Albrecht

Albrecht is an elderly man living in Mistvale. After the fall of the Arcanum, he helped hide his best friend, Gillenheim, in his basement. After getting sold out by the rest of the town, Albrecht was punished by the Null-Magi by being sliced across his face and left for dead inside his house as it was put on fire. With the help of Lennox Grover and a few other townsfolk, Albrecht was dragged out of the burning building and nursed back to health.

Unable to forgive the town for what they had done, Albrecht sought out some of Gillenheim's old books that had survived the fire. Using old necromantic rituals found in "Mortimer’s Grimoire of Soul Magic: A Qualitative Study on Retaining and Keeping Souls by Karl Mortimer", Albrecht brought Gillenheim back from the dead and creating the abnormally thick mist surrounding the town and preventing the townsfolk from leaving Mistvale for a whole month each year.
