Albert (Remake)

## Albert

"*And what do you plan on doing, huh? **You gonna kill me?** Because my guys will kill **you** before my body even goes **cold**. And then what? Who do you think the commander will believe? His soldiers? Or some crazy **nobody** with a death wish?*"
—Albert threatens Henry despite the knife to his throat[src]

**Albert** is an antagonist and a survivor of the outbreak in *Strain Zero*. He is the leader of his group and later a sergeant of Delta Force. Years after first meeting him in the forest, Albert encountered Henry at Greencole and invited him to the base on the Commander's behalf, later becoming Henry's squad leader when the Pioneers were absorbed into D.F.'s network. He serves as the secondary antagonist of *Season 5: Remake*.

## Overview

### Personality & Traits

Albert holds great loyalty to his small group, who see him as a trustworthy leader. However, Albert appears to care little for survivors outside of his own group, not even displaying any particular hatred for the bandits that held both him and his group captive for slave labour. He sees others survivors as means to an end, willing to betray Henry despite all his efforts to free Albert and his group from the bandits, and only backed down when one of his own asked him to.

Six years later, now a high-ranking member of Delta Force, Albert has fully adapted to the life of a soldier. He deeply respects the Commander and fervently believes in Delta Force's purpose of restoring some semblance of civilization, so much so that he is willing to commit numerous atrocities behind the Commander's back in order to advance Delta Force in any way; his actions have gone as far as deliberately poisoning several people, including the Frontiersmen leader Ajax, in order to convince Fairbanks to join the network thereby granting Delta Force a surplus of fresh crops. When his actions are uncovered by Henry he remains steadfast, cold and unmoved despite the knife to his throat, knowing that his position within Delta Force grants him effective impunity.

## Post-Apocalypse

### Season 3: Remake

#### "Same Stitch"

Albert and Cara, the sole remaining members of their group, come across a large group of soldiers at an abandoned radar base. They are brought before "The Commander", who offers them a place in "Delta Force".

## Death

### Killed by:

* Henry Edwards

At the end of his chase, Henry drives through the wall of the radar station, hitting Albert and pinning him against the control console. As Albert spits out some final taunts, a dazed and injured Henry executes him with a single shot to the head.

## Killed Victims

* Ajax *(caused)* - laced crops with carbofuran
* Gideon *(caused)* - executed by hanging
* One unnamed bandit
* Several unnamed Fairbanks residents *(caused)* - poisoned with carbofuran
* Several unnamed Frontiersmen *(caused)* - poisoned with carbofuran

## Relationships

### Cara

Albert appears to have a close friendship with Cara, valuing her opinion on several occasions. Although he intended to rob Henry, it was Cara who successfully talked him down.

### Henry Edwards

"*Do you...have **any idea**...what you've started?"
"I know what I've **finished**,*"
—Albert and Henry's last exchange[src]
Albert and Henry had a neutral relationship, born from a brief alliance between Henry and Albert's group in order to escape from the bandits. Albert honoured his word in helping Henry escape the camp in exchange for Henry setting Albert and his group free. However, their relationship briefly turned hostile when Albert attempted to rob Henry during their escape, but returned to neutral when Albert eventually refused to do so.
