Andy Diggle

Sergeant Andrew "Andy" Diggle, Sr., or simply Andy Diggle, is a former bodyguard and crime lord. He is also the younger brother of John Diggle, the husband of Carly Diggle, the father of Andrew Diggle, Jr., and the uncle of Sara Diggle.

Early Life
Andy was a drug dealer at some point in his early life and was caught by John, who beat him until his knuckles bled. He convinced Andy to enroll in the army, hoping it would set him on the correct path.

Military
While serving time in the army, Andy spent time in Afghanistan and went back to selling drugs, becoming a crime lord. It was later revealed that Andy had been working with John and Andy's CO Lieutenant Joyner and Joyner's boss, Baron Reiter.

In 2010, John helped Andy with security at a party for Tommy Merlyn's birthday at the Merlyn Mansion.

Sometime after 2010, while working as a bodyguard, Andy was shot by Deadshot, who was hired by H.I.V.E. and presumed dead. His death however, was faked by H.I.V.E., who hired him for their operations. His faked assassination was cleverly covered up by Lawton to make it look like he was targeting Andy's client but in reality, Andy was the target. Unknown to Deadshot, his bullets were swapped with a non-lethal round that made the victim appear dead.

Working for H.I.V.E.
While under the influence of H.I.V.E., Andy served as a "ghost". While attacked by Team Arrow, Andy had the opportunity to kill his brother but hesitated and ran off. Andy was captured by Team Arrow and held prisoner at their hideout. John questioned Andy about if everything in Darhk's file was true and Andy confirmed the evidence.

Personality
Before his "death", Andy was a normal person who loved his brother. He went on to become a drug dealer but was caught by Diggle. He tried with all his efforts to kick his drug dealer habit, but he wasn't able abandon it as it was who he was. He did try hard enough to make Diggle believe he had abandoned drugs for good.

After his "death", Andy became very cold and indifferent. When John confronted him with the files of him being a drug lord, he apathetically told him all of it was true with no guilt whatsoever. The love he had for his wife and son had vanished too as he shows no sorrow when John shows him pictures of them and John even remarks that a real man would have asked to see photos of their family. Despite his cold and indifferent nature, the love for his brother prevailed as he redeemed himself by saving John from being shot by their former CO and Andy's partner in the drug business, Lieutenant Joyner.
