According to Alba, in 2009, Barack Obama had been horny for him. The exact nature of this relationship, and the circumstances that led to it, are unclear. The same year, Querco's brother, Quercus Alba, as well as Obama and Protagonist, had been in a love triangle, in which Protagonist was Obama's rival for Quercus's love; Querco's connection to this love triangle, if any, is also unclear. However, Querco apparently rejected Obama's advances, leading Obama to hate the concept of horniness and eventually create the Anti-Horny Bill.

In 2019, Quercus Alba, the Allebahstian ambassador to the United States at the time, was arrested for and eventually convicted of several crimes, including the murder of Manny Coachen, having been relieved of his duties as ambassador on the day of his arrest. The formerly-split countries of Allebahst and Babahl were reunited into Cohdopia in the aftermath of Quercus's case, with Colias Palaeno becoming the Cohdopian ambassador to the United States. However, it seems as if they had once again split up sometime later, as in any case Quercus was serving as the Allebahstian ambassador to the United States once more by 2028, apparently while still in prison.

In 2028, Quercus escaped from prison and went missing. The day after his brother's escape, Querco took over as the Ambassador of Allebahst in the United States. As Querco was the former ambassador's brother, he had "basically got in through nepotism", according to Stealphie. He owned his office in the Place Where Laws Are Made, where he worked with his aide, Protagonist. By 2029, he had seemingly gone insane, apparently from old age, and was constantly chanting "Quercus Alba", ostensibly because he missed his brother.

On April 20, 2029, Alba's aide, Protagonist, was planned to testify in a meeting at the Place Where Laws Are Made about the Anti-Horny Bill. Alba was also attending the meeting, and was one of the first to show up there. However, Protagonist ended up failing to testify, as both Protagonist and Obama died that day.

Apollo Justice, who was defending clem, met Alba for the first time in his office during his investigation. After they had a brief conversation, Stealphie explained to Justice how Alba was insane, and the circumstances of his becoming ambassador. Stealphie soon left, as Quercus was apparently spotted in the area, and Justice, left to investigate on his own, discovered a switch in the back of a shelf that revealed a hidden room in Querco's office; entering the hidden room, Justice discovered Protagonist's body.

During the trial, Justice eventually revealed that Protagonist and Lauren had both been conspiring to assassinate Obama, and after Obama had been killed, Lauren killed Protagonist to silence him. After the trial was over, Justice encountered Alba for the second time in the defendant lobby, where he learned that Alba was not actually insane. Alba woefully asked why Obama, who had been horny for him 20 years earlier, had created the Anti-Horny Bill. Justice explained that Obama had likely come to hate horniness because Alba hadn't accepted him. Alba tearfully said "Sad" before departing.

On the surface, Ambassador Alba appeared to be an insane old man, who missed his brother and so constantly said his name. This was a facade, however, as he was perfectly capable of normal speech. However, it is unclear exactly why he initially appeared insane. He is seen to remain reminiscent of the past, and upon learning Obama's motivation for creating the Anti-Horny Bill remarked on its sadness. Considering his comments, it is likely that he opposes the bill.
