André Gates was a Black Dog Game Factory employee. In addition to his illustrations (he at least illustrated a "Developer: The Degradation" strip about life at Black Dog[1]), 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 choking on a twenty-sided die. His remains became part of Evan Stump's "old family recipe."[2]
