Fernand (de Morcerf)
Fernand’s and Mercedes’s honorable son, Albert meets the Count of Monte Cristo in Rome and eventually befriends him, believing the Count to be one of the most interesting and mysterious men he has ever met. Albert invites the Count to visit him in Paris, not knowing that the Count was once betrothed to his mother, Mercedes, and that the Count has vowed revenge against Albert’s father, Fernand. Albert becomes a great supporter of, and friend to, the Count in Paris. But when Albert believes that the Count is behind a supposed smear of his father’s good name in the newspapers, he challenges the Count to a duel. Albert just as quickly retracts this challenge, however, refusing to fight the Count because he has learned that these smears against his father are true. Albert thus cultivates a nobility that his father lacks, and he vows to join the army to do what he can to bolster the family’s name after his father’s disgrace and suicide.

Yes, I share your hope: the wrath of heaven will not pursue us, you who are so pure and I so innocent. But since we are resolved, let us act promptly. Monsieur de Morcerf left the house around half an hour ago; so, as you see, we have a good opportunity to avoid scandal or explanations.
