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.

Military
While serving time in the army, Andy spent time in Afghanistan and became a crime lord.

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.

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 even got Diggle the security job for Merlyn, which eventually got him security working for the Queen family.

After his "death", Andy seemingly lost all emotions in him. When Diggle confronted him with the files of him being a drug lord, he apathetically told him all of it was true with no guilt whatsoever.

Behind the scenes

 * Andy is likely named after Andy Diggle, the author of Green Arrow: Year One, upon which the first season of Arrow is largely based.
 * In the Arrow comic chapter, "Aftermath", Andy is stated to have died on April 8, 2009. However, this was retconned in-show in the Arrow episode,, in which he is still shown to be alive in 2010. The date is further confused when John Diggle is told by an A.R.G.U.S. agent in that Lawton was hired "to do a hit back in oh-nine". Furthermore, in , John claims that Andy let his family believe he was dead for eight years, putting it in around late 2007.
