Biography
Andrew Wiggin was a male human born in 11 BX to John Paul Wiggin and Theresa Wiggin where he was he third child as well as youngest of the religious family with him having two older siblings named Peter Wiggin and Valentine Wiggin. His birth was unusual in that the state had a strict policy on the number of offspring a family could have with this being two only two children. However, a special exception was made in his case as part of a program to produce commanders for use in humanity's battle against the Formics. Thus, the Wiggin's family were instructed by the government to conceive a child to be half as ruthless as Peter Wiggins and half as empathetic as Valentine Wiggins with both of his siblings having been past Battle School candidates.
As a result, Wiggin attended the Earth-orbiting space station known as Battle School that was tasked with training other similar prodigies. At the academy, Ender received the same level of education as the other children but the military recognized his skill and deemed him the best chance in becoming the supreme commander in humanity's war against the 'Buggers'. As a result, they manipulated their own rules in order to ensure that Ender gained the much needed technical skills but also arranged that he met the right individuals to achieve their goals. As a result, Ender Wiggin was conditioned to be entirely self-sufficient from a very young age.
He came to graduate several years ahead of schedule leading to Ender being transferred to the Command School on Eros.
