He slowly makes his way toward the ring, greeting a few with a handshake, before taking his entrance through the middle rope.

BIOGRAPHY:
We know that he is the store owner of Illumination Antiques. For how long? A long, long time. In fact, the store was originally ran by Fernicus Lamplight - his father - who died in a fire that broke out in the basement of his very own store! When that happened, the store shut down for a great deal of time and then suddenly, as the locals would put, "the lights came back on". Beyond that, mysteries remain - for now.
Albert's introduction to OSW did not come with extraordinary challenges. As Albert's identity started to find its way into the public eye, as well as his store - he was faced with a cease and desist by the Arcadian Censorship Authority. During this time, Albert was completely displaced. From there, the ACA made a deal with Gemini. This deal made Gemini the temporary deed-owner of Illumination Antiques.
Albert would ultimately have to take the dice roll of a lifetime by also negotiating a deal - this time with Gemini. They would fight at Red Snow - whoever wins officially takes over Illumination Antiques and all of its treasures. Thankfully, Albert managed to roll the dice in his favor, claim victory over Gemini, and earn back everything he lost - and then some, having also earned the Double Feature title from that victory.
It seems as though Albert has finally found his grounding in OSW - but with the reveal of another deal that Albert has seemingly had in the works for a great with an unknown presence, we stare at a future that isn't necessarily clear - but one that, for certain, will include one Albert Lamplight.
