History
Adam dates back to the mid 16th century.
Throughout his life he has seen many things. Done many things. His childhood was about as ordinary as most children. Except for the fact that Adam loved adventure. He was always off doing something with friends, or getting in trouble with the local authorities. When Adam was was a teenager, he left his home and boarded a ship headed to Japan. Once there, he started off on the next stage of his adventurous life.
Shortly after arriving in Japan, Adam made friends with a local samurai. The man took Adam under his wing and began to train him in the ways of the samurai. Adam's skill progressed quickly, and soon he adopted the name Takezo Kensei. A name meaning 'Sword Saint' in the hopes some would think twice before challenging him. Things were going well until a strange Japanese man from the future showed up who would alter Adam's course of history irreparably. Hiro was the one that showed Adam his amazing ability and taught him how it would help make him a hero. Eventually, Adam and Hiro would face off, leading to what appeared to be Adam's death in a fiery explosion at Whitebeard's camp. But after the explosion, Adam escaped barely harmed and healed shortly after. It was that day that Adam burned it into his mind and would never forget what Hiro did to him.
In 1692, Adam spent time in Diedenshausen, Germany, where he met and married Helene. Going by the name of Hans Groelingheimer, after 20 years of marriage Helene began to notice her husband did not age. She ran off, calling him a devil only to die later in a nunnery.
Milan, Italy was Adam's next destination where he met up with Maria. She gave him two sons, which soon made him realize he didn't like kids. He left them with some sacks of potatoes, coins, and went on his way. He had several skirmishes with the Italian authorities, spent a few nights in jail, but eventually he left the country as a mercenary on a private ship.
In 1777, Adam's crew was contracted by the English to protect Port Arlesburgh during the Revolutionary War. It was during this time that Adam would meet one of his rivals. Evan. The man who could duplicate himself over and over again. Adam and Evan battled for some time, with Adam eventually falling off a cliff. But he would never forget that battle.
Headed back to Europe, he ended up in Paris, France where he met Frederica while using Jaquez De'Lefluer as an alias. But that wouldn't last long after Frederica's lost of lead-based cosmetics (Where was Avon when you needed them?) led to a quick and untimely death.
From there, Adam returned to Japan and began calling himself Tyang Li'ang. There he met Yumi, great granddaughter of Yaeko. It was an attempt to console and ease his feeling about Yaeko, but it didn't work. Adam faked his death by drowning and left for a new life.
Landing in the Northwest Territory in 1787, Adam began using his new name. Adam Monroe. It was here that he met Angelica. They were together for 62 years, before she died. Moving on, Adam made his way south.
And ended up in Atlanta, Georgia during the Civil War. Using his experience, Adam joined the Confederate Army as a Captain. The military knowledge he had gained over his lifetimes had allowed him to prove he was capable of the job. In the end he was on the losing side.
Turning to Canada, Adam went back to using the name Jaquez De'Lefluer. Residing in Montreal, he met Diane. A wife who would eventually contract a disease, and be healed by Adam's blood. But it wasn't meant to be and Adam soon returned to the United States.
Chicago, more specifically where he met Louisa. He was using the alias of Richard Sanders. This was short lived after she watched him regenerate an eye and spleen after a viscious mugging.
Between 1958 and 1977 Adam would appear around Los Angeles, California. Always with a different woman. Some that come to mind are Theresa (1958) and Trina (1977).
But near the end of 1977, Adam dropped off the face of the planet. This was when he was locked away by the Company.
In 2007 though, he managed to break out during a unique incident involving fire and other evolved persons.

Quotes
"Now, why don't you be a good little lapdog and go back to your dog house. I don't really want to have to hurt you and more than I have to."
"Why should I help a world that has kept me locked up for the last thirty years? When I could have been out there helping people. Think of the uses my regenerative blood could have."
