Andre Baxter

The youthful boy below who turned your way and saw

Something he was not looking for: 

both a beginning and an end 

But now he lives inside someone he does not recognize

When he catches his reflection on accident

Andre Baxter was the co founder of The Thirteenth Order. He died three years ago, on March 30, 2263, at age 23, on a raid on a lab in Pittsburgh. He was Jonah Tyler's cousin, and worked alongside Tyler to form the Order. Under Baxter's leadership, the Order was a less violent organization, focused on the freedom of individuals who were held against their will, especially youths, in various labs across the continent. Violence was only employed when neccessary to defend. Once Baxter died, however, Tyler took the group in a more violent direction.

Abilities & Nonviolence
Andre was public about his own gifts, acquired from his mother, who was herself a test subject from her own youth. He had the ability to temporarily control the minds of a number of individuals around himself. However, Andre publicly swore never to use his gift, even in self defense, because he believed that the gifts were something that humanity needed to abandon, that they were only going to lead to man's downfall. He was a self proclaimed pacifist, even though he admitted that sometimes violence, in defense of those who cannot defend themselves, is sometimes necessary. This position is notably different than Tyler's, and has almost completely disappeared from the credo of the Order.
