## History

### Season 2

Before Reggie introduced Stabler to Albi, Reggie tells Stabler never to look Albi in the eye because it is a sign of aggression, never contradict him and never make a promise you can't keep. At the Besa Boxing Gym, Albi asks Reggie about Stabler and asks if he works for him. Stabler looks Albi dead in the eye before Reggie says that Stabler, whom he refers to as Eddie "Ashes" Wagner, is working for him. Albi asks why Reggie is talking of him. He asks Stabler about the money and how they will get it back. Stabler makes sure that they are going to get the money back and Albi gives them 48 hours. (OC: "The Man With No Identity")

While Stabler is at the diner with Reggie, they get a call from Albi and they arrive at a burnt down bagel shop. Albi becomes suspicious of the owner and started to believe that the owner started the fire himself for a payout. Stabler tells Albi and Reggie that he will look around to determine if the fire was an arson or an accidental fire. Albi didn't wait for Stabler to finish looking around and shot the bagel shop owner to death. (OC: "New World Order")

Stabler found out that Albi murdered a man named Tristan Vucaj. Stabler later found out that Albi murdered Tristan because he was having an affair with him and he didn't want anybody to know that he was bisexual because being bisexual in his culture wasn't accepted. He later attempted to kill Stabler for finding out but earned his trust. (OC: "The Outlaw Eddie Wagner")

Kosta, Albi and Luka were waiting to speak with Stabler, while Bell and Brewster listened in waiting to take action if Stabler's in trouble. However, Stabler was almost out of the ordeal but Albi vouched for him. Stabler was charged with the deed of robbing a bar and Albi gave him all the details he needed. (OC: "For A Few Lekë More")

Flutura reveals to Stabler that Albi saved her after Flutura was sold to sex traffickers by her father, while on the boat to america. Later, after Reggie accidentally shoots Diana Garcia, while under the influence, Albi tells Kosta that he wants to take over the job. Meanwhile, Kosta tells Albi that Edmund Ross is making a deal with the police and Kosta wants Ross to be killed before he gets in front of a grand jury. Kosta wants to assure that there will be no more mistakes and Albi gives him his word. (OC: "Unforgivable")

When Stabler arrived at the gym, Albi and Kosta questioned him about where Reggie was. After testing them, Albi ordered Stabler to murder Reggie but Stabler recorded the entire conversation and played it to Reggie. Later, Violet Brooks approached Albi and Kosta in the gym telling them that Agniezjka offered her $50,000 from the organization. However, after she met with Albi and Kosta, Albi then shot her in the back and they packed up and left. (OC: "High Planes Grifter")

### Arrest

While on the run from the police, Albi breaks into a house using an American flagpole and watches himself on the news while eating a banana. Albi is then caught by a kid and points a gun at him. When the kid runs away, Albi holds him hostage and ties him up. However, Albi doesn't kill him because he is Albanian. Albi then calls Flutura and says that he has planned to run away with her and start a new life in the Dominican Republic. After Flutura was arrested, Albi uses his boyfriend, Kevin, as a second choice and plans to run away with him instead. Kevin claims that he doesn't want to be Albi's second choice but Albi says that he doesn't want to hear it and tells him to shut up. Later, after being caught by the police, Albi takes Kevin hostage on the boat and asks to speak with Flutura. Albi then asks Stabler if she knows about him being gay but Stabler tells Bell to leave and takes the earpiece out and claims that he has kept that promise and hasn't told anybody. Flutura is brought in and she talks Albi out of killing Kevin. Flutura then hugs Albi and they are both arrested. (OC: "Ashes to Ashes")
