	Another secret has been frugality. Although the Wentworth Family is listed as the top 100 richest dynasties in the world, they do not easily take that wealth to excess. Unlike certain members of the Sinclair family, ~~Wentworth's~~ made it a point to not flaunt their wealth. They put a greater emphasis on business instead of profit, and with the noted exception of his nephew in his earlier years, most kept a low profile.		Another secret has been frugality.

			It was not known to many people, but Andrew was one of the "Voices" within the Alliance. This was a secretive position within an already secretive association that helped mold and shape Alliance activities. As the "Voice of Paragon City", he was the one that had [[Lord Geddy]] resurrect Shadowborn to serve as his proxy. This was done with the understanding that should Geddy succeed in his efforts, he will become a member of the Alliance.

	When it was known that Andrew engineered the assimilation of Shadowborn and the disbanding of the Guardians, there were several members of the Alliance that considered Andrew to be a threat to their own positions in the organization. Their greatest fear was that Andrew would use the intelligence resources of Shadowborn ~~combined with the might of the former Guardians~~ to assume control of the Alliance itself. Even though Andrew never expressed such a desire, the mere thought he could do this was enough to make several Alliance members nervous.

'''Andrew Wentworth''' is the CEO of [[Wentworth's Fine Consignment]] and the patriarch of the Wentworth family dynasty. He is also the uncle of [[Alex Wentworth]], currently serving as District Attorney for Paragon City.

=Character History=
Andrew continues the tradition of the Wentworth family that goes back to the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rhode_Island#Colonial_era:_1636.E2.80.931770 founding of the Rhode Island colony] in the 1630's, providing a marketplace for people.

Unlike certain members of the Sinclair family, Wentworth's made it a point to not flaunt their wealth. They put a greater emphasis on business instead of profit, and with the noted exception of his nephew in his earlier years, most kept a low profile.

He considered this assignment to be fortuitous as it allowed him to work with the Cuban nationals and build a friendly rapport with the the local businesses. His Marine nickname was "Top Hat", based on the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Monopoly_%28game%29#Equipment Monopoly game piece].

After serving his tour, he went to college and got a degree in economics. He then began working for [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/U.S._Securities_and_Exchange_Commission U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission] for five years. Afterward, he joined the family business, where he rose from a junior executive to his current position as CEO.

==Bilderburg Alliance==
Andrew has been an active member of the [[Bilderburg Alliance]] for at least five years. It was believed that he earned a position of trust and respect within the Alliance, which also allowed him to make several deals with European shipping companies that would bring business to Paragon City ports.

He was also the one that used his connection with the Alliance to assimilate the [[Shadowborn]] organization and also to force the Guardians of the Dawn to disband. He was seen then as being one of the more powerful members of the Alliance.

==Family Relations==
As patriarch of the Wentworth Family, Andrew is often seen as the final deciding voice on all family affairs. He rarely exercised that authority over his extended family, though, which made his decisions even more final.

In the matter of Alex Wentworth, Andrew was the one that made the arrangements to have his nephew released from his prolonged incarceration after being wrongly accused of a crime. It was Andrew's resources that located the one witness that could vindicate Alex, and then arranged to have her released, and then arranged for the special hearing for her to testify.

Andrew's participation, though, came with a price for his nephew. Alex had to sign away any claim to the Wentworth fortune and even agree to stay away from Wentworth's Consignment stores, which just started to appear in Paragon City.

While expressing pride over his nephew's public transformation from a "celebutatnt" to his involvement in the [[Paragon Libertarian Society]] as well as his role in [[Architect Entertainment]], Andrew would later suspect that Alex also developed a career as a superhero. To that end, he hired [[Simon Barrister]] to get proof that Alex was in fact the "Libertarian Avenger".

Once Barrister had the proof Andrew was looking for, he used the attempt on Alex's life to confront his nephew on it. Again, he offered Alex a "one-time only" offer, which was for is "associates" to assimilate the [[Shadowborn]] organization and suspend all activity with them. In exchange, Alex would give up being a superhero, and also for his [[Guardians of the Dawn|hero group]] to disband. Alex hesitantly agreed.

Since then, Andrew has had an abrasive relationship with his nephew, often looking for "clarification" on the role of their "associates" in certain activities.

==Second Understanding==
When it was known that Andrew engineered the assimilation of Shadowborn and the disbanding of the Guardians, there were several members of the Alliance that considered Andrew to be a threat to their own positions in the organization. Their greatest fear was that Andrew would use the intelligence resources of Shadowborn combined with the might of the former Guardians to assume control of the Alliance itself.
