Andres Villarreal Argento is a Hurmu cleric of the Alexandrian Nazarene Church of Hurmu, Bishop of Hurmu since 1744. Born in Tingsala in 1697 to immigrants Pedro Villarreal Santos and Gabriela Argento Álvarez, devoted Nazarenes of the Alexandrian persuasion, who arrived in Lyrica during the Pacification of Lyrica with the aim to assist in the proselytisation of the former Vanic subcontinent. The family traces its origins to San Martin via Triegon). He grew up in a working-class neighbourhood and played association football in his youth. His father was a construction worker and his mother a careworker. He has three brothers and two sisters. He is the oldest of them all.
Villarreal initially began studying medicine, having been awarded a scholarship. He changed direction in his studies after feeling a religious calling to it during the 1719–1720 Hurmu civil conflict. He studied theology at the University in Kaupang, and was ordained as a priest in 1724. In 1732, he secured a degree of doctor of theology from Imperial University of Alexandria in Triegon (his studies having mostly been part-time and over distance). In 1744, he was appointed Bishop of Hurmu and head of the Alexandrian Nazarene Church of Hurmu by Archbishop Boniface VII. Four years later, in 1748, Boniface appointed him a Cardinal of the Autocephalous Nazarene Church of Alexandria. Cardinal Villarreal represented his church during the Alexandrian Nazarene conclave, 1752.
Cardinal Villarreal speaks Hurmu Norse, Alexandrian, Martino, and Lakkvian. He ascribes to the principles of Social Nazarenism, believing the church should focus on its mission to the common people and less on royal patronage and state functions.
His parents registered his name at his birth as Andrés (with a tilde). Villarreal himself has never used it, however, prefering the Hurmu-Lakkvian pronunciation and spelling of his name, Andres (with stress on the first syllable).
