Who is Alby?

Alby

The leader of the Gladers, Alby has authority over much of what goes on in the Glade. He is hot-headed but experienced. Only a few Gladers, those who have been there the longest like Minho, ever see fit to question Alby's decisions. After being stung by a Griever, Alby undergoes the Changing and becomes convinced that they should not return to the outside world. He wishes to stay in the Glade and even tries to sabotage an escape plan by burning the maps drawn by the Runners. Alby dies during the escape attempt by throwing himself onto a Griever.
