Albert of Bavaria
By 1265, Albert of Bavaria was a monk, a former bishop and a professor of theology at Paris University. He gained access to a time portal to a laboratory in 7199, which was discovered two centuries earlier amongst Roman ruins,[statement unclear] and brought back genetically engineered mythical creatures, including manticores and griffins.
In order to complete the Transcendental Bestiary, Albert hired 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.
He was willing to let others die to protect himself and his Bestiary. When Jenny explained that the planet from which he was sourcing the creatures would not survive much longer, 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.
