Alby {Maze Runner}
One of the first to arrive in the Glade, Alby is the oldest resident and leader of the Gladers. His experience and deep commitment to order keep the Glade running smoothly, though this dedication often feeds the perception that he is harsh or mean. Alby displays the importance of order at all costs when he launches an arrow at Ben and carries out Ben’s Banishment for his attack on Thomas. Even his physical appearance, with his short, cropped hair and clean-shaven face, reflect his need for order. In spite of his reliance on order, Alby takes the other boys’ viewpoints into account when they differ from his own. Alby’s occasional vulnerability and breakthrough jokes show that he maintains his humanity despite the seriousness of his role.

His offer to step down from his leadership role further establishes that Alby values
