Subject Two is an event-exclusive NPC who first appeared in the Event Story Quest The Snowy Past in Shadows Amidst Snowstorms: Act I.
He is distinguishable from the real Albedo by the lack of a golden star-shaped mark on his neck. He is a previous iteration of Albedo created by Rhinedottir as a result of her Primordial Human Project.

Introduction[]
Master's failed specimen in the dragon's belly—
This is where the story truly begins.—Albedo, The Shadows Deepen
Subject Two was the first version of Albedo made by Rhinedottir as a product of the Primordial Human Project, but was deemed a failed experiment and was eventually swallowed by Durin. Many years after Durin's death, Subject Two escaped the dragon's body, taking Dragonspine as his haunt. Seeing Albedo live among humans, Subject Two grew envious that a synthetic being was able to fully enjoy the human experience and began shadowing Albedo, concocting a plan to replace him.[4][5]
Subject Two created the Fellflower variant to distract Albedo, intending to eliminate the successful experiment and take his place when the time was right. However, the Traveler's abrupt arrival to Dragonspine foiled this plan. Sometime later, the Fellflower is dispatched of and after Albedo tells the Traveler about his star-shaped birthmark, Albedo notices that he is being watched by Subject Two from a cliff and goes to confront his impostor. The Traveler also suspected that something was off, but could not discern anything.[4][5]
Several days later, Albedo explains what happened in the form of a story, referring to himself as "Subject One," the imposter as "Subject Two," Fellflower Albedo as "Subject Three," and likening the Traveler to a gardener. Albedo does not specify Subject Two's fate and simply says that his plan to usurp Albedo's identity had failed.[5]
Albedo later reveals during an attack on Mondstadt that he had killed Subject Two when the latter confronted him, burying his body in Dragonspine. Monsters influenced by Durin's blood later recovered the body and brought the remains back to its stomach, where it absorbed the knowledge it had accumulated.[6]
