Background
Albert de Mauvais is a scholar from Dementlieu, born sometime during its False History.
Together with his brother, Giles de Mauvais, Albert purchased the still-living body of a victim of a Red Widow attack in 709 BC. Rather than try to save the victim, Albert kept the man in his laboratory, creating ideal conditions for the eggs to hatch. Once they did, however, Albert conducted a series of experiments on the hatchlings that were hideously cruel even considering their nature.
At a given point in time, one of the hatchlings started to demonstrate a capacity for arcane magic. Instead of studying the creature's natural development, Albert decided to dissect its brain in an attempt to gain a scholarly understanding of magic. He was knocked unconscious by his brother Giles before he could sedate the hatchling, and by the time he came to both his brother and the precious specimen had disappeared, leaving Albert only with the remaining and decidedly magic-less specimens still in his possession.
Current sketch
Today, Albert is known to have published several obscure texts on inhuman anatomy and biology, suggesting that he continued experimenting on non-humans even after he had finally killed off the brood of Red Widows.
Given that Albert was an active adult in 709 BC, it is likely that he is presently either dead or extremely old.
