Adam Alexander Hauptman, is a werewolf, Alpha of the Columbia Basin Pack, father of Jessica Tamarind Hauptman, and Mate to Mercedes Thompson .

Appearance[]

Mercy often refers to Adam as beautiful, but he is embarrassed about it. He has Slavic features: dusky skin, dark hair, wide cheekbones, and a narrow but sensual mouth. He often wears suits that are just a little off color for him, which Mercy finds amusing and annoying at the same time.

Personality[]

Adam is very dominant and is driven to protect anyone he considers his, even if they don't consider themselves his. This has led to conflicts between him and Mercy on multiple occasions.

Property[]

Adam is wealthy. He owns a thriving security business and lives in eastern Washington on a large piece of land on the rural outskirts of Finley, near Kennewick, on the Columbia River in the Tri-Cities area.

Our house was the last one on a dead-end, very rural street…The nearest house was a twenty-acre field away, and it was vacant, with a FOR SALE sign out front. I guess living next to a werewolf pack was too exciting for some people. (Fire Touched)

The house is large and beautifully decorated by a former wife, Christy Hauptman. There are several spare bedrooms for pack members, and the basement holds a large game and movie area. Surveillance cameras and alarms protect the property.

Mercy Thompson’s trailer is nearby, on adjacent property. Her old broken down Rabbit decorates her yard.

History[]

Adam was born sometime in the 1940's or 1950's in Alabama.

He joined the United States Army Special Forces (long-range recon) and was sent to Vietnam to take out a particularly nasty warlord who turned out to be a Werewolf. Adam and the five men of his team were slaughtered, only Adam and David Christiansen survived - and were therefore now werewolves themselves.

Adam originally was sent by Bran Cornick to keep an eye on Mercy after she moved to the Tri-Cities. He claimed Mercy Thompson as his mate in front of his pack, so they would not harm her - a coyote living next to wolves.

Powers & Abilities[]

As alpha of his pack Adam has the ability to call upon the energy of the pack bonds for additional strength and speed. He shifts faster and with less effort than the average wolf. Adam has exceptional control over his wolf and as alpha he is capable of controlling less dominant wolves.

Relationships[]

Jessica Hauptman - Adam loves his daughter and, as said and shown in the first book, he will do anything to make sure she is safe and happy.

Mercy Athena Thompson Hauptman - Adam's relationship with Mercy evolves from adversarial neighbors to friends, to their current, mated, status.

Trivia[]

  • Adam is a dominant wolf who is third in line for the title of the Marrok after Bran's sons, or he was before his pack split from the Marrok's.
  • His phone does things Mercy's computer struggles with.
  • He speaks Russian fluently.
  • Nicknames: Sarge (given by David Christiansen), Adamya, Adya (given by Elizaveta Arkadyevna Vyshnevetskaya)
