Andrés is a Uruguayan middle-aged man who appeared in The Remnant. He was discovered without the mark of loyalty because he was afraid of the needle used in the application of the mark, but was able to avoid detection for a long time from the authorities because he obeyed the decree to worship the image and no one suspected him. In an interview, he said that he still feared the needle but he feared the blade much more. In a ceremony that culminated in "loyalty enforcement" with the support of a cheering crowd and the wife of the South American subpotentate, he received the mark of loyalty on his forehead, a small 0 for him. After receiving the mark, he felt genuinely relieved and happy. Immediately, he ran to a statue of Carpathia and fell to his knees before it. While Nicolae Carpathia was watching Andres take the mark from a live feed, he expressed disdain for Andrés because despite Andrés' worship of him, he was afraid of a pinprick.

In the other part of the ceremony at the "worship and enforcement center", thirteen captured believers refused the mark of loyalty and were singing hymns, including "When I Survey The Wondrous Cross", before being executed by the guillotine.
