Cypher Albar

Professor Seifer Albar was a lecturer at the Military Academy and a genius alchemist. He spent most of the year in his laboratory and seldom showed himself.

Information
Seifer first appeared briefly in Chapter 15 of BlazBlue: Remix Heart; wondering what the commotion was in the academy. He was later seen calming Jin from Yukianesa's indoctrination with an unknown Ars Armagus. He seemed to possess a great deal of knowledge on Nox Nyctores; as well as knowledge on Mai's existence as a Grimoire. He had some connection to Relius Clover. During the Guardian of the Azure Grimoire's mysterious disappearance, he went to make sure the Conversion Grimoire was still in his lab, but it was gone as well. After Mai encountered Relius, Seifer, who was observing Mai from his lab, theorized that Mai's grimoire is the "Burning Red". In Chapter 20, it is revealed he used to work for Sector Seven.

In the final chapter of Remix Heart, Hazama killed Seifer from behind with Ouroboros.

Personality
Seifer was a very intelligent and wise man. He rarely went outside, usually spending his time in his laboratory. Seifer was also suspicious of Mai, as he knew that she became a grimoire. Later it was revealed that he was a cold, sadistic, and cruel person. His true goal was to get the Crimson Grimoire for his own accord. He appeared to be interested in experiments on humans.

Appearance
Seifer was a slender, mature, and tall man with short, messy hair and dark-colored eyes. He wore a scholarly outfit with an ascot and a short collar cape. He also wore circular glasses.

When he was member of Sector Seven, he appeared to be very different from his current appearance, he reattained his glasses except he had short black hair, and shallow eyes.

Powers and Abilities
As an Alchemist, Seifer had a great deal of knowledge in the fields of alchemy; it can be assumed he knew a lot more than just alchemy, given his status as a lecturer at a highly prestigious academy. As well as his skills in alchemy, Seifer also demonstrated a great deal of skill in the use of Ars Magus.
