Whilst studying to be a lawyer, Albert was invited by some members of his cohort to join them on a camping expedition in the woods near the town of Four Pines. Several nights into the trip, Albert vaguely remembers being attacked by something, only to wake up the next morning to find the campsite destroyed, his friends torn to pieces and he himself covered in blood, none of his own. Fearing the worst, he fled the scene and made his way back to the City as quickly as he could.
 
He quickly discovered that he now had a Hunger to Consume the World, and nothing could sate it, no matter what he tried. Unable to face the friends and families of the others he went camping with, he dropped out of university and took up a job at the Nautilus as a Steak Chef, where Meat's on the Menu. But he soon learned that, no matter how hard he tried, You Can't Keep a Bad Wolf Down and he found himself On the Hunt for Adventure.
 
On more than one occasion Albert has come across certain people that smelt different to others, insomuch as he was drawn to them with a deeper, craving hunger. One such person was Elsa Radcliff, a young girl working at the Christian Ladies Home in Glenmoore. On the handful of occasions he met her, Albert was barely able to contain his hunger.
 
Albert later learned that Edward Roberts also survived the events of the camping trip, and had joined Helix Labs as a member of their Field Response Unit. Upon returning to Four Pines with the crew, Albert discovered that a group posing as 'Government Agents' had found the campsite, taken Ward's body, and burned the rest.
 
Now with his focus back on the events of that trip, the Wolf was out and The Hunt is On.
