Description:
With dark brown hair and matching eyes, Albert appears fairly average. His hair is almost always perfectly combed and parted. He stands at about six foot, and is incredibly skinny, which means that although he has little fat he also doesn't have much muscle.
He has a very confident manner of carrying himself, although as of late that has been supplemented with tiny little actions that betray his inner worry. To the casual observer, however, he is perfectly at ease, and as a 'magician' he does an excellent job of tricking most people.
Albert dresses very professionally, and hates to appear disheveled or anything but perfectly put together and calm. This is probably a remnant of his former life. Regardless, it's hard to find him not wearing a button-up shirt and vest or full-on suit.
He also needs glasses, but frequently uses contacts and various pairs of spectacles to supplement his disguises.
Personality:
Don't let it be said that Albert isn't smart.
He is, by his own measure, quite brilliant. He claims the entirety of ADAM's creation as his own personal brainchild, which gives one an idea also of the magnitude of his ego.
A true loner, he does not often come into contact with people besides ADAM and the
Albert is not too good with social interactions himself, and he holds a certain disdain for the large majority of people. This is further augmented by the paranoia induced by his current state of affairs. He is constantly on his guard for the people of MagNat coming to hunt him down (as he understands what a bad plan running away with ADAM was) and as such rarely, if ever, reveals any clues about his past or true nature to those he interacts with. This is simply a measure of caution, both for himself and for ADAM, as he doesn't want his experiment falling back into the hands of MagNat.
Those that do interact with Albert will find him a tiring companion. He is constantly sarcastic in a very biting and cold manner, not really bothering to accommodate for feelings or triggers. Although he does have a sense of humor, it's extremely dry, meaning that often times he comes off as incredibly hostile, an illusion which he does nothing to dispel. Those that can realize the intentions behind his words will often still be turned away by his pompous mannerisms.
As a fugitive, he has quickly developed skills required for survival. A naturally fast learner, he has swiftly exploited his knowledge of psychology and eye for detail to understand and monitor the people around him. He does not, however, excel in fighting, and prefers to let ADAM handle that, although he is a fair shot with a revolver.
History:
Albert is a man that some would say has fallen remarkably far.
But a few years ago, he was a young doctor at the peak of his career, heading a well-funded research project intent on creating a humanoid robotic system. Well-established and esteemed for his brilliance, he was one of the top executives in the Magnum Nation in their most successful program.
After he created ADAM, however, that changed.
Albert took his creation and ran, going AWOL and shifting to an entirely different universe to escape MagNat. There are many theories as to why he did this, but he has neither confirmed or denied any of them--mostly because he hasn't encountered many people who know of his real identity.
Having access to the Flux is something that a refugee can find pretty darn convenient. Albert was able to bring both himself and ADAM to alternate universes. Nowadays, he can be found using the Flux to skip around in time in Past Imperfect. He did spend some time in Future Tense, but found that the place didn't have as many luxuries as he'd like and promptly vanished once more. He's been on the run for about five years now, but has traveled to different time periods within that.
Albert is currently living a rather comfortable, if anonymous and lonely, existence under the name of Ash Fuchs. He uses his skills gained during his time at MagNat to gain him money, often in rather immoral ways. His current gig is a street performer--he uses his understanding of the human brain (gotten while programming ADAM's mind) to perform 'magic tricks' while in the meantime picking the pockets of his audience. It gives him a fairly comfy existence, which he likes. Should authorities start to pick up on his activities, he can simply pack up and hop ship once more.
He has also performed illegal medical operations for a rather high fee, but he's good at what he does.
