Adam

Also called The Betrayer. Adam is a Guardian – specifically, of the Broken—What remains of the Saqalu. They still wield the awesome power they always did, but they are no longer… stable.

He is ancient and mysterious; like all Broken, he has four wings with the power to stop any attack and nullify magic. His wings and hair are solid black, and his skin is tawny gold. He’s quite mad, but all the Broken are. He makes his first appearance in Half-Shell Prophecies, and he is one of Notte’s oldest friends. In fact, no one really knows how old he is; the creation of the Saqalu, who were once among the noblest beings in our world. Now, they are the Broken.

Adam is one of the few Broken who’s maintained enough sanity to be able to move among the living every once in a while. Adam lives in Meginnah, an unknown fifth parallel world, populated by the Guardians who went mad after the First War. His struggle is to disbelieve the Guardian fantasy that the living can never be truly protected as long as they’re alive. Uh-oh.
