Andreas first came to prominence when he fostered his nephews, Theophylactus and Thomas, despite their humble and impoverished. During the waning years of Michael IV's reign, Andreas was regarded as a possible claimant to the throne as Michael lacked any lawful heirs. In the ensuring succession crisis and Grand Council, Andreas was one of at least six candidates, including his cousin Prince Leo of Ghant, over whom he was determined to be the lawful successor despite being a cousin to Michael IV in the female line.
