André Gates

André Gates was a Black Dog Game Factory employee. In addition to his illustrations, he acted as developer for the Axes and Arcana imprint.

After twelve days of being trapped in their offices by gridlock during the Apocalypse, Gates died while chocking on a twenty-sided die. His remains became part of Evan Stump's "old family recipe."

Background Information
André Gates is a reference to Andrew Bates, who acted as developer of the Sword & Sorcery imprint, as well as other games such as Trinity and Mummy: The Resurrection. Given that Black Dog also produced a "Deviant" (Aberrant) RPG, it's possible André developed a precursor, perhaps called Triumvirate or Triat.
