Of the two Wolff brothers, Albrecht has the taller, more broad build. He stands at a grand six feet, five inches and weighs a bit over two hundred pounds. His hair is kept short and pushed back with product, revealing an expressive forehead. His facial hair is often grown out slightly, giving him a more rugged appearance, but he keeps it shaped well. Al's eyes are a deep, sad blue, and they are framed by prominent eyebrows that he likes to wiggle in expression. In terms of scars, he bears a fair amount of claw and bite marks that have stayed with him into adulthood. His most noticeable scar is a thin claw mark that rests dangerously close to his eye.
Some wrinkles have begun to form, cornering his mouth and eyes, but they only make him look more mature and apt for life as a lawyer. Besides these, however, he has retained his youthful, athletic appearance throughout school. He dresses well, often choosing a pair of jeans with a dress shirt or a nicer t-shirt.
ＰＥＲＳＯＮＡＬＩＴＹ
Before leaving Bellingstone for college, it was Albrecht who took on the role of the responsible older brother with a sense of duty. He was a natural leader from birth, gifted with a sort of infectious charm that is found in a country boy. Having tasted freedom, however, Al has little desire to return to what he once had.
It's ironic, however, given the fact that Al is so insecure in terms of personal relationships. He may come off as far more easy-going and laid back, but he still worries about never finding someone to love when he can hardly commit himself to the group he grew up with his entire life. As much as he still hates the commitment of the pack, he realizes he needs something like it as a stable force in his life and sees his candidacy in a mayoral election as a way to solidify his reappointment as Alpha male.
He still has the same charm about him, but it has mutated into something more arrogant and city-like. Al is fast-moving and always itching to do new things and push the bounds of his personal freedom. He is quick to grow jealous and protective, even if he actually can't find a valid claim for something he is fighting over. Despite his easy-going nature, he is also far more aggressive than he seems to be, likely a result of personal insecurity.
ＬＩＫＥＳ
✔ The Water - He's a talented fisher and boater, having spent most of his childhood on the lake outside of Bellingstone
✔ Sports - An active man all of his life, Al is never one to back down from a good game of football or really any other sport
✔ Independence - In the sense of being able to choose his own path, not necessarily in forsaking other beings
✔ Socialization - He's one of those people who claims social interaction is a basic human need
✔ Sparring - Though he acts as though he has mellowed with age, Albrecht still has a love for mock-fights and shows of strength
ＤＩＳＬＩＫＥＳ
✖ Shoes - Albrecht finds them constricting and is often found barefoot around his home
✖ Cooking - He's always hated cooking as it seems tedious to him - he also harbors a slight fear of the stovetop
✖ Lies - Quite the hypocrite, he hates those who lie to further themselves when he, in turn, only left Bellingstone on the back of a lie
✖ Being Wrong - He's quick to grow defensive and even belligerent when proved wrong
✖ Bugs - They're a pain, and they tend to get stuck in fur

☠ Being unable to find a pack

ＢＩＯＧＲＡＰＨＹ
Albrecht's life was set out for him long before he was born. As the eldest of Richard and Laura Wolff, he was destined to be the pack's Alpha male before he could even walk or talk. His childhood was an easy one in which he was doted upon by much of the townsfolk, especially the pack. This attention only worked to inflate his growing self-confidence, grooming him for a position that would require self-assurance in an abundance.
By the time Axel was born, Al was already establishing himself as a dominant force in play groups. Aggressive from a young age, he often used his height as an intimidation factor. His baby brother stealing the spot light from him only spurred him to establish himself as a force to be reckoned with. Though he showed a responsible, level-headed facade on the surface, he was still a Wolff boy, and he channeled frustration in growing resentment and aggression. In the end, it only pushed Al to transform himself into a golden boy, the apple of his father's eye. So consumed with maintaining his reputation was he that he allowed his relationship with his own brother to falter into disrepair from an early age.
Al excelled in school, proving to be just as quick-witted as he was charismatic. He knew, of course, that he would have to lead the pack one day, but he was instilled with dreams of skipping town and making something more of himself from a young age. They were dreams he kept to himself, letting them fester silently as he fought to live up to everyone's expectations. And so, he buried these intrusive thoughts in the back of his mind, waiting for a time when he could finally act on them.
In the mean time, he had become utterly distracted by the new girl in town. He was somewhere in his late teens when Sydney Green first arrived in Bellingstone, and he knew from quite early on that she had to be the one. After days of gazing at her in passing, he finally approached her, asking her on a date. From there, they took of, hardly looking back - their sudden infatuation became the talk of the town, and the two lovebirds spent nearly every waking moment together. Their relationship culminated in him proposing to her.
The wedding planning was a rush - his parents and her parents getting everything together as quickly as possible for the two lovebirds. A shame that all of their plans would end up going to waste. In either the most extreme case of pre-wedding jitters or an early-onset mid-life crisis, Albrecht was suddenly reminded of hid childhood dreams to leave the small town and attend college. Already twenty-nine, he felt as though his life had slipped past him all too quickly. And so, the night before his wedding, he took a much as he could carry - including half of his parents savings - and skipped town without a word.
He made his way to California, and he pushed himself through college and law school on a combination of multiple jobs and the money he had stolen. Picking up extra credits here or there, he made it through in about six years. Along the way, he attempted to join multiple packs, but he failed to find his niche, often picking fights with the current alpha males as he struggled to adjust to being a lone wolf. In fact, the scar near his eye is the doing of an angry alpha.
At the end of his studies, Al returned to Pennsylvania, practicing law for a while in Pittsburgh as he began to house-shop in his hometown. Eventually, he found a suitable Victorian-style home along the town's main street and decided to move in. He has only been in town for two days now, but the town is stirring with whispers of Albrecht Wolff's return. Something of a prodigal son figure, he has decided to ride it out and use it to fuel his campaign for mayor, figuring it is the best way to prove himself to the pack and to the citizens of Bellingstone.
