Black Alberich's story.
Background
Black Alberich is the leader of the Black Workshop, part of the Thirteen Factories and the modern incarnation of the Gnomes, the Kin of Earth and the Lost Zem. His goal is to reform the Great One once again, in accordance with the wishes of his master, Ishmelga. 'Alberich' himself is an inherited personality, moving from the bodies of the most prominent gnomes throughout the centuries, making them into immortals and taking over their personalities.
One previous version of Alberich (his last incarnation before the one in the present) was lured to the Ivory Shrine by Isola Millstein who had discovered the secret of the Gnomes and wanted to end him in order to make the world safer. This early version used Zoa Balor and engaged in a fight with Isola, ending with their mutual destruction. Due to Alberich's nature however, he survived and passed onto Franz Reinford.
He serves Giliath Osborne in order to fulfill the Great Twilight and Rivalry of the Seven, for which he has been making preparations for centuries. Alberich was the one who orchestrated the legendary duel between Western Zemuria's two strongest Jaegers; Rutger Claussell of Zephyr and Baldur Orlando of Red Constellation, in S.1203. Both of them had been selected as potential Awakeners for Zector, one of the seven Divine Knights. They died, but Alberich decided to revive Rutger. He approached Xeno and Leonidas, Rutger's most powerful henchmen, and had them work with the Noble Alliance as mercenaries in exchange for Rutger's revival. Later on, Rutger was indeed revived as an Immortal Awakener of Zector.
영웅전설 섬의 궤적 III
Alberich is introduced in the series under the guise of Professor Lughman (ルーグマン教授). In order to check up on Altina Orion, he reached out to Class VII in Crossbell and Ordis and guided the group to investigate the Catacombs underneath Heimdallr. In secret, Alberich was observing Class VII and Altina through the use of Zoa Balor in its orb form, which appeared both at the Stargazer's Tower and the exercise involving the Goliath Noa which went out of control with an unconscious Altina.
Angelica, who had been suspicious of Azure Siegfried due to his resemblance to Crow, suspected that George was hiding something. She confronted him at Himmel Cemetery and demanded to know the truth, just as Alberich arrived. Alberich ordered George to kill her, but George intentionally missed her vital organs. George explained to Alberich that he wanted to control her like they did with Crow; Alberich did not mind and allowed him to do whatever he wanted.
When the Gral of Erebos appeared as the place to usher in the Great Twilight, he summoned Altina in order to have her sublimate into the Sword of the End, a weapon capable of destroying Holy Beasts. Altina and her predecessors in the Oz series were developed specifically for this purpose. With Osborne's consent, he stopped the Courageous's interruption of ritual by having Georg detonate the bombs aboard the Courageous. What remained for him was to witness Rean Schwarzer ushering in the Great Twilight.

With the Great Twilight activated, Alberich returned to the Gnomes' headquarters alongside Osborne, who had captured Rean. Class VII infiltrated the Black Workshop in order to free Rean. When Alisa calls him out by his original name, he replied that he - as Alberich, is not her father.
Alberich deployed a Gargantua-class battleship in the area near the Draco Shrine, sealing it off with a barrier to prevent the Second Rivalry from starting prematurely, entrusting George and Sharon to protect it from Class VII. After the two failed to hold them off, Alberich expressed disappointment in both of them, before releasing his "graduation" project, a Leviathan-type Zauber Soldat. Despite its efforts, the Leviathan was unable to defeat Class VII and went haywire, attempting to attack Irena and Schmidt, who were observers. Sharon and George stopped the Leviathan, with the latter's efforts causing it to destroy the shield generator. Alberich was infuriated with George's "betrayal" and dismissed him from the Gnomes.
Following this incident, Alberich had the Black Workshop emptied of all vital documents. He later deployed another Leviathan unit to help McBurn in Crossbell after anticipating that Victor would be incapacitated in some way, but its presence simply infuriated the Enforcer.
After Rean completed the first three Rivalries, Alberich and Osborne summon the Tuatha De Danann as the stage for the final Rivalries. He fights alongside Rufus Albarea to prepare the stage for the fifth Rivalry. After the battle, Alberich appears to struggle, switching to and from Alberich and Franz personas as he leaves. In the final Rivalry, Alberich attempts to convince Osborne to stall the next Rivalry, but his advice falls on deaf ears. Osborne loses the final Rivalry, causing Ishmelga's hold over Franz Reinford to completely dissipate and return to his former personality. In the normal ending, Black Alberich still has control of his body while telling Class VII that his master still managed to get what he wanted before vanishing and seemingly dying with Franz Reinford In the true ending however, Franz regains complete control of his body from Alberich and assists them with Ishmelga's defeat. At that moment, Black Alberich is assumed to have ceased to exist.
