Albert was born and raised in Mahogany Town. He was one of those "unplanned children." He was the youngest, the rest of the children were sextuplets. His parents had little time to pay attention to him, and he became lonely. His siblings abused him endlessly, and he couldn't do anything about it because they were the perfect children. Every day after school in Blackthorn, Albert would stop by the Candy Guy and buy a Rage Candy Bar. They were his favorite food and he would do anything for them. When he was about 6, Team Rocket was forced out of Mahogany, and Albert saw the Candy Guy fleeing as he was on his way home from school. He dumped his stuff at home, and followed them North, towards Lake of Rage. It was getting late, and Albert was desperate. He encountered a group of lost Magmas. They ganged up on him, stole all his things, and beat him up, before throwing him in the Lake. He was gravely injured, losing a lot of blood, and many broken bones. He remembers drifting in the Lake, when a bunch of strong hands pulled him out. He was unconsious. When he woke up, he was in the Team Rocket base between Johto and Glaciontis, not far from his home. A grunt told him how he was rescued. Albert was very grateful, and the Rockets gave him a ton of Rage Candy Bars, before escorting him safely home. One day, when Albert was 15, he had a huge fight with his parents after confronting them about their neglect. He stormed out of the house, and went back to the Rocket base. To his dismay, it had been abandoned. The base was a mess, but Albert found a filing cabinet in a dark corner of the deepest basement that laid out a complex paper trail to find out where the Rockets had gone. It led across Johto to Kanto, and from Vermilion City, he got a boat to Hoenn. In Hoenn, the paper trail brought him past Magma operations. He was angered. It led all the way to Raiza, where he stumbled upon the base about the time he was 16. He was weary, and when he asked the grunts there where to go to enlist, they took him to the Raiza Exec. He was underage, but it turned out that the exec was one of the grunts who had rescued him from Lake of Rage. He was enlisted.
