Alberto (アルバート, Arubāto) is a character in Suikoden II. He is a musician in a band with Pico and Annallee.

History

Please come and listen to us perform some time. It would make us very happy.

— Alberto

Alberto is the cellist and leader of his traveling band. He was raised in a craftsman household and was once apprenticed to a barrel maker, but he quit his job and left his family in order to pursue a career in music. He was obsessed with music from an early age and unable to live the life of a craftsman, chose to distance himself entirely by becoming a wandering musician.

Traveling to Muse City, he would first meet Pico and the two started performing music together. Later the two would encounter Annallee, who had come to Muse following the loss of her parents. The trio would eventually become a travelling band, with Alberto acting as the leader as he was the oldest and most mature.

Alberto's dexterity made him a skilled cellist, and he was also a gifted chef and tailor. He was the one who sewed Annallee's outfits, handled Pico's romantic problems, and managed the finances of the group.

During the Dunan Unification War, Alberto, Pico, and Annallee traveled to Muse Principality. When Muse was attacked, the three were scattered and Alberto eventually wound up in Crom Village, where he raised money as an armorer with the intent of searching for Pico and Annallee.

When Alberto learned from the hero that his friends had joined the New State Army, he eagerly joined, reuniting the group. Alberto and his bandmates performed music for the New State Army throughout the duration of the war, helping soothe the heart of the weary soldiers resting at New State Army Headquarters.

Following the end of the war, Alberto continued to travel with his group while improving his smithing skills.
