In Dark Souls, what is the name of the blacksmith found in the Undead Parish?

The story behind the answer

In Dark Souls, the blacksmith found in the Undead Parish is Andre of Astora.

Andre works in a small workshop near the parish bonfire, making him one of the first major merchants and equipment specialists many players meet. He can repair weapons, reinforce standard equipment, and modify certain weapons when the player provides the necessary materials and embers. His position also makes him a convenient hub for repeated upgrades during the early game.

Andre is one of several blacksmiths in the original Dark Souls, and each has a distinct location and area of expertise. Vamos works in the Catacombs, Rickert of Vinheim is imprisoned in New Londo Ruins, and the Giant Blacksmith stands in Anor Londo. Those characters are not interchangeable, which is why Andre’s location is a useful identifying fact.
