Occasionally, he has been shown to be rather tough to deal with, such as whenever Franz d'Epinay tried to tell Albert how dangerous the Count was.

He later falls in love with his fiancee, Eugenie Danglars, as the series progresses.
==Biography==
Albert first meets the Count of Monte Cristo during a visit to Lune with his childhood friend, Baron Franz d'Epinay. After the Count rescues him from a gang of kidnappers, Albert introduces him to Paris' high society, including his family. Coincidentally, all those people that Albert introduces the Count to are the same people that wronged the latter in the past, back when he was still Edmond Dantes. He manipulates Albert into helping him to exact his revenge on them, and even Albert's kidnapping was orchestrated by him to ingratiate himself with Parisian society. It's later revealed that the Count is being aided by the demonic entity Gankutsuou, who helped him to escape prison in exchange of possessing his body.
After the Count ruins Fernard's name, Albert challenges him in a duel for his family's honor, but Franz takes his place and is killed in the process, although not before inflicting a fatal wound to the Count, and it's only thanks to Gankutsuou that he is still alive. Upon learning about his father's true intention of taking over the Earth government and waging a war with the Eastern Empire, Albert and Mercedes try to reason with him, but he injures them and confronts the Count, eventually holding Haydée hostage. By then, Gankutsuou takes over the Count's body completely and tries to kill Albert, but Albert manages to exorcise the demon from the Count's body, which leads to the Count's demise. Before vanishing, Gankutsuou summons a black hole to ravage the Count's garden, but everyone except Fernard escapes alive. Five years later, Albert reunites with his love interest Eugenie.
