Albion was originally from an alternate reality where World War One started in 1914 but it did not end in 1918. The battle raged on for another 100 years completely decimating the world as a result. Albion was a Captain Ranger on his planet and frequently without weapons, often having to pick up weapons of other fallen soldiers.

This is when Merlin and Roma came to him and offered him the choice: The Amulet of Right and The Sword of Might. He chose the Sword becoming one of the few that ever did. Roma wanted him to remove the power from him, however, Merlin disagreed and said that as a result his world would suffer.

Albion, fuelled with rage at the both of them, declared vengeance and decided it was finally time to cleanse the world of the violence and despair that has washed over it. As he was about to kill a Warlord, a member of the Captain Britain corps appeared and asked him not to kill the Warlord. Albion killed him anyways and defeated the member of the Captain Britain corps before revealing his true face. He then killed him and stated that he was going to conquer his world and defeat every Captain Britain due to his hatred to Merlin and Roma.

Somehow he finds his way to Earth-616, and allies himself with Lionheart, Kelsey Leigh, another person who had chosen the Sword over the Amulet, and begins to train her to attack Captain Britain. However, she failed in her task and Albion was last seen allied with the Shadow X-Men, a group that has come into conflict with New Excalibur before. His plan has yet to come into fruition.

Powers

Albion has basically the same powers as Captain Britain, though he has a greater deal of combat experience because he has fought many years in a war.
