As the centuries passed, she and her father helped all of the leaders of the Hathaway coven by protecting them and guiding them. Before her death, she was romantically involved with Scott Aldridge and moved to Seaside with him. In September of 1994, her father and sister returned since they had to protect their coven for an unknown reason. This later led to her death, since she mentioned she had to protect her family and an unknown person. It was later revealed she was reincarnated as Lillian Rezza.

== History ==
Born to Isabella Hartford and Francis Hathaway, Adelaide was the younger twin sister of Claire. By then, her father was a turned hybrid, her mother a witch. Sadly, Isabella died from birth complications after birthing the twins, Francis had tried to turn her, but hybrid's could not turn others into vampires. So, she was raised by her father, who was very protective of his daughters, and trained them to become powerful witches. She married Jacobi, and had twins with him, Maxwell and Sonia. Afterwards, she got ill and was about to die before Orion forcefully turns her at her sister's behest, From then on out, she was full of anger and rage of what he had done to her. It led her to lose control and when Jacobi found out, they agreed to split and send the children away, but Francis only allowed him to take Sonia. This led to a terrible tragedy when Sonia grew up and wanted to be like her mother, a powerful hybrid. She refused her, so she tricked Orion and got his blood. 
In a rage once she got her way, she turned Jacobi, knowing it would kill him. She did this to spite her mother however she only turned her entire family against her and they tried to kill her since she was foretold by her aunt years ago she would bring the end to their family, that was why she was initially sent away and to be raised human. After her husband's death, she left England with her son and family to start a new life. Overtime, rumors began to circulate that Sonia was planning to kill her mother and her aunt so she had enough power to destroy the coven. Centuries later, Claire and Orion apparently found a loop hole to one day destroy Sonia for good, but they had to be reborn so Sonia would stop hunting them.
