PHYSICAL DESCRIPTION:
Limber, strong-built, and of moderate height, Albion has without a doubt adapted to his surroundings. Acclimated to warm summer days and long hours of manual labor, he sports a perpetual tan and a faint smell of gasoline. Choppy reaches of dusty blonde hair dangle at eye-level and scarcely hide his ears, and his dark eyes are more often than not framed by even darker glasses. If Albion is without his glasses, chances are he’s been servicing one of his vehicles.
Susceptible to sweating if he dresses too generously, Albion keeps strictly to t-shirts from mid-spring to late fall. But his tan complexion isn't only brought upon by sun exposure; even the areas that his clothes hide have a naturally tawny tone to them. Against the bronzed backdrop of his skin, Albion’s usually hidden set of scars is all the more apparent. A splinted, pallid stripe traces just below his ribs, and another blazes the span of his lower flank. Albion is very conscious of both sizable scars, becoming defensive if either of them are touched directly.

PERSONALITY:
Albion is a fairly simple criminal specimen, working under anyone who can provide him with fair pay. He doesn't require much in order to be satisfied; he takes what he needs and rarely more. He also rarely asks for favors as he hates being in debt. Subsequently, he takes his work very seriously. He puts real effort into fulfilling his end of deals so long as his partners show the same forthrightness. Uncomfortable with occupying positions of leadership, Albion is more productive as an equal or a consultant. He'll also settle for mid-subordinate positions because they draw relatively little attention.
He's learned to be clever due to his upbringing, but dishonesty is far from inherent to Albion. He is, however, inherently unassertive. He has difficulty braving threats and withstanding pressure, but with the right bribe, he can work under a great deal of stress without losing his nerve. Because of this "gift" he is frequently recruited to play stress-laden roles. Of course, were it up to Albion, he would choose to spend his days toying with the various cars he's collected, or maybe talking to a certain someone with the company of a few beers.

HISTORY:
Abducted at a young age to provide resources for the organ blackmarket, Albion was raised to be hardy and resilient. Fresh and healthy organs can only be harvested from fresh and healthy sources, so Albion was well-fed, well-exercised, and well-taught. He was also well-socialized and had many friends, all of whom had been kidnapped for the same illicit purpose of being "collected" from. Although he was not allowed outdoors, Albion found ways to entertain himself, spending hours inside playing games with his best friend at the time.
It was not until he was about 14 that he recognized his calling as an engineer. He became the resident mechanic among his friends, repairing whatever needed fixing and occasionally making the odd gadget out of spare pieces. Shortly after he had figured out his knack for machinery, Albion and the organization holding him were accidentally disturbed by a group performing a test drug bust.
