By 1265, Albert of Bavaria was a monk, a former bishop and a professor of theology at Paris University. His monastery was constructed atop the site of some Roman ruins, where a time portal to another world had been discovered.
Two centuries after its acquisition, Albert managed to figure out the "sigils" to operate the portal. He brought back genetically engineered mythical creatures, including a basilisk, a griffin and a manticore, from the research laboratory in 7199 which lay at the other end.
In order to complete his Transcendental Bestiary, Albert hired local artists, including Thomas, to record these fantastic creatures on paper. Many died when those creatures left their cages. He wished to be remembered for his contributions, and showed little remorse for the human cost of his endeavours, allowing others to die on many occasions, all to protect himself and his work.
When Jenny finally explained that the planet from which he was sourcing the creatures would soon be swallowed by a supernova, he had a change of heart and decided to try to save the creatures. Jenny gave him a crash course on time travel so he could send them to another destination, before returning home.
After doing some research, Noah believed he was Albertus Magnus, who would later be made the patron saint of science.
