Biography
Adam was the name given to an undead construct given life by Victor Frankenstein. In the year 1795, Victor Frankenstein sought to create life and so he constructed a human frame culled from parts from the bodies of the dead. Bringing his patchwork creation to life, he became instantly reviled by what he had done and sought to disassociate himself from it. The creature, desired a mate, so that he would not be eternally alone. When Frankenstein refused to build another creation, the monster took revenge by murdering Victor's young bride, Elizabeth. He likewise sought to kill his creator as well, but after coming upon him in the Arctic, found that the elements had done his job for him. He brought Victor's body home to Switzerland and buried it, along with his journal, which contained all of the notes of the monster's creation. After burying Frankenstein, he was approached by Demons that openly attacked him and knocked him unconscious. Before they could proceed with capturing him, they were attacked and Descended to Hell by members of the Gargoyle order. Three Gargoyles helped the monster dispatch the demons and then brought him before Lenore, the Gargoyle queen. Lenore recognized the man's value and bequeathed him a human name - Adam. Adam agreed to help the Gargoyles in their centuries-long shadow war against the demons. When offered his choice of weapons to aid him in this endeavor, he opted for escrima sticks.
Although Adam broke ties with the Gargoyles, he continued to fight up against the demon hordes wherever he found them, down through the centuries. Adam turned up in a European city in the modern era and vanquished several more enemies. His actions caught the attention of billionaire industrialist Charles Wessex, who was in fact a demon-prince known as Naberius. Naberius had been working on an ambitious process to duplicate Victor Frankenstein's experiments and infuse the bodies of corpses with the souls of demons in order to create his own undead army. This also reunited Adam with the Gargoyles. Lenore knew that Adam still had his creator's journal and they obtained it from him, insuring that they would keep it safe from Naberius.
Overview
Personality and attributes
In this time, he was prone to retribution such as when he killed Victor Frankenstein's fiancé Elisabeth. Despite his views on Frankenstein, he buried him with respect but felt that it was more than he had deserved.
Powers and abilities
Originally, he was corpse that had been re-animated by the experiments of Victor Frankenstein who empowered him through a lightning bolt. Due to his nature, he was not human and had abilities greater than a mortal. This allowed him to survive the harsh cold of the elements without any harm or damage. It was this trait that made him an excellent fighter able to wield weapons too strong for ordinary humans.
As an artificially generated human being, Adam was forever young.
Although Adam never received any particular type of training or discipline when it comes to physical combat, his size, speed and durability make up for his lack of skill. As such, he has had over two centuries to hone his combat fighting techniques.
