## Appearances

### Debut

GK Delta: Deploy

Albert VII is a member of GK Delta and, since Bomber's defection, the squad's third highest-ranking member. He's regarded as the class clown of the team and provides many of the story's comic relief and wisecracks.

## History

Albert VII was created by Dr. Kim Mera in the fourth iteration of the Generation Kymera Program, Delta. His smaller size, agility, and prehensile feet and tail tend to have him delegated the team scout.

### Early Life

After the first three iterations of Generation Kymera, concerns over disloyalty and psychological development arose with both military command and Dr. Mera. In an both an attempt to avoid this going forward, and as a psychological experiment, as the GK Delta phase was enacted, each hybrid-human was to be released into the wild at an early age. While being secretly monitored by agents of the Generation Kymera program, they'd be free to develop outside the confines of a military base and believe themselves to be freaks of nature.

At a young age, Albert VII was placed with an obscure Oklahoma travelling circus. Albert VII was added to its freak-show and billed as "Jojo the Horned Monkey Baby." Before getting the chance to work his way up to Rodeo Clown, he was brought back to Naval Base San Nicolas Island.

### GK Delta

Ever the performer, Albert VII routinely breaks protocols to go online to upload his videos to HooTube and ClikClok. Of all the Deltas, Albert VII exhibits the least ambition and military initiative.

### Operation: Kid Gloves

Main article: Black Ops

Prior to the commencement of Operation: Kid Gloves, Albert VII plays a practical joke on Daart, which unknown to them at the time, ends up saving the whole team during the mission.

In the short story, *Black Ops*, Albert VII sets up a fake website designed to look like the site of the manufacturer of Daart's interactive Iron Stomach action figure. The legitimate appearance of the site and the new features it touts for his action figure convince Daart to install new firmware to his action figure. The firmware change causes the toy to jam radio frequencies and play a recording of Albert VII mocking Daart on all of the naval base's audio equipment.

Albert VII is also the character sent to infiltrate an indie television station. He does so by donning a helmet, to disguise his horns, and a purple jersey in order to look like a Minnesota Vikings fan.

The hacked Iron Stomach figure comes in handy when V.Y.R.U.S. utilizes radio frequencies to implement a mind control scheme. Daart, accepting humiliation to save his team, plays the recording causing a momentary pause in the V.Y.R.U.S.'s equipment.

## Relationship with GK Delta Other Members

Albert VII is the class clown of GK Delta.

In spite of his respect for El Ray, Albert VII regards him as a bit of a stick in the mud. By the point the Alter Nation series launches, it's clear El Ray is too keen an observer to be on the receiving end of one of Albert VII's whoopee cushions, to the latter's dismay.

Albert VII and Quillroy share a brotherly relationship. They often tease Daart with pranks and practical jokes. In Quillroy's case, it's a way to toughen Daart up, with Albert VII, he simply likes having an easy mark.

## Trivia

Albert VII's name comes from Albert I through Albert VI, the monkeys and apes NASA used in test flights early on in America's space exploration!
