This incarnation of **Adam Robertson** is the main protagonist of ***"Another: The Call For Blood"***, as well as its **rewrite**.

Starting off as a Master of the Scottish branch of the **Assassin Brotherhood**, Adam was sent to the town of **Yomiyama** in Japan to rebuild the Japanese branch of the Brotherhood. In order to maintain his cover, Adam enrolled as a student at the local **middle school**, and was placed into **Class 3-3**. Unbeknownst to him, the class carried a dark secret, which is where the story picks up.

## Equipment

### **Former Equipment:**

* **Hidden Blade** - As an Assassin, Adam's most important piece of equipment, that he carried with him at all times, was his Hidden Blades. His skill with them was so great, and so frequent, that he considered them as an extension of his own arm. After he chose to leave Yomiyama to pursue the Brotherhood, Adam gave his two Hidden Blades to Yumi and Yukari, asking them to keep a hold of them for him. After he returned from Scotland, he was given the Blades back, where he then hid them away with the rest of his Assassin equipment. During the time he used the Blades, he made use of the various upgrades to the Blades, including:
	+ Grapple - During his time in Yomiyama, Adam made frequent use of the Blade's grapple function, using it to traverse over the rooftops of the city.
	+ Pistol - Despite its potential as a weapon, Adam almost never used the Blade's pistol attachment, with the only noticeable incident being when he let off a single shot to quell an argument between members of Class 3-3.
* **Knife -** Hidden in a sheath on his boot, Adam carries a combat knife, which he used against Tomohiko Kazami in a brief duel during Class 3-3's night at the inn.
* Throwing Knives - As part of his 'essentials', Adam almost always carried a set of throwing knives on his person.

## Abilities

* **Skilled Combatant -** Like most incarnations of Adam, the one in *A:TCFB* is a master combatant, as he took on two members of the Templar's Militia at the same time during the night at the inn, and despite taking a couple of blows, he managed to defeat them both. Later that same night, he also got into a fight with Anna Montgomery, who managed to pose a significantly higher challenge to him. His skill in combat even extends to fighting with blades, as he easily beat Tomohiko Kazami in a brief duel.
* **Supreme Agility -** As an Assassin, Adam was trained to have supreme agility, as he is able to free-run across the rooftops of Yomiyama easily. He demonstrated this most notably when he used the rooftops to reach the site of Takabayashi's death before the rest of the Countermeasures Group.
* **Marksman -** Despite never being shown using a gun, Adam has remarkable aim, as he demonstrated with his use of throwing knives during Class 3-3's night at the inn, when he used one to save Takako from strangling to death in cables. His aim is accurate enough that he can even hit a small squid in the head with a pebble, causing it to release Mei Misaki.
* **Improvisation -** Due to his Assassin training, Adam is a master of improvisation, as he is shown to constantly adapt to whatever situation arises. As with most of his abilities, he demonstrated this most notably during the night at the inn, as he quickly made use of a pool ball and cue as makeshift weapons against two soldiers of the Templar's Militia.
* **Pain Tolerance -** Adam has a high threshold for pain, as he is able to sustain many serious injuries throughout the course of *A:TCFB*. These include being struck and stabbed multiple times, being sent flying by an explosion, getting his hand impaled by glass shards, and dislocating multiple limbs. Despite all these, however, he simply gets back up and carries on.
* **Enhanced Reflexes -** As shown in the *Redux* edition of *A:TCFB*, Adam's reflexes are beyond those of a normal person, as he is able to move quick enough to catch and disarm a knife from Sasuke Mimura, and he could even catch the knife out of the air when Mimura threw it at him. Later, his reflexes were shown when he managed to dodge a punch thrown at him by Kenzou Kawahori, and quickly pinned the boy to the ground.
* **Trained Senses -** Thanks to his Assassin training, Adam's senses have been sharpened, making him an extremely sharp individual. His sight was good enough to spy a soldier shadowing him and Yukari, and his hearing was sharp enough to hear a branch snapping behind him, which allowed him to have the initiative to escape that same soldier.

## Goals

* Rebuild a branch of the Assassin Brotherhood in Japan *(formerly)*
* Survive the Calamity *(succeeded)*
* Protect Class 3-3 *(formerly; somewhat succeeded)*
* Eliminate the Scottish Assassins & Templars *(succeeded)*

## Crimes

* Mass Murder
* Treason

## Weaknesses

* **Honor** - While not as prevalent as his other incarnations, Adam still has a sense of honor, which can occasionally get in the way of him doing the right thing. The most notable example is when the dedication he had to the Assassin Brotherhood prevented him from fully committing to the protection of Class 3-3. However, after a number of deaths in the class, he eventually threw his dedication to the Creed aside, and vowed revenge on the Assassins for indirectly allowing innocent people to die.

* **Sasuke Mimura** *(Killed with his Hidden Blade)*
* Car Thief *(Stabbed in the neck with his Hidden Blade)*
