Biography
Early life and University
Albert describes his life as "quite ordinary," growing up as an only child. His parents had been busy people, due to both of them being famous figures in the medical field. Albert would attend RMU to study Marine Biology, in which he would get a PhD in. From there he would meet Vincent Edgeworth, who would become his arch-enemy, due to the fact that Albert went on to become the best student there, while Vincent remained the second best student below him.
Work
Albert took on the role of the CEO of the Krueger Health Solutions Corporation after the death of his father, who had founded the corporation and is presumed as having been the previous CEO. At his corporation, Albert also seems to be taking on the role of a therapist himself, even though his PhD is in Marine Biology. It is unclear if he has had any other working experience.
Personality
Albert is a sadistic murderer, as shown through his demeanor throughout the game. He is shown to be an incredibly off-putting and suspicious man, even when it is obvious that what he is saying is not the truth, such as when Taylor sees that there is a drawing of Vincent on one of the cards, or when they hear the scream in the hallway. However, he is also shown to be quite lonely.
