[edit] Before Day 1
- See Andre Drazen's profile at Character profiles.
Andre was born to Victor and Elena Drazen on June 10, 1967 in Kragujevac, Serbia. He attended college and then received a Master of Science in engineering in Belgrade. He joined the Serbian Army and became an officer, and was also involved in the Black Dogs and Serbian Democratic Union organizations.
During an American-funded mission called Operation Nightfall, a team led by Jack Bauer targeted the apparent location of Drazen's father Victor for a bombing. The attack killed Victor's body double, but also unintentionally killed Andre's sister, Martina, and mother. His father was captured later, but remained in contact with Andre and Alexis to plan his escape and revenge.
[edit] Day 1
Andre Drazen hired Ira Gaines to assassinate Senator David Palmer and frame Jack Bauer. When Gaines failed, Andre took over the operation himself. In the meantime, he was also plotting to free his father, Victor Drazen, who had been held in secret by the U.S. government ever since his supposed death in Operation Nightfall.
Andre talked to his brother Alexis who had a girlfriend that was a member of Senator Palmer's advanced team. Andre had Alexis learn the Senator's schedule through her. Andre insrtucted Alexis to kill her a their next meet just to be safe.
Victor was transferred to a secret facility in Saugus at 7:20pm. Alexis Drazen had set up a deal with electric company worker Alan Morgan to cut the electricity for the area at that time, but that plan failed when Teddy Hanlin accidentally killed Morgan. Andre and his mercenary team led by Harris moved on to the backup plan, blowing a hole in the wall and killing everyone except Jack, whom they kept as a prisoner to trade for Alexis who had been in the emegency room after being stabbed by his girlfriend. When Andre and Victor got Alexis he began to die.
After George Mason left from delivered Alexis to Victor's men, Andre told him that they let Bauer go but they could not pick him up. Andre intructed Jack to go to Palmer and to have them talk to Palmer on the phone or they would kill Jacks daughter, Kim Bauer. Instead, they planted an explosive in the phone. After hearing it on the news, Andre and Victor believed that Palmer died in the explosion. Andre then called Jack Bauer learning that he had survived the explosive. Andre got a call from their contact, Nina Myers who informed Andre and Victor that Palmer was not dead and that it was just a trick to keep Kim alive.
After losing Kim Bauer, Andre and Victor had Nina Myers tell Jack that Kim was dead, hoping to ambush him when he came looking for revenge. Instead, both Andre and Victor were killed in the ensuing gunfight.
