Biography[]
Heritage Issue[]
- "You hear about this piece of shit? Hired a couple thugs to beat the crap out of his half-sister."
"Why?"
"She inherited the one thing he wanted. He got everything else, but not this stupid sculpture." - ―Adrian and Trish Walker[src]
Learning that his sister, Madeline, inherited a valuable sculpture instead of him, Andrew Brandt hired a group of thugs who brutally assaulted Madeline. After beating her to a critical state, they stole the statue from her and handed it to Brandt, who stored it in his apartment. Brandt was arrested by the NYPD, however, they couldn't find the sculpture to link him to his sister's attack. Without any other significant evidence, the police had to drop the charges against Brandt. Without any police prosecutions, Brandt looked forward to selling the sculpture to an art gallery.[1]

"Right now, your sister's best friend."
"Get your nutjob ass out of here."
"Your turn to be the helpless one." - ―Andrew Brandt and Trish Walker[src]
One night, while Brandt was watching a boxing match at his apartment, something triggered the security system, so he went to check it, only to be confronted by a masked vigilante who broke into his place. The vigilante, who was following and tracking him for weeks, reminded him about his sister and, after Brandt demanded her to get out, she assaulted him. Brandt managed to get away from her and rushed to his vault to take his gun, but, before he could shoot the vigilante, Jessica Jones leaped into the apartment through the window, confusing both of them.[1]

The vigilante took the opportunity to cover herself, avoiding Brandt's shots before Jones hit him with a sofa. Left without his weapon, Brandt recognized Jones as an enhanced vigilante from viral video footage. The vigilante then rushed to the vault to take the sculpture, however, she was stopped by Jones, who took her away from Brandt. While they were fighting each other, Brandt took the sculpture and ran away from the apartment, leaving the vigilante with nothing.[2]
Confronted by Jessica Jones[]

- "I don't give a shit about the sculpture. I do give a shit that you hired someone to stab me."
"Stab you? Why? How? All you people have impenetrable skin." - ―Jessica Jones and Andrew Brandt[src]
As he handed the sculpture to the Cassaro Gallery, Brandt was contacted by a "gallery employee", who informed him that it was sold out, so Brandt told her to come to his hideout and give the money to him. However, the employee turned out to be Jessica Jones, who left Brandt without his gun and pinned him to the wall with his own car. Brandt assumed that Jones was hired by his sister and told her that she could have the sculpture if she wanted it so badly.

However, Jones replied that she did not care about the situation with his sister and accused Brandt of hiring someone to stab her. Brandt dismissed her accusations, saying that he was not foolish enough to go against enhanced vigilantes. Jones believed Brandt and let him go, but she then tied him up and left him to the vigilante. Later, the New York City Police Department broke inside the hideout, where they found Brandt with evidence against him, so they were able to arrest him.[3]
