Adam first appeared in ''[[Halo Wars]]'' as a civilian character in the level [[Arcadia City]]. The achievement [[The Real Winner]] requires the player to save Adam by finding him in the city subway system, freeing him, and escorting him to [[Cargo 2]]. Adam dies immediately if he is shot or damaged by any enemy, making his survival one of the more difficult achievements to unlock. | |||
