I dont understand why you're telling me to look it up when i just did it. I literally quoted Albedo's own words from the event and he clearly explains which subject is which.

Albedo: A great alchemist once created Subject One. Subject One was her proudest achievement, and successfully blended into human society. No one ever would have thought that this friend of theirs was in fact a synthetic human.
Subject 1 = Albedo
Albedo: However, unbeknownst to Subject One, the alchemist had tried the same experiment many times before he had come into being. Some of the rejects from failed experiments had been discarded, but had not died. Subject Two was one such failed experiment. He was swallowed by a great dragon that came to rest upon a snowswept mountain. Many years later, he was resurrected by the dragon's mysterious power.
-Now, all that
Subject Two desired was to replace Subject One and take the joy of his existence for himself.
-Subject Two began to unfold his plan.
He stole Subject One's books and notes and studied all that Subject One had learned from the alchemist.

-But Subject Two wanted to become a perfected human. So,

"Primordial" Albedo (unofficial name) is a quest-exclusive NPC who appeared in the Version 2.3 event Shadows Amidst Snowstorms. He is distinguishable from the real Albedo by the lack of a golden star-shaped marking on his neck. He is a previous iteration of Albedo created by Rhinedottir as a...

Subject 2 is a completely different character and he never meets albedo during the event, i have no idea why you think he agreed to let Albedo turn him into the kid's father, when the cutscene and Albedo imply he is still out there ("Subject Two did not succeed. But you can never let your guard down on Dragonspine.") Its theorized that the albedo we see coming from the cave was subject 2 (the one who says "Humans only care about things that are good").
Besides, leakers (grain of salt as usual) said there is more albedo lore incoming and that Subject 2 name is Dorian so he's bound to come back as a threat again.
