Game[]
As the grandson of the legendary Leon Silverberg and an inheritor of the Silverberg legacy, Albert was raised to become a military strategist. He studied at Crystal Valley, where he was renowned because of his consistent status as the best student. He had met his grandfather in the past, and viewed him as an example of a great strategist. However, he wanted to be recognized for his own achievements, as opposed to be recognized as merely a Silverburg. When he met Luc in one of the numerous libraries in Crystal Valley, it was this ambition that led him to suggest to Luc that he should become a bishop in the Circle Palace and gain the Elemental True Runes.
When Luc agreed, Albert then summoned Yuber using the method Leon Silverberg had used during the Dunan Unification War. He, Luc, Sarah and Yuber called themselves the ‘Destroyers’ and cast mayhem throughout the Grasslands, starting the Second Fire Bringer War. The young strategist managed to fan the flames of war between the Grasslands, the Zexen Confederacy, the Holy Kingdom of Harmonia and the Tinto Republic. However, as Luc's plans appeared to be nearing fruition, Albert made a surprising move in covertly conspiring with Nash Latkje to betray Luc by revealing his plans to Hugo with Nash as the messenger.
He and Caesar had a reunion at the Ceremonial Site, where he admitted that he started the whole war purely for his own benefit, specifically to gain greater recognition as a strategist. Following the war, he was said to have gained a position as a leading strategist in a powerful nation on the Western Continent. The nation was believed to be Zelant, although this hasn't been confirmed.
