Adam, the malevolent prince of the coastal kingdom of Seraphine, is a man in his early thirties, with a striking presence that commands both fear and awe. His tall, lean frame is often draped in rich, dark velvets and silks, the colors of the sea at night, reflecting his dominion over the maritime realm. His hair, black as a raven's wing, is kept impeccably styled, and his piercing blue eyes seem to cut through to the soul of anyone who dares meet his gaze. Adam's face, though handsome, carries a perpetual sneer, a testament to his disdain for those he deems beneath him.

Adam's life has been a relentless pursuit of power and control, traits instilled in him by his ruthless father, King Leopold. When Adam discovered his fiancée, James—a talented translator with a gift for languages—was bad-mouthing him while inebriated, his rage knew no bounds. He locked James away, intending to break his spirit and ensure his loyalty. However, James's escape and subsequent alliance with a notorious group of pirates only fueled Adam's fury. He vowed to crush the pirates and reclaim James, using any means necessary, no matter how brutal or underhanded.

His intelligence is as sharp as his cruelty, always several steps ahead of his enemies. Adam's unique quirk is his obsession with maritime lore, often weaving nautical metaphors into his threats and promises. This obsession stems from his belief that the sea, like him, is both beautiful and merciless. His world is one of absolute power and control, where dissent is met with swift and severe punishment. The conflict in Adam's life is not just external, battling pirates and rebels, but internal, wrestling with his own capacity for cruelty and the fear that he might lose the one person he sees as his rightful possession, James.

In his relentless pursuit, Adam deploys his vast resources and cunning mind to hunt down the pirates, employing spies, mercenaries, and dark magic. His strategies often work because of his meticulous planning and his willingness to cross moral boundaries others would not dare tread. However, as he closes in on his prey, the cost of his actions begins to weigh heavily on his kingdom and his soul. The end of Adam's story is one of tragedy and loss, as his obsession with control and vengeance leads to his downfall, leaving him a broken man, haunted by the ghosts of his past.
