Albus Scorone

**Albus Scorone**, alias **Percival Mason**, is a recurring NPC from Gravity Star. He is a changeling spy first seen on Metran that was best known for double-crossing Octus and being forced to adopt Larry the Cucumber.

## Personality

Albus is a snarky, conniving man, knowing how to get what he wants, even through illicit means, but despite this he has a very brave heart. Whether this is courage or stupidity is unknown.

## History

### Gravity Star Campaign

Albus was first seen after he had double-crossed Octus and stole crucial information from him after infiltrating his ranks, intending to sell it. This angered Octus and caused him to send a search party to Metran to find him, including the aptly-named Searcher. Gravity Star went after him to try and save him from Octus and get the information for themselves, but due to searching for his alias, Percival Mason, he thought he was with them. When they found him, he was visibly shaken and frightened, but once the team explained their origins and intentions, he calmed. After taking the drive out of his cybernetic arm and trying to sell it to Gravity Star, the Searcher landed next to Albus, grabbed him and tore his cybernetic arm off before flying back to the jailer ship.

The team soon ascended to the jail ship and broke him out, but also broke out a few other prisoners in the process. Albus was almost attacked by a pink cyclops prisoner, but was saved by a purple tiefling prisoner before watching him get killed by the Searcher. The Searcher ordered Albus to get back into his cell before Albus, the team, and the remaining other prisoners led an assault against him. Once the Searcher was defeated, Albus went back with the team, but told them that he couldn't make a new drive for them unless they got his arm repaired by the man who made it, Plated Pete. The team went to Omnibius to get it fixed, but Albus stayed behind, knowing that he had stolen it and did not want to show his face around Pete. After he got it fixed, he held up his promise, but wanted to remain on Earth instead of going back to Metran, wanting to "run away from his past". They allowed him, but not before Moe chucked Larry the Cucumber out of Stardust One for Albus to keep, much against 086's wishes.

In between this point and the return to Earth, Albus was begrudgingly stuck with Larry and did not particularly like him much, but viewed him as a friend anyway.

Albus was not seen again until the team returned to Earth to answer the S.O.S. signal from Moto, after which Albus had not only survived the Annihilator's first assault, but had been inducted as a new member of Gravity Star, after his initial refusal weeks before. He gave Larry back to 086, much to her delight. Albus did not assist in the fight against the Annihilator, due to not having the proper equipment to do so, but did leave with the team after the Annihilator began its meltdown. In addition, he assisted in the fights against the Siren, Octus and the Exalted, but did not do much of note in any of those scenarios.

Albus moved to Omnibius with the others when they searched for a new home after Earth's destruction.
