== Biography ==
Albert was born in Edinburgh to a Scottish father and an English mother. He joined the British Army before WW1 as an officer and was stationed in Asia to help train Japanese soldiers as part of the Anglo-Japanese Alliance. It was here that he would meet Tojo Tonju and give him Western style officer training. In WW1, Albert would be stationed in Europe to fight the Germans. Afterwards he would be stationed in Burma, and would meet with Tojo and some other Japanese soldiers before the alliance was ended to give them updated training based on the years of fighting in Europe. Albert enjoyed fencing in his spare time and would enjoy sparring with Tojo, they were constantly competing to prove whether the Eastern or Western style of sword fighting was better as their skills seemed to be similar.
By the time of WW2, Albert had been promoted to Brigadier. He would have been discharged if the war didn't break out as he was suffering from ill health and was struggling to keep up with the demands of his job. He would command troops to defend against the Japanese invasion of Burma. This would be his last action though, as he would be captured in the fierce fighting of the area by none other than Tojo Tonju, who he hadn't seen since 1919. Tojo would give Albert a sword and duel him one last time. Unfortunately for Albert, he was in no state to fight, unlike Tojo who never stopped practising, and his death was inevitable. It is unclear whether Tojo offered Albert this duel out of respect or as a sadistic way to prove his prowess.
