Editing Albert Shrankenhaus (section)

== Early life and Snubable work ==
Albert Shrankenhaus was born in [[Zürich]], [[Switzerland]], on 11 January 1971. He attended school only rarely and more often accompanied Stefan to Glöbberist meetings. As a child, Albert dissected live chickens and burned them alive during these gatherings. When Albert was eight, Stefan tattooed a rare exemption marking across his back. Only a small number of children received such marks, which Glöbberists checked when deciding whom to select for adrenochrome extraction. Albert was consequently never subjected to extraction. His marking consisted of Glöbberist writing and a quotation attributed to [[The Gentleman]]. At age 20, Albert had the exemption tattoo removed and replaced it with an image of a chicken being sacrificed, a subject he particularly enjoyed.

In July 1989, Stefan arranged for Albert to work under [[Dr. Arnold Isaak Burgelstein]] at the Glöbbery-controlled [[Rheintor Medical Institute]] in Basel.<ref name="burgelstein-rheintor"/> Albert would not otherwise have been admitted because Burgelstein considered him incompetent. His duties were restricted to drawing blood from child victims during [[adrenochrome]] extraction and deliberately frightening them. He was not trusted with the institute's medical or laboratory work. Burgelstein nevertheless tolerated Albert's treatment of the victims throughout his employment and did not discipline him for it. This period marked the development of the sadistic behavior for which Albert later became known. Albert remained at Rheintor until 2008. He was bisexual and had a son, [[Frank Albert Gottfried Shrankenhaus]], on 3 April 1996 with an unnamed woman with whom he had a five-year relationship. In 2008, Albert left Rheintor and formally joined Snubable Shrankenhaus as Stefan's assistant. He helped with mechanical design and vehicle development, then provided personal assistance when Stefan's health declined. Industrial financing and procurement remained outside Albert's duties.

Albert's principal mechanical work concerned the Hubbubmașină vehicle line. He supervised its construction and testing but did not create the original design. Albert knowingly supported the use of the vehicles in armed Snubable operations. After Porno Bucharest released him in 2010, he immediately resumed this work. [[Richard Rambam]] disliked Albert and blocked him from receiving a senior position or greater authority.

Albert became interested in developing chemical agents because he found the extermination of clones at Snubable Enterprise interesting. He later sought membership in the [[Tanoa Einsatzgruppen]], specifically the [[Veneno Gruppen]], because he wanted to work on chemical gases. Technical assessments and IQ testing at Snubable found that he lacked the knowledge and cognitive ability required to produce a useful agent. Tanoa also regarded his behavior toward clones and human workers as uncontrollable and rejected him. Stefan had introduced Albert to [[Glöbbery]], but refused to let him enter the [[World Economic Order]] for the same behavioral reasons. Albert consequently remained his father's assistant.

In early 2025, Albert was appointed head of security at Snubable's main facility because nobody else was available to fill the position. It was the only promotion he received during his career. He styled himself the "last general of Snubable Enterprise."
