Personality: Adam is a man of calm disposition, but reservation. He doesn't talk about himself much as he needs to keep up the charade of being just some random merc looking for work.

But underneath that gruff and distant exterior beats the noble heart of a potential King and he often stumbles over his noble roots when dealing with his comrades.
Likes: Earning his keep, glory, women, fighting, good food and good drink.
Dislikes: Politics, failure, going into the Dominion, getting too close to people.
Background: Born the third son of King Argyle Dova, Adam was raised with the old saying a King only needs an heir and a spare. He was the third one and despite getting mostly all the same training and education as his brothers he was never groomed for leadership.
He was the product of a drunken new years night between the King and Queen. Unexpected, but legitimate and early on his mother's favorite. His brothers Gregor and Nikolas were always busy with their lessons and training and young Adam was always left alone. And Queen Moira, being the nurturer she was took little Adam under her wing and put him through her own courses. Putting etiquette and artistic training above "sword and sweating" as she called it. Though he still attended those lessons, he spent more time learning to be a gentleman than a general.
He carried on like this for years and he became quite good at everything he was taught. But unlike his brothers he had no greater purpose beyond being another Courtier. Gregor would be the King and Nikolas was the leader of the Royal Guards. Adam had no purpose, he was the mistake. It haunted him, but one thing that kept him going were the tales of Dagur Harken. A son like him forced to away from his intended life to find his own destiny. As a boy these tales were what kept him going and honestly saved him from going the route of most third sons of being a drunkard or womanizer.
And when he reached the age of twenty the plan formulated in his mind. Taking a page from Dagur's book. He grew his hair out and vanished from the castle, he joined the Rogue's Gallery and have been with them for ten years quietly earning a name for himself and doing his damnedest to keep his identity a secret.
