Biography

Background

Physical labor is okay, but I don't want to lose the feeling in my fingers.

—  Alberto

Alberto is a cellist in a band. He was once apprenticed to a barrel maker but quit to pursue a career in music[2]. Eventually, he formed a travelling band with Pico and Annallee.

Suikoden II

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

—  Alberto

During the Dunan Unification War, Alberto, Pico, and Annallee travelled to Muse. When Muse was attacked, the three were scattered and Alberto wound up in Crom, where he raised money as an armourer with the intent of searching for Pico and Annallee[3]. However, Alberto learned from Riou that his friends had joined the New State Army, which he joined as well.

Alberto and his bandmates played music for the New State Army throughout the duration of the war. Following the end of the war, Alberto continued to travel with the musicians in his group while improving his smithing skills[4].

Trivia

  • Artwork from Genso Suikoden Card Stories erroneously shows Alberto playing a guitar and Pico playing a cello; in Suikoden II, Alberto is the cellist and Pico is the guitarist.
  • As well as being a talented musician and blacksmith, Alberto is a good cook[5].
