Andrew Greene is a biologist and Enlightened agent of the Technocracy, working for the Progenitors. Greene was recruited in 1989 by Dr. Charles Reid, and educated by Reid and others in Richmond, Virginia. Presented with Technocracy propaganda, Greene largely believed in their ideals, though he privately questioned some of the extreme views of his teacher. He became well aware that he had little choice but to continue with the Progenitors when one of his classmates, Rob, was replaced with a clone after rebelling against Dr. Reid. Initially keen for knowledge, he realised during his training that it is folly to want to know everything.
