Character from Azarinth Healer by Rhaegar
A political operator who moves through the Empire's shadows — the man who entrusted Cless to Ilea and whose connections reach further than anyone is comfortable with.
Albert is the man who knows people who know things. He operates in the spaces between Shadow's Hand, the Empire of Lys, and whatever other factions need a discreet intermediary. He entrusted Cless — a child from Earth — to Ilea, which tells you either that he trusted Ilea's character or that he had no better options. Possibly both. He's a friend of Maro's, which means he has connections spanning centuries. He navigates political waters with the ease of someone who has been swimming in them his entire career. He's useful, reliable within his own code of ethics, and precisely as trustworthy as the current alignment of interests allows.
Unremarkable by design — the kind of man who can walk through a crowd and be forgotten, which is exactly the point. Dresses well enough to attend noble functions and plainly enough to disappear afterward.
