But that was Chishio's point. We now know better. The Adam/Ruby theory came into existence before we had much at all to go with; we've learned since then.

As to theories, there is a whole lot of circumstantial and narrative evidence that Vermillion is Yang's mother, and much less for any other possibility. The second, far-trailing option is that it's Summer, but there exists much evidence that she is dead, and narratively, it would be a poor decision. The other realistic option is that it's a new character entirely.

Everything other option is shaved away by parsimony.

As to the earlier, Bane is probably a cell leader, but Adam I cannot see as a commander. Rather, to me he's a troubleshooter/assassin/saboteur/operative, with no particular desire or aptitude for command.
