Albee Stewart (Neo Universe)

Albee Stewart is Dex's adoptive Earth brother. Albee looks up to Dex with enthusiasm as any little brother would. He tries to help Dex get accustomed to Earth by encouraging him to watch a great deal of television. Of course, Albee's help can sometimes lead to Dex acting strange in public.

Years later, Albee was an ex-fighter who was wrongly imprisoned for the murder of a scientist named Taku Katsuragi, who was involved with the Pandora Box. Abducted by BREAK while in prison, Albee managed to escape with his humanity intact, which would lead him to join Nathan Curie in uncovering the truth behind their shared experiences as BREAK victims.

He would later use the FlareDragon given to him by Nathan to become Flare Rider, the secondary rider of Fusion Rider.

Masked Rider
In, he dreamt that he gained the 's powers upon bumping into Dex. He is able to transform in to the Masked Rider when Albee yells out the phrase, "Ectophase Activate!". In his dream, put Albee through a triple death match against three tough, but Albee managed to destroy them all.

Fusion Rider
As an adult, Albee became a professional fighter, eventually getting engaged to Kaila Burns. A few years later, Albee earned a lifelong ban from fighting for throwing a match; it is implied that he accepted a bribe in order to pay for the frail Kaila's medical bills. To help his search for a new job, Kaila directed Albee to Taku Katsuragi, a researcher at the Sento Institute of Science, who was apparently looking for an assistant. However, when Albee came to Katsuragi's home to apply, he found the latter's corpse inside. Moments later, Soro's Smashtroopers arrived and apprehended Albee. Framed for Katsuragi's murder, Albee was sentenced to ten years in prison.

While in prison, he was attacked by a prison guard working for BREAK, who began experimenting on him to turn him into a Biorganism. Somehow, Albee managed to escape mid-experiment, retaining his memories and humanity, and retreated into the sewers.

Meeting Nathan Curie
Albee was eventually found by Soro’s Smashtroopers, who attempted to recapture him. Albee managed to fend off the Smashtroopers and escaped before he was apprehended by Nathan Curie, who had tracked him upon noticing his Biorganism-like energy readings. Upon realizing that Albee had undergone a similar experience, Nathan began interrogating Albee in hopes of uncovering his past, despite Albee's frustrated belligerence. The two were interrupted by the Strong Organism, who attacked Albee. However, Albee was saved by Nathen, who transformed into Fusion Rider and defeated the Biorganism. Albee recognized the Biorganism's human identity as one of his fellow victims, but was frustrated to find that the man had no memories of the experiments. The Soro government arrived soon after to retake Albee. Nathan, believing in Albee's innocence, helped him escape.

Personality
As an adult, Albee is a hot-blooded and impulsive man, tending to lash out quickly. While nowhere near as intelligent as Nathan, Albee prefers to confront problems directly using his fists and doesn't want to involve other people in his own problems. Also, unlike Nathan, he does not overthink things, preferring to use common sense, as shown when he was easily able to guess two Best Matches on his own.

Beneath his tough exterior is an honest, selfless and honorable individual. It is implied that the cheating that banned him from fighting was to get money for his fiancé's medical treatments.

Powers and Abilities

 * Hand-to-Hand Combat: Albee is a skilled fighter, having fought professionally before getting a lifelong ban.
 * Nebula Gas Compatible Physiology: Albee's physiology has been altered as a result of BREAK's experiments, though he manage to retain his humanity upon being exposed to Nebula Gas, and the only one to experience no memory loss. According to BloodStark, these subjects are extremely more unique than Biorganisms. However, unlike Nathan, Albee cannot utilize the Fusion Driver to transform.
 * Superhuman Strength: Albee has displayed enhanced strength: he was able to fight off numerous Smashtroopers on his own, and break metal chains with his bare hands.
 * Bio Capsule Augmentation: By using a Bio Capsule in his hand without transforming, Albee can gain abilities based on said Bio Capsule's traits:
 * Dragon: Albee's punches give off powerful shockwaves. Notably, his strong synchronization with the Dragon Bio Capsule causes his power to increase with each use. According to BloodStark, his attacks have a Hazard Level of 2.4 and then increases to 2.7 the more he fights.
