Father Albert

Father Albert Wood was an English priest, born in the late 17th Century to a middle-class family. Young Albert was good at memorizing verses and had a pleasant voice, so he was marked out for a career in the Anglican priesthood.

Despite his priestly career, Albert was a highly vivacious personality, indulging in all the pleasures offered by the seedy institutions of his era, but he especially preferred overindulging on food and drink. The act that finally damned his soul occurred when at one night, he returned home drunken after an evening of debauchery, much to the consternation of his wife. Albert, as usual, ignored her and moved to ransack the kitchen. When her wife attempted to stop him, Albert stuck the woman with a Bible on the head, killing her.

After devouring the few food items still in his home, the drunk Albert felt an inexplicable desire to taste his wife. He did so, consuming a good portion of the dead woman then-and-there. This act of darkness attracted a demon of gluttony, in service to Abaddon, who immediately took residence in the priest's stomach, corrupting and possessing him.

After a few years of rampaging, Albert was found by Dr. Friedrich Magnussen, who inducted the priest into his Cabal. Ever since then, Albert served as a devout agent of Abaddon.

Father Albert arrived to Portsmouth in 1874, where the Cabal gathered to summon their infernal master. However, the Cabal's plans were distorted by an Abyssal incursion that took over their operations, corrupting Albert in the process. At the final confrontation between the Cabal and the Krewe, Albert killed himself to empower the Abyssal-tainted Hector Pendleton.
