~Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie
Race: Werewolf
Gender: Male
Age: Thirty-eight
Nicknames: His name, Albrecht, doesn't really allow for many nicknames besides Al, which he's been called playfully on many accounts. He prefers using it in formal situations unless he wishes to really stand out, due to how abstract the name Albrecht is. His middle name is Felix but he doesn't really use it as a nickname or anything.
Occupation: Currently unemployed, but he's worked as a lawyer for quite a while and built up a decent amount of money
Pack/Coven Name: He's a loner as of now, having not approached his old pack and having been kicked out of a pack he joined after college.
Rank in Pack/Coven: N/A
Height: Six feet, one inch
Weight: One hundred, seventy pounds
Build: Like his brother, Albrecht is muscular and well-built. If anything, he is slightly larger than Axel.
Hair Color: Dark chocolate brown so that it appears black in most lighting
Eye Color: Mocha brown with some hazel
Scars?: Albrecht bears the normal smattering of of scars and lacerations most male werewolves have. As a pup, he was always a rough fighter and stood up to his elders without a fear. For these reasons, he bears many more scars than his little brother. As for his most noticable scars, four claw marks mar his pectorals, obviously from a werewolf, and also bears numerous bite marks and one scratch dangerously close to his eye. The bite marks and claw marks were received after he left town to attend college. The latter was given to him after flirting with a male wolf's mate in a bar.
Brief Written Description: Standing just a mere inch above his little brother, Axel, Albrecht bears basically the same build as Axel. Compared to Axel, he is still larger and more intimidating. His hair looks just about black most of the time, especially because he slicks it back slightly with either hair gel or water. His hairline is receding slightly but this is due to a mixture of age and stress he's experienced. Albrecht's eyes are a darker brown than Axel's eyes, which are a light hazel-like color. Whereas Axel inherited their father's eyes, Albrecht inherited their mother's eyes. His flesh is also tanned very well from sun exposure and an athletic life. A few wrinkles have begun to form around his eyes, also due to age and stress. Other than that, he retains a youthful, attractive appearance. His cheekbones are at an average position, but his cheeks are sunken slightly, giving his face a more chiseled shape. Also unlike his brother, he tends to shave more often than Axel and occasionally keeps up a light stubble when he doesn't feel like shaving.
Clothing Preference: Albrecht dresses in a way eerily similar to his little brother. Like Axel, he's normally clad in flannel shirts with a wife beater or t-shirt beneath. In the peak of summer, he ditches the flannel and wears either just his t-shirt or just his wife-beater (or, nothing, if he feels like it). For pants, it's denim jeans either the normal length or crudely cut to below the knee by himself. He prefers barefeet to anything, but he wears boots when out in public.
Skills:
- Despite how strong Axel is, it is known by the majority of the pack that Albrecht is the more dominant brother. In spars when they were young, Albrecht constantly forced the younger Wolff into submission. He's retained most of his strength since then, although he can be overwhelmed when attacked by multiple figures, seeing as he fights with more brute strength than with quick, easy blows or strikes.
- He left Bellingstone to become a lawyer and, therefore, speaks with charisma and ease.
- In his time away from Bellingstone, he became a talented boater and fisherman. He enjoys water and the ocean a lot and spent much of his childhood by the large lake outside of Bellingstone.
- He moves quite swiftly and agilely for a man of his build. When he was younger, he used to wait tables in his father's restaurant for this reason while his brother took on cooking.
- Like his younger brother, Albrecht also has a problem sitting still in most situations. Even while practicing as a lawyer, he was known to use the floor and walk around or would play with the end of his tie under the table.
- He chews and picks the ends of his finger nails. It's a habit he picked up as a kid and hasn't yet overcome.
- The more he is rebutted, the more defensive he becomes. It gets to a point where, in a particularly annoying court case, he nearly shoved his face into another man's and yelled at him.

Written Description: In the years since Albrecht lived in Bellingstone, it seems he and his brother completely switched roles and personalities, more or less. When he first lived in Bellingstone, Albrecht was the responsible, young man who had a great sense of duty to protect his pack and become the next Alpha male. He continuously beat down his younger brother into a submissive state and was obviously on his way to being one of the Pack's finest leaders. Upon leaving for college, though, he realized that he would much rather experience life outside of the pack.
Returning now after he's built up a decent bank account, Albrecht is far more easy-going and laid back. If anything, his younger brother seems to be the one who's thinking things through more. Albrecht doesn't seem to think that by leaving, he has screwed his chances as Alpha. In fact, he's quite willing to fight his own brother for position as Alpha. He becomes jealous and protective easily, even over things that aren't really his. Despite being more laid-back with rules, Albrecht also is much more aggressive and eager to fight, most likely because he is no longer in a stable position of authority.
Relationship Status: Once upon a time, he was promised to marry Leanna and be her mate. While he still has feelings for her, he also knows that she's Axel's mate now...unless he can reclaim his position as Alpha. As of now, he is single.
Brief History: This life of Albrecht Wolff was never entirely calm or uneventful. Being the first born son of Richard and Laura Wolff in the winter of 1975, Albrecht was already destined to become the Alpha before he was even born. At only three years of age, he was already promised to marry Leanna Romero, the eldest of Jonas and Olivia Romero. Though the two were destined to become the next Alpha pair, it didn't affect their friendship at all. In fact, the two were basically inseparable.
When he was six years old, Axel was born. By then, although he wasn't very strong yet, Albrecht was a very tall child compared to the other pups of the pack. In play groups, he quickly assumed the position of leader while making Leanna a sort of second in command. Axel, on the other hand, became the brunt of most of his beatings and displays of dominance, stressing their relationship to this day. By the time Axel hit puberty and his rebellious streak, the two could be found constantly beating on each other in their wolf forms. Each time, Albrecht came out strong. However, Axel eventually became able to escape less hurt or hold himself for longer in a fight. These fights were a way of the elder Wolff boy whipping his younger brother into the role he'd eventually take on as a subordinate.
When he turned twenty-one and Leanna had turned eighteen, they were deemed a couple and began to refer to themselves as dating. As their relationship deepened and blossomed further into true love, Albrecht also began more and more aggressive to his unruly little brother, constantly fighting with him and forcing him into submission. When he was twenty-nine, Albrecht proposed to Leanna. She accepted and the preparations for the wedding began. In the mean time, Axel had taken up working at the diner, where he was perfectly content working forever. It got Albrecht wondering what he would do with himself to provide for his future wife and pups. What could he do? He had a high school education, but he hadn't attended college of any sort.
Deciding to leave the pack was one of the hardest decisions he made in his thirty years of existence. For months before he left, he slowly tried to detach himself from Leanna, hoping to save her some of the pain when he finally left her. He made plans to leave, to fund an education for himself at University of California with his parents' money, which he would take. Albrecht had everything worked out in his mind...except how to leave behind his love.
Continuously, he put off telling her he was leaving. But, he finally realized that he couldn't marry her when he was planning to leave. The night before they were to wed, he scaled the side of her home and climbed into the window of her room to wake her and tell her what was going on. The entire time, his gut clenched with guilt and fear. Albrecht watched the one person who meant the world to him try desperately to convince him what he was doing was just wedding nerves. For a minute, he almost believed her and might have stayed. But, he convinced himself he was leaving and, as she shouted at him, he simply held her tight and sighed. Even as she sobbed, he held her and told her it would be okay. With a final kiss, he told her he loved her and left her to go fly out to California on his parents' money.
In California, he attended a program in political science for three years, spending his summers earning credits too so he would graduate earlier. His first year at college was stressful, full of studying and cramming. By his next year, he was slowly unwinding and becoming easier going. In his last year, he was just about as easy-going as ever and much more relaxed than he'd been with the burden of a pack on his shoulders. Afterwards, he attended University of Washington for law school. Once qualified, at thirty-seven, he returned to the eastern side of Pennsylvania to practice there for law. In his time away from the pack, he joined countless other packs and even flirted with and dated other women. One woman in particular, who he flirted with, was the cause of a nasty scar that he still bears. With a decent amount of money stored up, he finally decided fairly recently to return to his childhood home and, if lucky, reclaim his love.
