Biography
A computer programming and chess enthusiast, he was a summer intern at Cyberdyne at the time Miles Dyson was still alive. Miles liked Andy. Andy studied computer science at CalTech but never obtained his degree; he had to drop out in his senior year because his father died and he had to take care of his mom.
Finding files at the resistance fighter safe house containing pictures of Andrew Goode, Sarah decided to go and find him. Sarah Connor met him while buying cell phones and they had dinner together that night. He showed her The Turk, the chess playing machine, and Sarah realized that this highly adaptable program was the precursor to Skynet. Sarah developed feelings for Andy and scolded Cameron for having the idea to kill Andy. She knew that she might have to kill Andy to stop Skynet, but she wanted to find an alternative.
Sarah decided to set Andy's house on fire, destroying The Turk. Andy then built another Turk, one that was much more advanced, and entered in a chess tournament in which the winner would gain a military contract. Before the match, Andy introduced Sarah to Dmitri Shipkov his partner. After losing to the Japanese team, Andy was killed by Derek Reese, a Resistance member sent from the future.
Post Judgment Day - Billy Wisher
In the future timeline, Andy went by the name Billy Wisher in the years after Judgment Day. In 2027, while captured by Skynet, Andy revealed to resistance fighter Derek Reese that he was the creator of The Turk, along with a group of other men. Andy feels guilty for his involvement and pleads for forgiveness. Due to feeling guilty for what happened on and after the Jugdment Day, the constructor of the Turk indicates his accordance to Derek´s mission to eliminate him in the past (2007) and in advance provides him forgiveness for the homicide. Basically, Andy is "sentenced" to death by his future self for something that is no crime but rather a positive contribution to community (The Turk was meant to be an Innovation) and something he had not done yet. Derek succeeds in killing Andy, but does not admit his act to anybody (especially not to Sarah, despite being asked).
