| Most of the Jedi had already been hunted into extinction, so Andan’s main task was to seek out other force-sensitive and bring them back for training. He was known for being rather good at his job; Andan would regularly bring two or three potential Dark Jedi back from each assignment, whereas others would bring one back every few times they went out. Andan was also a very persuasive interrogator and was regularly called back from assignments to extract information from prisoners who were being uncooperative.

| In a surprising turn of events, the Inquisitors learned of a group called the [[Dark Jedi Brotherhood]] who were reported to be a group of Dark Jedi working with an imperial warlord, the self-appointed Grand Admiral Ronin. Andan was sent with orders to investigate the group and bring back a few of their members for interrogation. However, when he finally found the elusive group of Dark Jedi his plans quickly changed.

|
| |
| Upon arrival, Andan was quickly impressed with the group of Dark Jedi. So much so, in fact, that he decided to abandon his position as an Inquisitors and join this group of Dark Jedi.

| | Andan progressed through the [[Shadow Academy]] quickly, showing a strong aptitude for strategy and space combat. However, he was also strong in the persuasive arts, physical persuasion included. However, information about him between his graduation from the [[Shadow Academy]] in 16 ABY and 27 ABY is hard to come by. It is known that Andan eventually ended up calling [[Clan Taldryan]] his home and worked directly under the various consuls who lead the clan, but the exact work he did is a secrete only known by the consuls he worked under and Andan himself. During this time he was awarded the Taldrya name and made a [[Sons_%26_Daughters_of_Taldryan|Son of Taldryan]]. |

Andan progressed through the Shadow Academy quickly, showing a strong aptitude for strategy and space combat. However, he was also strong in the persuasive arts, physical persuasion included. However, information about him between his graduation from the Shadow Academy in 16 ABY and 27 ABY is hard to come by.

During this time he was awarded the Taldrya name and made a Son of Taldryan.
During the Fall of Antei in 27 ABY, Taldryan suffered a tremendous loss: Taku "Crix" Matsuki Taldrya, the Quaestor of House Archanis, was killed in battle. Duga Taldrya Arkarso, Consul of Taldryan, quickly contacted Andan and informed him of Taldryan’s problem. Andan stepped up and replaced Taku as Quaestor.

During 28 ABY, House Archanis was closed once again due to lack of membership. Andan transferred to House Ektrosis at this time, where he stays to this day. He kept his title as Viceroy of Volcanus out of necessity - someone had to run the planet.
Lightsabers
Two lightsabers currently used by Andan
Taku "Crix" Matsuki Taldrya had a standing order saying that if he were to die while Quaestor of House Archanis, his personal effects were to be given to his successor. After his death in the Eighth Great Jedi War, Taku's few possessions were transferred to Andan, including four lightsabers. The first is a simple lightsaber constructed from parts Taku removed from the lightsaber of the first Jedi he killed. This lightsaber was of a simple tube with rings cut into it to aid in grip; the crystal used produced a brilliant orange blade. The second lightsaber was built during Taku's time in Clan Alvaak and is purple and features an extra long blade, as was customary in the clan.

The blade on this latest lightsaber is an intense orange and Andan plans on converting it to dual phase once he acquires the parts and knowledge to do so. He carries both of these lightsabers with him daily.
Taku Matsuki Taldrya's Lightsaber has recently become a relic of House Archanis and, as the last Quaestor of House Archanis, he holds the lightsaber.
Style
For a long time, Andan had been interested in studying dual saber combat. Although he had begun his DB career with the goal of studying Dun Moch and Trakata, in early 27 ABY he began to study Ataru and Sokan. Towards the end of 28 ABY, Andan's study of the two forms reached a point where he could use them in combat. At that point, he switched his primary style to Sokan.
