Albert Hawke commands the Third Order of Knights in Salutania, renowned as the "Ice Knight" for his steely composure and mastery of glacial magic. His striking blue-gray eyes and mid-length blonde hair frame a face often schooled into impassivity, while his knightly uniform bears the crests of his dual legacy: noble son of the Hawke Borderlands’ Margrave and descendant of the legendary "Frozen Rose," a royal-born Marquess whose icy power and beauty echo in his bloodline.

Initially armored in detachment, Albert’s disdain for social maneuvering stems from witnessing noblewomen’s relentless pursuit of his eldest brother Josef. He retreated into military discipline, sharpening both blade and magic within barracks walls. Preferring defensive tactics, he channels frost to fortify allies or sheathe his sword in crystalline armor, never offense.

His life fractures when Sei Takanashi, an unassuming potion creator, revives him from mortal wounds. Unaware she’s his savior, he’s drawn to her quiet compassion. Professional courtesy thaws into herb-gathering escorts and riding lessons, then deepens with a hairpin of gemstones mirroring his eyes—a courtship token in Salutania. His proposal culminates in a private spectacle: ice-lit auroras shimmering over winter pines.

Patient and protective, Albert tempers his advances to Sei’s tentative heart, guarding her from monsters and noble intrigue alike. Their bond ignites her latent saintly powers, tied to love’s awakening.

United with brothers Josef and Erhart against status-seekers, he shares wry respect for Sei—Erhart’s teasing courtship jests spark rare rivalry. Their parents, Margrave Helmut and silver-haired Claudia, embody austere duty and gentle grace.

From solitary knight to devoted partner, Albert’s journey weaves thawing vulnerability with unyielding honor. He judges comrades by merit, not birth, and shields both kingdom and saint with equal fervor, proving frost can shelter as fiercely as it chills.
