Albert

Albert (アルベルト) is Adalman's trusted friend and acolyte since his former days as a cardinal for the Church. His skill with the sword is on par with Hakurou's, if not better. He is the vanguard of the 70th floor of Ramiris' Labyrinth.

Appearance
Unlike Adalman who has an appreciation for his bony body, Albert still has a lingering attachment to his former human appearance, hence he reconstructed it with magicules. He has the appearance of a youthful man.

Personality
Even after he become an undead, he continued to remain loyal to his friend and stood by his side, guarding Clayman's domain together with him for a millennium. He holds the same fanatic devotion Adalman has to Rimuru.

Background
Due to his talent, Albert was extended an invitation to join the Pope's Imperial Guard which had just been formed at the time, but he declined it as his loyalty was to Adalman rather than the Pope. He accompanied Adalman to the far edge of the Jura Forest and was died during the battle against a Death Dragon and its forces. He was subsequently revived as an Undead and had been bound to the land since.

After Shuna defeated Adalman and his forces, they were generously taken in by Rimuru and placed inside the Sealed Cave, but were relocated to the labyrinth after its completion. Albert had temporarily devolved into a skeleton swordsman, but with the abundant magicules in the labyrinth, he was easily able to regain his former strength and evolved to an even higher level of Undead -- a Death Paladin. He guards the 70th floor of the labyrinth alongside Adalman and the Death Dragon.
