“	I'll show you true darkness...	„
	~ Before using Eye Slash

Summary

Albus is the third boss of Primrose's story and a member of the Obsidians. He bares the mark of the crow on his right arm. He was a former captain of Noblecourt's city watch and was thought to be an honored right hand servant of Geoffrey Azelhart. He was initially thought to be a murdered victim of the Obsidians despite actually being one in reality. He seized power of the house of Azelhart after the assassination of the previous lord. He is later confronted by an adult Primrose, who then defeats him in battle and left to die. After his death, the true leader of the Obsidians is later revealed much to Primrose's surprise.
