Albert

Albert (アルバート) was the previous Hero chosen by the Vassal Mirror from Glass' World.

Appearance
Albert is described as a handsome man with black hair and eyes. He looked like he might be Japanese and in his mid-20s.

Personality
Not much is known about Albert's personality since he was only seen after he was experimented on. However, he had a harem similar to Trash #2 and his country was amiable with Kyo's country. He had a bad relation with Glass and her company.

Abilities
As a Vassal Wielder, Albert had great potential and access to a wide variety of abilities. After being experimented on by Kyo, he was infused with power from the Spirit Tortoise in exchange for independent thought.

 * Moon... Verse: Shoots a powerful moon-like disc of light.

Background
Albert was the Vassal Wielder assigned to the Vassal Mirror Country of Glass' World. Over time, he was able to gather a large harem of loyal women. His country was friendly with Kyo's country but were enemies with L'Arc's country.

Eventually, Kyo defeated Albert in secret and blamed his death on the other heroes. His body was used for Kyo's illegal experiments against the Vassal Mirror's wishes.

Volume 8
He's first mentioned as the Vassal Hero of the country that prisoned Kizuna. When Naofumi's group was trying to make them way out of his country, the female hero spoke about him as a possible enemy.

Volume 9
At Kyo's laboratory, Naofumi's party and the heroes of Glass' world found his harem. Similar to Tsugumi and the rest of Trash #2's harem, they had been transformed into human-guardian beast hybrids. They were told to guard Kyo's laboratory or else Albert may be killed. They were defeated by Naofumi and the other heroes fairly easily.

Exploring further into the laboratory, the heroes found Albert along with Trash #2 and Trash #2 homunculi suspended in experiment tanks. The tanks then burst and the experiments walked out to face the heroes. The Vassal Mirror asks Raphtalia and Kizuna for help. It turns out that more than half of Albert's soul had been taken. Even though Vassal Weapons are supposed to their owners after the owner's death, Albert had been tied to the Vassal book and put under Kyo's control. It looked like he had also been powered up by the Spirit Tortoise's power. With Albert's awakening, Kyo arrives and commands all of his experiments to attack the heroes.

During his battle against the heroes, Kyo revealed that he has experiments planned with the Vassal Mirror and Albert. When Rishia was about to stab Kyo, he pulled in Albert as a human shield. With the help of Naofumi's Attack Support and Kizuna's Double Lure Hook abilities, she pierced right through the Vassal Mirror into Albert's chest. With Albert's body killed, the Vassal Mirror and the remainder of his spirit were released. Later in the battle, Kyo revealed that he took the Vassal Mirror's power-up method and was the one who defeated Albert initially. Once the Vassal Mirror was able to confirm Albert's complete death, it helped Naofumi defeat Kyo.

Relationships
Like many other heroes, he too had a loyal harem. After he was taken captive and killed by Kyo, their lovers were fooled by the Book Hero who promised to release his already dead friend if they worked for him.

Legendary Heroes & Vassal Heroes As a hero convinced and backed up by a country that doesn't believe in the menace of the Waves, he wasn't interested in work together with Kizuna, L'Arc, Glass, or other heroes who weren't allied to his country. When Kizuna and Naofumi were trying to escape from his nation, the hunter hero stated that it was probable that Albert would attack them if the group meet him. Although their countries were in amicable terms, Kyo leads his nation to take over Albert's sponsor country and killed him shortly afterward.
