Albert Moreno is a character portrayed by David Gianopoulos in the ABC crime series Castle.
Known professionally as Albert "the Blade" Moreno, he was a criminal who once worked as muscle for the Spolano crime family.
During a meeting with psychic Vivien Marchand three months before her death, having quit the family and looking to set himself up for retirement, Vivien recommended that Albert invest in a New Jersey real estate deal, claiming that true happiness would be his as a result, but the deal fell through two months later and he lost everything.
However, when Castle and Beckett went to talk to him after Vivien was found dead in her office, Albert explained that, while he had met Vivien on the day of her death to discuss his current financial woes as he was now forced to sell his house, she had pleaded with him to wait, on the grounds that the universe would "sort itself out". When he went to meet his broker after Vivian left for an appointment, Albert was pleasantly surprised to learn that the estate agent responsible for organising the sale of his house was none other than his high school sweetheart, Loreen Carter. The two retained their feelings for each other even after breaking up in '82 and resumed their relationship, thus providing Albert with an alibi, while confirming that he now had no reason to want Vivian dead, as her prediction had come true.
