He used the Émigré Manuscript to attain semi-eternal life, like Roger Bacon before him, but unlike Roger, Albert seemed to be skilled enough to halt the aging process as well Then he gave the Émigré document to Patrick to use on Elaine, Patrick ended up bringing back his wife's body but not her soul and was killed by the undead abomination, after which Albert took back the book. Albert however decided to test out the books first.

Seemingly to both repay Patrick's kindness and test out his own applications of the books, Albert agreed to steal the Émigré Manuscript for Patrick and while he was there took the other two books as well The Pulse Tract and the Codex of R'lyeh, each of which had power to warp the fabric of the universe. The Émigré Manuscript was one of them, a book with power over death and time. Hearing of his plight a thought occurred to Albert he knew of three ancient arcane tomes housed in the Vatican that his mentor, Roger Bacon, had translated/reconstructed there for the Church. While staying at the estate Albert got to know his host, and learned Patrick had just lost his wife Elaine, commenting he would give anything to see her again. Albert had been wondering through the Welsh country side, and one cold night came upon manor owned by Patrick Heyworth, Patrick saw Albert as a weary traveler and offered him a place to stay. It is unclear if this was due to Amon's influence or just Albert's state of mind by then.Īround the year 1890 or so, Albert would come upon a man named Patrick Heyworth and set in motion the events that make up the video game Koudelka. Though after the merger with Amon, Albert never became possessed by the demon, he did become somewhat unhinged. He opted to beat Rasputin at his own game and made a pact with the god of wrath, Amon. Albert was crushed by this second exploitation of his willingness to see the good in people. Albert and Jovis resolved to beat him but were not strong enough and Rasputin cast them out of the order and inserted himself as it's new leader. Rasputin used his training to form a demonic pact with the king of demons, Asmodeus. But once Rasputin learned what he needed, he showed his true colors as an opportunist and megalomaniac. Showing diligence, Jovis and Albert took him on as a disciple, teaching him will-power and various divine rites.

One day a young acolyte named Grigori Rasputin came to join the order. The two became good friends and did what they could in their small corner of the world to tear down racial, societal and religious prejudice. Jovis was going to do missionary work in Turkey and was forming an order there he called “ Sapientes Gladio”. Īfter Albert's release, he joined a priest of the Greek-Orthodox-Church named Jovis Abraham.

The years changed Albert and he became a far more cynical person especially with regards to the church. Albert was locked away for years before his release. But it was Albert who the church condemned as a heretic for questioning “divine right” in the first place. When Bacon attempted to moderate Albert's views and encouraged him to let the world be as it was for the time Albert lost faith in Roger and went to the Vatican to charge Roger with heresy for his tolerance of the corrupt. But in time Albert began to question the “divine right” of the ruling class aristocrats to manipulate, sacrifice, and generally mistreat the masses. Albert had the makings of a great civil-rights leader and Bacon looked forward with great eagerness to the world Albert would help forge. Roger saw great things in Albert and took him under his wing to teach him law, philosophy, science, astronomy and alchemy.
