumbed to his injuries soon after, and was buried just outside of the trailer park in northern Valley Station.
