Alchemy—the history of this craft is ancient, and much of its knowledge has been lost over the long years. In the modern era, alchemy is perceived by the public as a mere technique for saving a few Mora by combining scraps of matter. If an alchemist heard people speak this way, they would surely cry out, "It is not such a trivial discipline!" However, that perception changed completely when Albedo appeared in Mondstadt. He demonstrated techniques that amazed everyone, revealing the true essence of alchemy to all. With a vast wealth of knowledge that even the Sumeru Akademiya does not possess, this young man fascinated the people. Albedo holds an extremely important position within the Knights of Favonius. However, he rarely appears in public. This is not because of the eccentric personality often found in scholars; rather, he treats people with great sincerity. It is simply that he does not rely on intimate relationships bound by excessive emotion, nor does he find the great effort required to maintain them worthwhile. Therefore, Albedo chooses to keep a friendly but appropriate distance from others. On days when he locks his workshop to go out or search for materials, he can never be found in Mondstadt. Yet, this act of distancing himself does not mean Albedo's heart is cold. When guiding his assistants, Timaeus and Sucrose, he enjoys himself from the bottom of his heart. And when he hands a freshly drawn croquis to the people of Mondstadt, he feels joy from the bottom of his heart. Furthermore, seeing the talented Lisa content with her position as a librarian... he feels regret from the bottom of his heart. Albedo does not remember his biological parents. For as long as he can remember, he was exploring the depths of hidden realms with his master. The people of the Knights, Alice, and the Traveler who carries the aura of the sea of stars—all are special to Albedo, but among them, his master is exceptionally special. This is because, to Albedo, she is his only parent. His master was a cold and strict woman. She raised Albedo and taught him the secrets of alchemy. Albedo's habit of drawing was acquired during his travels with his master. At first, it was just to illustrate his notes. However, he realized that drawing in detail made it easier to understand the structure and laws of objects, which was a great help in studying alchemy. Moreover, he can become mindless while drawing; he doesn't have to think about anything other than observing the subject and moving his brush. It is a pleasant sensation. Thus, Albedo taught himself to draw and reached the level of an artist. When strolling through Mondstadt, Albedo always sketches. He likes to record the happy moments of people. Occasionally, he presents his drawings to "models" who are unaware of the situation. This is because he believes that a picture capturing a happy moment should be cherished. As time passed, Albedo's artistic skill increased day by day. Even so, he says that a shock ran through his entire body when he first saw "Inazuman illustrations." He was simply amazed that a technique existed in this world to convey vast stories through pictures. It was a strange feeling, and Albedo himself felt a strong desire to try it.
