Alberto Scorfano is a main character in Luca.

Alberto Scorfano is the deuteragonist of the 2021 Disney/Pixar animated feature film, Luca. He is a sea monster that lives on Isola del Mare, an Italian island, with no parental guardian. Alberto helps Luca escape to Portorosso and enter the Portorosso Cup so they can buy a Vespa and see the world together.

Background

Alberto Scorfano is an independent, free-spirited 14-year-old sea monster with unbridled enthusiasm for the human world. Expressive and gregarious, he is all about having fun, so inviting a fellow sea monster to hang out above the surface is a no-brainer for Alberto. Besides, Luca is the perfect audience for Alberto’s vast – albeit questionable – knowledge of all things human.

Personality

Alberto proudly prizes his knowledge of the human world and, in being alone for so many days in the lighthouse, was instantly eager to share it all with Luca. He rarely takes things seriously and is all about having fun, a trait that stays solid within him throughout the entire film. One of his dreams was to ride a Vespa, a special scooter depicted in a poster he had collected and stored in his home.

After meeting Luca, Alberto insisted on taking the lead. Having an opportunity at making a friend gave him the chance to tell the younger sea monster everything he knew about the humans, despite Luca's dislike of being told what to do. Seeing Luca and Giulia bonding over common interests made Alberto feel downcast as he didn't want to lose Luca, who was his only friend. This was because Alberto's family abandoned him as a child after believing he was old enough to live on his own. The isolation led him to feel incredibly lonely, to the point where he can become possessive and angry at people, believing they will leave him and will be alone again if he doesn't keep them close.

By the end of the movie, however, he is more considerate of Luca and even sells the Vespa he's always dreamed of having to give Luca a ticket to Genoa. He formed a close bond to Massimo, who becomes a surrogate father figure to him, and was willing to stay in Portorosso with him while Luca could be happy in Genoa going to school with Giulia.

Physical appearance

In human form, Alberto is slender and muscular with tan skin and light freckles, bright green eyes, and curly, golden-brown hair that is styled tall and has a cowlick. He wears a yellow tank top with brown shorts held up with a rope, and is barefoot all the time.

Sea monster form

In sea monster form, Alberto has periwinkle scales, sharp teeth, and purple "hair". His eyes are still green, but they have light yellow-green sclera and oval shaped pupils. He also has a long tail with purple caudal fins, however, his fins are noticeably sharper and more angular than Luca's.

Alberto has a scar on his upper left arm, presumably by a harpoon. In human form it's a barely noticeable pale marking, while in his sea monster form it appears as a cut.

Powers and Abilities

• Human transformation: Alberto is able to appear as human when out of contact with water. He is usually shown this shaking off the water on his skin. If Alberto gets in contact with water, it will revert him back into a sea monster.
• Enhanced swimming: When as a sea monster, Alberto is able to swim at a great speed.
