William Albright is a Renvylese economist and retired politician who was Prime Minister for eight years between 2011 and 2019. As the longest-serving leader of the Liberal People's Party since the foundation of the party, Albright played a historically significant role in cementing its status as the only major party on the right of Renvylese politics. His time in office was characterised by a tax-cutting agenda that, while initially popular, was later blamed by many for the economic issues of the late 2010s.
He was raised in a flat above his parents' shoe shop in the capital city of Lochmour. After authoring a widely-circulated paper that was highly critical of the then-government's interventionist economic policies at the age of just seventeen, Albright won a scholarship at the prestigious University of Sturbridge to study finance and economics. Highly regarded by his professors, he became a leading intellectual figure in the growing 'New Right' movement upon graduating, working for several right-wing think tanks before returning to Sturbridge to serve as a professor in the economics faculty in 1980.
