## History

### Early Life

Adam Hawkins was raised in his home town of Giffnock, Glasgow, Scotland by his hard working and well respected parents John and Mary Hawkins. His early years were ones filled with endless hours of learning and reading, largely influenced by his mother Mary, a well respected teacher in the local school system. When not consuming a large amount of literature Adam could be found in the local woods and quarry playing "Cops and Robbers" with his younger brother Ricky Hawkins. His father, John, a Strathclyde Police Constable instilled in Adam a strong sense of social responsibility.

This stable and consistent upbringing afforded Adam the chance to pursue a degree in Anthropology and Behavioural Science.

Owing to his experiences in his previous employment Adam found it a relatively simple task to procure employment in various law enforcement organisations but wanted to travel one last time. He struck out towards the USA, working in a few Police Departments developing experience of American policing, eventually working his way up to Captain of Police before landing in Quiet City.

### Joining QCPD

Adam requested a transfer to QCPD as Detective, which was accepted by then Captain, Jimmy Tenpenny. Adam wanted a return to boots on the ground policing and solving challenging cases. This proved to be a good move and there was ample opportunity to prove himself and solve numerous cold and in progress cases.

### Promotion to Chief

Following the immediate fallout of the events that later constituted the case of Quiet City v. Jimmy Tenpenny, Adam was selected to take office as the Chief of Police with Leah LaRoux taking the Captain role. This division of responsibility and labour has enabled a consistent and strong improvement in QCPD operations and outlook.

Whilst in post, Adam has been influential in seeing a burgeoning recruitment drive bringing in a dedicated and impressive new generation of recruits. Owing the success of the program largely to the FTO's and Captain Leah LaRoux's continued mentorship and leadership.

Adam continues in his role of Chief of Police enjoying a thriving career and friendships within QCPD.

### Murder of Ricky Hawkins

Adam's younger brother Ricky Hawkins flew into Quiet City to visit after hearing about Adam's promotion to Chief of Police. Adam and Ricky spent some time together and caught up on missed events and the latest happenings among the Hawkins extended family. Unfortunately, Adam's one-time friend and now hardened criminal and gang leader Alex Rambo got wind of Ricky's arrival to Quiet City. Alex had been seeking a way to reinforce their reputation and prove once and for all that they were a force to be reckoned with, especially to QCPD. To this end, Alex kidnapped Ricky and brought him to the garage that Alex owned/worked from. Adam received news of the kidnapping and hastily headed to the location while backup was en-route.

When entering the garage Adam could see in front of him his younger brother kneeling in front of a visibly angry and upset Alex. Holding a gun pointed directly at the back of Ricky's head, Alex shouted at the approaching Adam to stop and lower his weapon. Adam could not comply knowing that both his life and his brothers would be forefeit if he did so.

Alex took this a direct and flagrant disregard for their seriousness and ability to commit harm. Alex pulled the trigger of their weapon and Ricky was struck in the back of the head by the bullet. Backup arrived shortly after and apprehended Alex while Adam rushed to hospital holding an unconscious Ricky. Unfortunately Ricky passed due to extreme blood loss and gunshot trauma.
