Andrew Midgarde, Baron of Cobbletown, is the artificer son of Count Midgarde. He has a civil defence artificing licence and is highly technically competent, able to create incredibly powerful golems, but does not yet seem to have learned the principles behind safe field testing.
Following the party's impromptu lab safety course, he was taken to The Hand for testing to see if he would be fit to join their ranks. Higgins was less than thrilled.
He later reappeared to brief the party on the Goodplace incident, as his own fief bordered the Barony of Woodbridge, making him the local expert. It was not made clear whether he had joined The Hand or simply happened still to be in town.
Andrew later worked as Draven's lab assisstant while curing the Astral Plague. After curing Black, Little One and Angel, Draven used the Breastplate of the Master to control Andrew's body (with his consent) to perform the procedure on himself. However, Andrew realised that there was another intelligence in the system as well: that of The Albtraum.
Thanks to his warning, Draven was able to abort the procedure in time and rescue the seed, but Andrew was killed in the subsequent battle with Al's corporeal form. Due to Demonac's ruling after Fadeer's that resurrection magic should be rarer, Andrew could not be raised, making him the last named character to die on-screen in TDDC.
