Albert Schwartzkaiser

**Albert Schwartzkaiser** is a Master currently associated with the Kingdom of Altar and a member of Death Period. He was formerly associated with Caldina, where he was ranked 2nd in their duel rankings and was formerly a member of Sefirot.

## Appearance

Albert has an extremely muscular body and wears a leather jacket and leather pants, along with sunglasses. He is noted to have a rather forbidding face.

## Personality

Albert has a sportsman like attitude, offering a handshake to his opponents before each match. He has great pride in his firepower and sense of mind to use it responsibly. Because of the irregular nature of his birth, Albert is uncomfortable with speaking and prefers to remain silent if possible.

## History

Albert came into existence as a mutated artificial intelligence, created by an illegal organization. He was scheduled to be disposed of when the daughter of the Mukudori family saved him and his creator on behalf of the German government. At that point, his creator gave him the name Albert Schwartzkaiser.

After this, Albert and his mother began working at a German government facility. When *Infinite Dendrogram* was released, Albert's mother became interested in the mysteries behind the game, but unwilling to try and hack the game's system after a major American gaming company tried that and collapsed after their confidential information, including records of their industrial espionage were released and forbidden to officially investigate after her superiors forbade her, asked Albert to play the game normally to see what it was about.

Albert began playing *Infinite Dendrogram,* being welcomed by Jabberwock , and rose to become a Superior, joining the clan Sefirot some time after that.

## Abilities

### Embryo

**Seven Star Turnover, Septentrion** (七星転身　セプテントリオン): A Form VII Type Body Embryo that transforms Albert's body into a humanoid machine. It gives Albert a negative status correction for all his stats, particularly END.

* **Dubhe** (α星): A skill that restores Albert's HP to its full value, negates any status effects he had prior, gives him near-complete resistance to the type of attack used to damage him, and allows him to deal damage to his opponent regardless of what resistances or defensive skills they have. This skill can only be used when Albert's HP is at 1. Albert can use this skill even if the damage was self-inflicted.
* **Merak** (β星): A skill with the same effect as **Dubhe**. It can only be used after **Dubhe** is activated.
* **Phecda** (γ星): A skill with the same effect as **Merak**. It can only be used after **Merak** is activated.
* **Megrez** (δ星): A skill with the same effect as **Phecda**. It can only be used after **Phecda** is activated.
* **Alioth** (ε星): A skill with the same effect as **Megrez**. It can only be used after **Megrez** is activated.
* **Mizar** (ζ星): A skill with the same effect as **Alioth**. It can only be used after **Alioth** is activated.
* **Alkoid** (η星): A skill with the same effect as **Mizar**. It can only be used after **Mizar** is activated.
* **Alcor** (g星): An active skill that allows Albert to detach the **core**(頭脳核, lit.*brain nucleus*) from the main body of Septentrion. The core takes the form of a floating metal ball the same size of a golf ball and houses Albert's main consciousness as well as represents his last HP point. This allows Albert to activate Septentrion's skills even in situations where he would not be able to normally, such as when the main body is totally destroyed or he is Frozen or Petrified. Albert typically uses items to conceal Alcor visually or from the use of skills. The core retains all the resistances acquired by Septentrions's skills, even when the ultimate skill is used. However, if the core is destroyed, Albert will receive the death penalty, regardless of how much HP he has left.
* **The Seven Stars — Septentrion**(七星セプテントリオン): The ultimate skill of Septentrion. It can only be activated after **Alkoid** is used. Albert can divide into seven bodies, each of which can use one of the resistances acquired by Septentrion's skills. In addition, each body can also use the methods of attack Albert gained to deal damage to his opponent, regardless of what resistances or defensive skills they have. When this skill is activated, MP and SP are shared between the seven bodies, but each body retains the same HP.
	+ **Pentagram** (滅びの星ペンタグラム): Albert's final trump card. Two of the seven copies created by his ultimate skill restrains the target while the other five copies destroys the target and the copies restraining it with their maximum firepower.

### Jobs

**King of Termination** (殲滅王キング・オブ・ターミネーター): A Superior Job focusing on pursuing enemies and killing them. Its stat growth focuses on HP and STR, then END. It possesses only three characteristic active skills, including its final mystery.

* **Countdown Radar** (カウントダウン・レーダー): An active skill that allows Albert to select a race of a monster that he has killed and know the positions of all monsters from the race in the vicinity.
* **Scar Marking** (スカー・マーキング): An active skill that allows Albert to know the present position and status of an enemy he has damaged.
* **Unnamed Skill**: The ultimate skill of the King of Terminator. It is a skill for fighting monsters derived from **Countdown Radar**. It shows little effect in battles with humans.

**Rear Soldier** (殿兵リア・ソルジャー): A low rank job from the soldier grouping. In Albert's case, he keeps this job as a method to disguise the existence of **Alcor**.

* **Last Stand** (ラスト・スタンド): A passive skill that allows the user to survive with at least 1 HP for 5 seconds even if they receive a fatal attack. However, the skill only allows the user to have 1 HP, therefore, if the user's present condition from physical and abnormal statuses is not negated, the user will just suffer even during and after those 5 seconds. This skill also immobilizes the user for 5 seconds while the skill is active and has a cooldown of 5 seconds after activating. Due to the effect of **Alcor**, Albert does not actually use **Last Stand** and cannot even use it whenever **Alcor** is active.
