Adrian Everhart

***Spoiler Warning***

*This article contains major plot details from the Renegades series.*

## History

### **Pre-Series**

Adrian's power manifested the first time he was handed a crayon. His scribbles came to life and squiggled around his apartment.

While a toddler, he created lines that believed they were dinosaurs and aliens. Those scribbles always tried to chomp down on people's toes when they were walking around. His mother, Lady Indomitable thought it would be a good idea to hire an art teacher to give Adrian drawing lessons.

### *Renegades*

Adrian first appears at the Renegade Parade after returning Nova's stolen bracelet and fixing the link.

He later appears as the Sentinel when the Renegades were fighting Nightmare, who'd tried to assassinate the Captain at the parade. During the fight, he accidentally burnt Monarch and Nightmare got away after putting him to sleep. However, due to being the Sentinel at the time, nobody knew he was there. He developed an immense interest in Nightmare and becomes determined to fight her after she says, *"One cannot be brave who has no fear,"* which were the same words found on his mother's dead body years earlier.

At Headquarters, he visited Danna and becomes guilty after seeing she was hurt. He is informed that Ruby received the gun Nightmare had used and that it was sold by Gene Cronin, a former weapons dealer. The Council wants to send someone to the library to investigate, so Adrian volunteers.

He visits the Renegades trials and chooses Nova to join the team, purely based on "intuition." He was elated after Nova defeated Gargoyle in a challenge by Genissa Clark.

Later that night, he gave himself a laser tattoo, an idea he'd gotten from Max. The next morning, he meets Nova and finds himself inexplicably drawn to her. He gives her a tour and is surprised by her curiosity. Unbeknownst to him, Nova was undercover and was actually Nightmare.

They tour the training hall and after the slight test from Danna, he is impressed by Nova's observational skills.

Nova later meets Max and becomes determined to find out what his power is after Adrian responds, "It's classified." He then gives her a communicator and tells her about the Gene Cronin case. As Nova is Nightmare and is worried immensely about Gene being arrested (therefore cutting off their main weapon supply), she visits the Anarchists and requests that Ingrid hide the weapons they're keeping. Ingrid agrees but later betrays Nova.

They set up camp in an office building across from the library. Nova and Adrain then share a moment on the roof, in which he develops feelings for her.

### *Archenemies*

*This section is **incomplete** and requires expansion. You can help the Renegades Wiki by expanding it.*

In *Archenemies,* Adrian was still working hard to keep his secret identity concealed. He starts to date Nova in this book.

### *Supernova*

In the beginning of *Supernova,* Adrian found out via Danna that Nova is Nightmare. He is the one that arrests her after her house explodes. Later in the book, when it is "proven" that Nova is "innocent," he apologizes and welcomes her back to the Renegades. He revealed himself as a the Sentinel to his dads, and Nova (as Nightmare) saw. Not soon after, he got kidnapped by Nova and Honey, who tortured him. He is sentenced to death by Ace to make Captain Chromium and the Dread Warden feel heartbroken. However, he survives and forgives Nova.

## Description via Marissa Meyer

*"Adrian is the adopted child of Captain Chromium and the Dread Warden, two of the original Renegades. Adrian’s superpower is that he can make anything he draws real—which may not sound all that tough, but comes in more handy than you might think. Recently he’s become obsessed with catching a villain who goes by the name Nightmare after she attempted to assassinate one of his dads. Adrian is the leader of his Renegade squad, and his friends respect his sense of morality and justice. But he also has a big secret he hasn’t told any of them yet . . ."*
