As a child, Albert showed a strong passion for the ocean, and by the time he was thirteen, he was very skilled at sailing. He would run down to the local lake every day after school to enjoy what he loved most. Townsfolk would often watch him sail but there were rumors among all of them that Albert's obsession with the sea would one day lead him to his death.
When he was 24, he joined the Royal Navy. At some point during his enlistment, his ship was assaulted by pirates, who promptly murdered his captain. Albert devised a method of igniting the rum on the pirates' ship with a harpoon, and in the ensuing chaos, the pirates retreated. Although they had lost their captain, the crew was saved by Albert's heroic actions and quick thinking.
Later in life, between 40 and 50, Albert was captain of his own ship, The Sea Slater, when he encountered a giant walrus. It is said to have been one hundred stories tall, or 400 meters. Despite the giant's enormous size, the walrus was docile and ill, presenting its massive tusk to Albert, which he soon discovered was in decay. Albert swung his anchor around the tusk and although it took many hours, the tooth was out by the end of the day. Legend says that the walrus proceeded to sing Albert's praises, all the while foretelling his doom.
That doom came one stormy night when Albert was an aged man. His ship was struck and decimated by lightning, and Albert drowned to the eerie song of the sea animals in a whirlpool created by a magnificent octopus. It is said that Albert died with no regrets, having dedicated his life to his love of the ocean.
