Adam O'Bedlam
Adam O'Bedlam is a member of the The Order of the Rose.[1]
Biography
Adam is a resourceful Wyrm hunter. He spent most of his young life in an Arizona mental hospital as a ward of the state. He had been sold to the Seventh Generation as a child, and suffered unspeakable horrors in rituals. The health care workers refused to believe his account of the molestation, and decided that Adam was a danger to other children. Instead of giving him expensive therapy, Seventh Generation members in the institution devised additional tortures designed to please the budget-conscious administrators. They initiated experiments designed to punish the boy's natural sexual responses with electric shocks, ammonia treatments and other forms of "aversion therapy."
This second cycle of abuse and betrayal drove Adam mad and shattered his personality into very different parts. He escaped the institution and fled. He spent a lot of time on the streets, but was always drawn back to psychiatric institutions, seeking to destroy the wicked people who hurt him. He became a very effective operative, and stopped some horrendous treatments. The Order of the Rose contacted him, and he gladly joined them. Now he operates out of New York.
One of his fragmented personas is a very effective guerrilla operative, but others are fearful and catatonic. His greatest fear is that his strong personalities will abandon him at a crucial point in a mission, and he will revert to a helpless child and die.
