«John André was a major in the British Army and head of its Secret Service in America during the American Revolutionary War»
“This man’s a liar. Coldstream lieutenant not knowing his regiment’s motto. He was likely sent back to us as a spy.” - Turn: Washington’s Spies (1.06, Mr. Culpeper)
Alternate crack! canon for Major Andre, Turn Season 3:
As punishment for his crimes of espionage (and weaponised cuteness), Major Andre is sentenced to the worst fate that the Continental government can bestow:
A lifetime sentence in the education system. No amusing scientific contraptions, endless Latin declensions, and occasionally the odd pupil who makes his life living hell.(These are many, and line-writing is the only power of punishment he has). Tea and self-pity are his only consolation.
Andre sometimes wishes they had hung him, but consoles himself by the fact that he is not, in fact, teaching dance and deportment like that poor bastard Robert Rogers...
sounds about right
... Pretty much my reaction on wikipedia’ing the guy. I KNEW JJ Feilds was doomed! He was far too nice a spymaster to survive long...
