King Andre watches approvingly as Guybrush is being threatened with a gun

King Andre is the smuggler king of Skull Island. He lives in the smuggler's cove with his assistant Cruff. His lair is filled with piles of treasures, primarily gold. Andre was the man who LeChuck sold the diamond of Minnie Goodsoup's wedding ring. In Part 5 of The Curse of Monkey Island the player must collect the diamond and the wedding band in order to lift the curse put on Elaine.

Guybrush reaches the smugglers cove with the assistance of the bumbling lackey LaFoot and an umbrella that he uses as a parachute. Guybrush challenges Andre and Cruff to a game of poker for the diamond. He wins with the five death-tarot cards he received from Madam Xima. However, immediately afterwards Andre and Cruff reveal their intention to kill him. To Guybrush's luck LaFoot comes in immediately and accidentally allows the wind to blow out the lights. As Cruff and Andre are left fighting each other in the dark Guybrush slips away.

Andre is a balding, black pirate with a menacing voice and a megalomaniac streak. The pirates who raid the remains of LeChuck's ship during Part 2 of the game express their intentions to sell their loot to King Andre.
