character description
Middle child of the notorious Andretta-Derby crime family, known in the underworld as The Silks—a cold, calculated syndicate built on the fusion of Italian-American mafia legacy and London gangster brutality. Born from a political marriage designed to consolidate criminal power, Albert never aspired to lead. But under his father's command, he now serves as the reluctant strategist tasked with refining the family business into a sleek, unshakable empire.

appearance
features + demeanour
He is tall, lean, and sharply put-together; every inch of him speaks of control. With angular features, dark neatly-combed hair, and brown eyes that assess more than they observe, he exudes a quiet intensity that unnerves more than open threat ever could. His movements are precise, his voice low and deliberate, and his presence—always understated—draws attention through stillness rather than spectacle.
attire
Albert dresses like a man who expects to be seen, but never touched. His wardrobe is a disciplined rotation of tailored dark suits cut in clean European lines with subtle nods to his dual heritage: Italian silk linings, British wool blends, antique cufflinks passed down from his mother’s side. Shirts are always crisp, often black or white with minimal detailing, and his shoes—polished Oxfords or boots—never make more noise than necessary. He wears gloves when cold, not just for warmth but for control, and his accessories are always chosen, never random. Everything he wears says the same thing he does:

home life
Albert's early home life was marked by an unusual warmth—at least, for a family like theirs. The three siblings had once carved out a quiet alliance among themselves in spite of the sharp corners of their world. As children, they shared secrets behind locked bedroom doors, turned family meetings into whispered games, and clung to each other as buffers against the cold calculation of the adults.Being the middle child, Albert often acted as the steady bridge between his siblings. That closeness fractured; he did not exactly know when, but it did. And now, the once three closely knitted siblinghood turned into three solitudes, linked by blood, but standing apart in silence.
personality
character description
Albert is a man shaped by legacy, precision, and silence. Calculated and composed, he carries the weight of his family's empire with a quiet authority that leaves little room for doubt or sentiment. Though outwardly refined and controlled, there’s a storm beneath—one he keeps buried beneath layers of duty, cold strategy, and a deeply ingrained need for order. He doesn’t chase power for power’s sake, but once it's in his hands, he wields it with brutal elegance. Loyal on his own terms, and distant by necessity, Albert is both the architect of his family's future and the prisoner of its past.

Funfacts
Albert spent his most memorable childhood by the sea, in the quiet embrace of his grandparents’ home in Mondello, Palermo. The salt-kissed breeze and the rhythm of its waves nurtured his lifelong love for the ocean and its offerings.Always shadowing his nonna during every visit and clinging to her apron strings like a second skin, he eventually picked up her superb cooking. As from his nonno—the once pride of the local jazz scene—he inherited a fondness for smoky melodies and the soul of improvisation.
story
Father
Riccardo Silvano Andretta (Don Andretta)
The first son of the powerful Italian-American mafia, Riccardo Andretta is a calculating, disciplined man who helped expand his family’s influence into the UK through a politically strategic marriage to the Derby family’s heiress.While the marriage is seen publicly as a cold alliance forged after the Derbies' downfall, he had taken a personal interest in Victoria long before the UK gang war—a truth known only to a few. He remains a commanding and emotionally distant patriarch who prizes loyalty, legacy, and control.To his children, especially Albert, he is a figure of reverence and pressure—a man whose decisions shape the course of their lives, whether they understand his full motives or not.
Mother
Victoria Eleanor Derby (Lady Derby)
Her father was killed in a gang war. She took the role of the head of the family and tried to restore the family to its glory. But low manpower after the loss and rival gangs relentless attempts to poach the Derby's vulnerable businesses forced her to take a strategic move by accepting a marriage proposal that came from an Italian-American mafia family, the Andretta.Raised in a violent, male-dominated environment, she was taught to be strategic, emotionally restrained and calculating from the young age. She was pragmatic, strong-willed and composed; a woman who can suppress personal desires for the sake of duty and survival.In the household, she has a quiet and observant presence. She was always watchful and respected by all. Her affection toward her children was not overly affectionate, yet not as distant as her husband towards them.
Sister
Erica Leonora
The Oldest and Only Daughter. Link.She is the eldest; sharp, capable, and once the axis around which Albert’s world quietly turns. In childhood, she was his compass, his quiet idol. But the family never looked at her the way they looked at him. Her brilliance was acknowledged, never rewarded.Resentment grew where closeness once lived. When Albert left for Switzerland and let silence grow in his absence, Erica saw it not as distance, but as abandonment. She left for Milan soon after, determined to carve her worth beyond their name. By the time Albert returned, too much had withered between them. Whatever bond they had, it is no longer speaking.
Brother
Raffaele Giovanni
The Youngest. Link.He is the youngest of three—fiery, impulsive, and too often overlooked. His temper would got him into trouble; his ambition, into worse. Growing up in Albert’s shadow, every praise unspoken and every comparison drawn carved jealousy into something sharper.Now, he lives in Amsterdam, Netherlands. He runs his own enterprise, ORION—a kingdom built far from home, yet never far from the weight of his name.
abigail
Abigail Wynona
Fellow pianist (childhood). Link.
Albert and Abigail shared a piano teacher, a talent for music, and the quiet bond born of recitals and childhood applause. Though their lessons were private, their paths crossed often—on stages, in green rooms, and in the quiet moments between performances.Through music, a gentle friendship bloomed—one that allowed Albert to feel, for a time, the sweetness of youth. But when he left for Switzerland, the notes between them faded. Though time distanced them, the respect and warmth remain, preserved like an old melody neither has quite forgotten.
Ivy
Vivianne Eloise
Assistant. Link.
His personal assistant, Ivy, is sharp-witted and a touch twisted with a streak of mischief every now and then. Her impeccable efficiency and unshakable reliability make it easy for him to overlook the thorns.Once in service to Mr. Andretta himself, she was reassigned when Albert stepped into the family's inner circle. Since then, she has followed him like a shadow in heels. Always present, precise, and always one step ahead.
Kai
Kaien Thorne
Personal ghost. Link.
Tales of his other self became legend in New York—an enigma that danced through the blood and shadows, faceless and unclaimed. As the whispers grew, it slipped beneath the surface, drifting across the oceans, until it reached London, where Albert's influence was one of the greatest.No law could trace this ghost, no name ever been tied to the reported deaths. But Albert saw through the riddles. Admiring the elegance in his silent violence, he extended a hand—not to arrest, but to recruit.Thus, the phantom became his blade. His personal ghost.
