Andrew Bartholomew Rhodes, also known as the Master, is the leader of the Riverside Templars. He is a supporting character in Tom Clancy's The Division: Broken Dawn.
Biography[]
Prior to his retirement, Rhodes served in the United States Marine Corps, where he attained the rank of Colonel. He also earned a doctorate in medieval European history during his service years. At some point, he became friends with writer and scientist Roger Koopman.
As Rhodes witnessed the collapse of civil order in New York City following the outbreak of Green Poison, he drew on his knowledge of medieval history to found the Riverside Templars, a monastic order of warrior-monks, and christened himself 'the Master' to his followers. Their remit became safeguarding innocent civilians in Upper Manhattan, which fell beyond the reach of the beleaguered Joint Task Force. His followers also helped smuggle civilians out of Manhattan to seek their loved ones, as the island had been designated a quarantine zone.
Tom Clancy's The Division: Broken Dawn[]
When April Kelleher insisted on traveling to Ann Arbor, Michigan in search of broad-spectrum antivirals, Koopman directed her to seek out the Riverside Templars and wrote her a letter of introduction to give to Rhodes.
The next morning, Kelleher traveled north to Fort Tryon Park, where she was approached by a trio of Templars, led by Brother Michael. They escorted her to the Cloisters to meet Rhodes, who explained their mission and agreed to help her cross the Hudson River out of Manhattan after nightfall.
After successfully sneaking across the Henry Hudson Bridge together, Brother Michael directed her towards the Riverdale Yacht Club and gave her a jade Buddha to barter with, as a gift from Rhodes and the Templars. He then returned across the bridge, while Kelleher set off towards Michigan.
