Andries Rhoodie

Andries Rhoodie was a leader of the Afrikanerweerstandsbeweging group that traveled from the year 2014 to 1864 to help the Confederate States win the American Civil War. Rhoodie was Robert E. Lee's primary contact with the group, providing Lee's troops with AK-47s. Rhoodie initially kept his origins a secret, but eventually told Lee the truth of his group's origins. He also presented Lee with an incorrect description of American history after the South lost the Civil War, claiming that the freed slaves had come to dominate the white race. In truth, Rhoodie and his men were a white supremacist group, who had interferred in history in the hopes that the Confederacy would eventually become an ally of Nazi Germany.

Lee, initially puzzled by the enigmatic Rhoodie, grew more suspicious of him as their association continued, especially when Rhoodie attempted to dominate Lee's run for the presidency and force Lee to perpetuate slavery. Lee, who'd grown to disdain slavery, refused to knuckle under. Subsequently, Lee's suspicions of Rhoodie and his men were confirmed when he obtained a a copy of The American Heritage Picture History of the Civil War. When Lee confronted Rhoodie, Rhoodie first denied the truth of the book, and then appealed Lee's sense of racism. Lee was not swayed.

In response, Rhoodie and some of his men attempted to assassinate Lee at his inaugaration. Lee survived, but many others were killed, including his wife Mary. The Confederacy rallied behind Lee, which crushed the Afrikanerweerstandsbeweging's insurrection.

Rhoodie was unable to escape back into the future. He was injured during the fighting. One of his slaves, to whom he'd been sadistically abusive, killed him after his capture.
