In the fictional anime series Gundam Seed, Andrew Waltfeld is one ZAFT's best commanders and pilots. Nicknamed "Desert Tiger," Waltfeld is commander of the ZAFT forces in the PLANT-pledged African Community. His passions are coffee, archeology (especially Egyptology), and paleontology. He lives with his lover, Aisha, though the two are not married (Aisha's surname is unknown). During the time that Archangel is traveling through the desert, Andy makes the acquaintance of Kira Yamato, the GAT-X105 Strike Gundam's pilot, and grows fond of the young pilot, which makes the necessary confrontation between them more difficult. In battle with Kira and the Strike Gundam, his TMF/A-803 LaGOWE was destroyed, aside from that he lost one of his eyes and one arm, and Aisha. Though thought to have been killed, he joins Lacus and the others in the Triple Ship Alliance/Clyne Faction, as captain of the support ship Eternal. After the Bloody Valetine War, he lives in the Orb Union with Archangel captain Murrue Ramius. Between Gundam Seed and Gundam Seed Destiny, he receives a prosthetic arm, which conceals a small gun. Later in CE 73, he leaves Orb aboard the Archangel, along with Kira, Lacus, and Murrue. While Murrue offers him command of the ship, Andy declines, instead serving as a pilot with his custom MVF-M11C Murasame mobile suit.
