Adamantite

*"One would tremble about what inhuman thoughts lie behind that iron mask... who would dream of performing such barbaric-- extreme cruelty against another human being?"*

*-- Unknown U.N. Cadet describing Adamantite*

Edit

**Adamantite** (usually addressed by **Adam** for short) is a seasoned mercenary that is employed in Cerberus Contracting Co. and holds the rank of Commander within the PMC and is the creator of many machines within Cerberus. Most notably the Leonidas Project.

Adam is the mentor of Cassandra Knox-- otherwise known as Red Queen.

## Physical Description

Adam stands at six feet eleven inches tall, taller than any of the operatives. He is bald with a black-grey moderate beard for facial hair along with jade green eyes.

He has fair skin complexion and his face and torso are decorated with scars due to his past of explosions and combat, his physical status is in upkeep and is in excellent condition due to his very strong physique. A tattoo of an six-winged ouroboros symbol is visible on the back of his neck which the tattoo is black in color.

## Equipment/Attire

He is usually seen wearing his custom made suit when in combat operations, the suit is comprised of multiple metals and the faceplating of the eyes glows.

Other than his suit he usually likes having no upper attire on, other than combat pants and combat boots on for lower attire whilst at the Vault.

## Personality

Adamantite is a very patient individual when it comes to it-- but he has zero tolerance when it comes to unprofessionalism and the liking (irresponsible behavior, immaturity, defiance etc.) within Cerberus. He is usually seeing being a mentor-figure or even a father-figure to those within the R&D division, though this can be viewed as questionably creepy to those outside of it.

## Arsenal

### Primary Weapons

#### AD26 'Adonis' Heavy Pulse Rifle

The AD26 Pulse Rifle is a heavy pulse rifle that fires 80 rounds of railgun pulses before having to reload. It is equipped with a kinetic masterkey and a hybrid sight with ACOG x4/x8 and iron sight.

#### Modified USP Tactical

Adam also has modified a USP Tactical .45 with custom mechanics and armor piercing castle rounds-- easily able to take down most opposing forces if landing a shot.

### Secondary Weapons

#### M202A2

Adamantite has a stolen M202A2, a powerful Anti-Armor four barrel rocket launcher that is able to take down most armored vehicles in two rockets. This is practically every armored vehicles nightmare. This weapon is mainly situational, rarely used.

#### Modified SPAS-12

He has a modified Franchi SPAS-12 that is capable of shredding through infantry like a meat grinder-- though Adam does not use this particular weapon very often-- but is first thing that he goes for when it comes to extra weaponry.

### Auxiliary Weapons

#### Skinning Knife

Behind the scenes, Adam dones a oversized skinning knife that he uses to intimidate, interrogate and torture people with who have been captured by Cerberus. This knife is usually used in combination with a blowtorch to superheat the blade and cause unbelievable pain to the victim.

## Notes

Adamantite is **extremely dangerous** and will not hesitate to engage in hostile actions with Non-Cerberus personnel; especially those who may harm the Director.

He is usually the one who tortures and interrogates his victims and the outcome usually results in **dismemberment, disembowelment, decapitation and flaying** of those who are unfortunate enough to be captured by Cerberus. It is advised to take extreme caution against this operative for not only his sophisticated creations but his physique, deadly actions and his skill in combat.

Adam is renown for being a tried and tested battle commander, seasoned with leading and handling situations of which utilizes in unorthodox tactics and maneuvers to win in combat unlike normal battle plans.

When in a test of skill and strength, Adam seems to be on equal level of the former CSOC Blake Myles.

## Background

Adamantite has never told his story to anyone, even the upper echelon [Director, Deputy Director] only know so much. All we know so far is that:

* He has a degree in Engineering
* He has a degree in Psychology
* He served in the APD as a Captain

Where he discovered his skills in torture and interrogation is unknown but seems to be extremely proficient at it-- if not, the best. Adamantite is very notorious in the parts of the world where he is known in due to his brutal “presents” he sometimes sends back to military bases. The most notable being the death of General Jones of the USMC who was skinned, disemboweled and his abdomen was filled with numerous variants of explosives and stitched shut again; afterwards he was shipped back to a nearby FOB where his corpse blew up several minutes upon arrival
