Albarn, Spirit

スピリット=アルバーン

He serves as the Shinigami's current weapon and is Maka's father. He is deeply protective of Maka, always ready to rush to her aid whenever she gets into trouble, though the Shinigami invariably stops him. His wife is Maka's mother, but they are now divorced because of his persistent flirting with other women. Despite frequenting clubs, he remains fiercely loyal to his ex-wife and daughter. He often runs around shouting about how much he loves Maka and her mother (whom he calls "Mama"). He is profoundly saddened that his daughter hates him, yet he continues to try to be a good father by watching over her in his own foolish manner. He was formerly Dr. Franken's partner before teaming up with "Mama," who later became his wife (a union that inevitably led to their divorce). He still suffers from nightmares about Dr. Franken attempting to dissect him and retains memories from college days when he and Stein were roommates. His former name was Spirit.
