First appearance: the unicorn from the stars

As a supporting figure in The Unicorn from the Stars, Andrew Beggars is not background color—the story leans on what they do once the chapter opens.

Andrew Hearne was shaped by his brother's watchful discipline, pulled back from wandering and pressed into the business when poverty nipped. He is the one sent for the doctor, yet he lingers with the troop of beggars outside, suggesting a lingering sympathy for the unsettled life. His divided loyalty between family duty and the road's pull quietly foreshadows the play's larger conflict.
