===5th century BCE===
Some time after 465 BCE,Assassin's Creed: Odyssey – Legacy of the First Blade: Bloodline – Shadow of a Legend once Amorges became a leader of the Order of the Ancients,Assassin's Creed: Odyssey – Legacy of the First Blade: Bloodline – Protector of Persia he was awarded The Sword of Kings, a sword crafted from adamantine.

Around 422 BCE, the blade was broken in a battle between Amorges, his former comrade Darius, and the Spartan misthios Kassandra, and Amorges was killed.Assassin's Creed: Odyssey – Legacy of the First Blade: Bloodline – Legacy of the First Blade (memory) Kassandra claimed what remained of the sword and took it to an artisan blacksmith near the Oikos of the Olympians in Phokis. The smith was one of the few people who knew what adamantine was and how to forge with it. After collecting the Ancients' necklaces from all members, Kassandra had enough adamantine to repair the sword.
Shortly afterward, Kassandra experienced a simulation of Atlantis created by the Isu Aletheia, where Kassandra encountered adamant in both its raw and processed form. While exploring the city, she met Elpis, the human lover of the Archon Atlas, and was tasked with acquiring raw adamant from the Adamant Metallon without being seen.Assassin's Creed: Odyssey – The Fate of Atlantis: Judgment of Atlantis – Most Adamantly After Kassandra delivered the raw ore, Elpis used it to construct an Isu device which turned her into a hybrid, hoping that it would allow her to be seen by Atlas as an equal.
===Modern times===
In January 2012, the head of Future Technology, Álvaro Gramática researched the Shroud of Eden and analyzed the cloth's microscopic fibers. He dubbed the alloy that made up the material "pathorica", and compared his findings to other Pieces of Eden, noting their similar make up.
==Behind the scenes==
Adamant's name is derived from the Greek word ἀδάμας and its genitive ἀδάμαντος (adamas and adamantos), often translated as 'indomitable, untameable'. and similar words, like "adamantium", are commonly used to refer to any especially hard substances.
