Description
Albert Alium is a student at the Arnold Magic Academy and a character from the anime The Iceblade Sorcerer Shall Rule the World. He is the eldest child of the aristocratic and upper-class Alium family, a background that heavily influences his worldview. Growing up with the belief that bloodline and family heritage are the most important factors in determining a person's worth, he initially holds the conviction that only those from special or noble families can become truly great sorcerers. This elitist attitude leads him to look down upon individuals who are not nobles or who are of a lower social standing. His disdain extends to those he considers ordinary or talentless, as reflected in his dismissive comments about a "withered wizard" and his belief that someone who cannot use sorcery has no right to stand on the same level as him.

Albert's personality is marked by a strong sense of pride and an arrogant demeanor, but it is also underscored by a determined and hardworking nature. Although he appears strict, he possesses a strong will and does not give up easily, always striving to do his best even when faced with difficult challenges. His primary motivation is driven by his noble pride, which compels him to prove his superiority and live up to the expectations of his prestigious family name. This pride becomes a central point of conflict when he encounters the protagonist, Ray White. Albert feels intense jealousy towards Ray, refusing to acknowledge that someone he perceives as ordinary or inferior could be more powerful than himself.

In the story, Albert serves as an initial rival and antagonist to Ray White. His role is highlighted during the Magic Chevalier tournament, where his frustration with Ray's unexpected skill leads him to demand a duel. In this confrontation, he ferociously attacks Ray using a real sword. Albert's key relationship is with Ray White. Their dynamic evolves significantly following a specific incident or fight. After Albert learns that Ray is actually the Iceblade Sorcerer, one of the seven most powerful sorcerers in the world, his attitude begins to change. While he still does not fully accept that Ray is more powerful and continues to strive to surpass him out of noble pride, the two reconcile. They forgive each other and eventually develop a friendship, becoming good companions at the academy who grow and progress together.

In terms of abilities, Albert Alium appears to be a user of fire magic. Physically, he is described as a male teenager of reasonable stature, standing 175 cm tall, with a well-trained body, short bright blue hair, and brown eyes. His character development revolves around learning to overcome his rigid classist beliefs and moving from a place of jealous rivalry to one of mutual understanding and friendship with the protagonist.
