Albert

== Background ==
Because Albert is a side character in his own backstory, here is what happened to Celeste Dubois. 
She was a young elf who worked as a tailor in Orlais. The job ran in family, and she enjoyed her simple life, even though she sometimes yearned for a more lavish life. She gets a visit from a
noble, and while working on the clothes he requested, they fell in love. The noble, Jean-Pierre D'Ezoire by his name, takes her to his mansion and they
eventually get married. Because of Celeste being an elf, they agree to keep the
marriage a secret, so everyone knows his wife as just another servant. It’s still unclear even for her if it was love for him or his social status and money.
 When D’Ezoire learned his wife is pregnant he hired a midwife, Miranda, in order
to deal with the pregnancy as subtle as possible. He didn't want any doctor to guess what an elf giving birth to a human looking baby could mean. Fortunately, or rather unfortunately, this wouldn't really have been an issue. 
Around the end of Justinian 9:21, Celeste gets invited to a party in Antiva, where she gets really drunk and also meets Maolen. Bad combination, probably as bad as the drinks she combined that night. She wakes up the following morning next to the elf who would become her son’s real father.
Finally, more than halfway through this story, Albert is born. In a desperate attempt to hide Celeste's infidelity, Miranda cuts through the newborn's pointy ears with a hot knife, hoping to make him pass more as a human. When D'Ezoire asks to see his son and Celeste hands him an elf with cut ears, he gets mad at her for cheating and at Miranda for trying to cover it for her and they are exiled from Orlais. Celeste saw everything as a punishment for trying and overcome her condition as an elf and
quietly accepted this faith. Though probably to keep living with D’Ezoire would have probably been much worse for her happiness. Miranda and she move to Denerim and start a new life there as a married couple.
Together, the two raised Albert, hoping he won't question his cut ears, which would reveal his past. This obviously isn't the case and, after Celeste hid some seemingly irrelevant details
about the story, Albert decides to run away from home because he wanted to question D'Ezoire himself. Or because I had to play the third Istario. Or because I love the ”side character tries to gain notoriety” trope. You name it.
