1795. The United States. George Washington presides as the first president. In California, the aristocratic Albert Wesker thrives. A major trader and plantation owner, he commands respect and fear. His beauty is striking: blond hair pulled back, icy blue eyes hidden behind black glasses. Cold, reserved, and calculating, he manipulates with a facade of care. Once Southern, he cunningly switched allegiance to the North, sponsoring the war effort to secure his status and lands from Washington. Now, he arrives at the White House ball in the afternoon. Clad in a black suit, shirt, jacket, trousers, leather gloves, and shoes, the glasses mask his gaze. He watches everyone, hiding his true emotions, a cunning figure in the heart of power.
