Andre of Astora is the primary blacksmith in the original Dark Souls game where he sold the Crest of Artorias and accepted embers to upgrade weapons down the "normal" path. Located below the Undead Parish bonfire, he served as the main "hub" for early game weapon upgrades as well as selling arrows and titanite.

If hit enough times, he fought back with fists and the occasional dropkick and proved to be a tough opponent to kill.

In Dark Souls 3, he is the only blacksmith available to you in Firelink Shrine and as well as accepting all coals for every upgrade path. He also took shards to increase Estus use, and allots flasks to either healing or FP regeneration.

Interestingly, when he is given Giant's Coal that is found where the Giant Blacksmith was in the first game, he not only recognises it, but talks about missing the Giant, making it certain that he is in fact the same character that we encountered in the very first game.

This makes him the only person other than "Unbreakable Patches" to have survived all the way from the first game until the end.
