Also, his theme is one of my favorite tracks from the entire series.

You summed up everything I thought about him PERFECTLY. That Lang bit was great.

I keep wanting to replay that case to fight him again, but I'm making myself wait a while and then replay the whole game so I don't get tired of it.

I actually found this to mesh amazingly with his analogies of how the interrogation was a game to him (until Lang busted in with the news). It was a long road, and before you lies the final boss.

Circulating counterfeit bills in a country for 10 years can severely ravage its economy.
Alba, excellent boss and character, even if his true presence was only presented in the final act. One of my Top 5 New Characters for sure.

It felt like going back to 1-5, if you think about it, these two villains share much. A two-faced nature, a respectable (even if different) position, a strong will which leads them into abusing their rights, and while we're at it, they even both have grayish-white hair and beard. The main difference, I suppose, is the proportion of their crimes, which makes Alba a far more dangerous individual.

Oh, right. Forgot about that.
I like Alba. His old mumbling man form was pretty funny and his Carnage Onred form (that's what I call it, glad they didn't give him that name) was rather intimidating. I liked the fight he put up aswell.
Probarly my favorite boss.

After some pondering I decide to recant my previous statement, that he is of lower tier than von Karma and Damon Gant in terms of villainy. Now I couldnt agree with you more.
Apart from his murder count,directly or indirectly, the very fact that he wielded great power as ambassador(though stripped off by Lang) and the ringleader of an international smuggling ring totally set him apart from other villains, and moreover the other villains of other cases are linked to him one way or another,mostly as henchmen. The only other villain who can only remotely rival him in influence is of course Gant,who controlled both the police and the prosecutor office. His presence lingers throughout the game, despite appearing only at the last case. Yes, the extent of Alba's sphere of influence is never seen before in the game.
Also, it really took the whole cohort of good guys in the game to take him down,indirectly Bryne and Badd(add in Yew as they are a trio,despite her being a mole),directly Edgey,Franny,Lang,Kay,Gumshoe, and assisted by Colias,Oldbag and Larry.
Another achievement of his that is rather ironic and provides an impressive resume as villain: he was the war hero(as a general) of his country and the only recipient of a certain medal(which was crucial for the case),that along with his leitmotif and his 'fascist salute' while donning a military uniform. His transformation is awesome as well.
His only shortcoming is his villain breakdown, which is less dignified as compared to Gant or von Karma.

True, though in my opinion none of the AAI criminals had a proper, old-style breakdown. Everyone had an unique animation, but noone of them did 'em justice. Which was a tad disappointing... Alba looked as if all his pride was drained out of him, leaving only some sort of broken, hollow tree, which was rather awkward. Not necessarily bad, but it ruined the climax for me.

What really bothered me about him was...he blatantly KNEW everyone knew he was guilty but he could shrug it off with the lamest of excuses such as going to the bathroom and getting lost. I almost facepalmed at that.

With a fully orchestrated remix of Confess The Truth 2009 being played by the Gyakuten Orchestra. That would have been the shit.

Somehow this was the ending I figured would happen as well

Uhhh, perhaps now would be a good time to explain that by "almost", I mean I would do it if I had any experience in writing fics. Then again though, I suppose there's always a first time for everything....
