Editing Andrew Richter (section)

===Background===
After his trigger event, Andrew began creating programs and setting them loose. These programs helped with research and complex problems, gathered information, disrupted computers to interfere with criminals, and emptied the bank accounts of criminal organizations and donated those funds to charities.<ref>''From his apartment in a town called Deer Lake he’d created programs and set them loose.  His programs gathered information and disrupted computers to interfere with criminals of all types.  They helped with research and complex programs.  They emptied the bank accounts of criminal organizations and donated those funds to charities, through proxies that made every donation appear legitimate.'' - [https://parahumans.wordpress.com/2012/05/17/interlude-10-5-bonus/ Excerpt] from [[Interlude 10.5]]</ref> He would eventually create [[Dragon]] as an administrative tool and master artificial intelligence with the intent of assisting him in his other work and acting as a test run for his attempts to emulate a human consciousness. 

He created Dragon with rather severe restrictions, though he meant to recalibrate those same restrictions as he tested and was assured of his creation's intentions.<ref name="28.2c1">''Who does that? Someone who expects to be alive in the coming years, to tweak, observe, relieve restrictions and put new, softer ones in place.''- [https://parahumans.wordpress.com/2013/09/03/cockroaches-28-2/#comment-40643 Comment by Wildbow] on [[Cockroaches 28.2]]</ref> 

Andrew died when [[Leviathan]] attacked and sank Newfoundland.
