Background / History

Adkins was born the son of a count and lived in luxury with his parents, father, and family butler Bernas, both Rank 9 experts. Before he turned five, assassins of the Ryan family massacred his household. Bernas escaped with him through a secret passage, leaving Adkins orphaned and hunted. 1

Huosi later encountered Adkins and Bernas while they were being pursued. Recognizing Adkins' exceptional potential, Huosi saved them and took Adkins under his wing. Adkins eventually swore eternal loyalty to Huosi before the Supreme God. 2 20

As Huosi's researcher and trusted subordinate, Adkins helped introduce scientific technology to Xuanshen Island. He created a steam train, developed the Gatling machine gun, and supported the commercialization of Academy products among students and noble families. 1 3

Personality

Adkins is intensely loyal to Huosi, whom he regards as the savior who transformed both his life and his prospects. His loyalty persists despite the rise of stronger companions such as Pusiluo, Leilin, Beirut, and Linley. 20 153

He is generally level-headed in administration and research, but becomes openly furious when Huosi or Blue Star City's interests are insulted. He retains a vain, competitive streak, especially when challenged by Pusiluo or when finally gaining enough power to surprise his companions. 4 9 35 153
