- Spencer to David Nolan

District Attorney Albert Spencer is a character on Once Upon a Time. He makes his debut in the eighteenth episode of the first season. He is portrayed by guest star Alan Dale and his Fairytale Land counterpart is King George.

History
For events occurring before the casting of the Dark Curse, see King George.

During the Curse
Albert Spencer is the Storybrooke District Attorney. He conducts an interview with Mary Margaret Blanchard regarding the disappearance and assumed murder of Kathryn Nolan. Mary Margaret ends up incriminating herself in this interview, which seems to satisfy D.A. Spencer. ("The Stable Boy")

After the Curse
After Emma Swan breaks the Dark Curse, Spencer is seen in his car, suspiciously watching David Nolan and Henry Mills practice sword fighting. ("Lady of the Lake")

Later, Spencer meets with David and warns him that he plans to make his life hell as revenge for ruining his plans for family as King George. Spencer tries to frame Ruby for Billy's murder, forcing David to protect her and choose his friend over the townspeople. Granny follows the scent of Billy's blood to Spencer's car and she and David find evidence that Spencer killed Billy. They stop him from killing Ruby in her wolf form but he escapes and burns Jefferson's hat, preventing them from opening a portal to rescue Mary Margaret Blanchard and Emma Swan. ("Child of the Moon")

Trivia

 * The name "Albert" is derived from the Germanic words for "noble" and "bright", which is ironic considering his blind hatred against Prince Charming/David Nolan.
