So, taking into account episode one, I suggest looking by first looking at the line of Blake's song "treated like a worthless animal/stripped of all rights/just a lesser being/crushed by cruel ruthless human rule" Adam and Blake alternate between singing so this line implying that both of them are members of an oppressed group. In the first episode there is a group called White Fang, I think that Adam and Blake were members of that group. The group was reportedly "once peaceful" and is introduced as having interrupted a faunist civil right's protest. This could be because the group used to be a normal faunist civil rights group that has become more aggressive for some reason or another. Possibly because they feel that the only way they will no longer be oppressed is through violence.

This was reinforced for me by the opening line of Blake's trailer "Your hopes have become my burden. I will find my own liberation..." The hopes could be referencing the White Fang's ultimate goals in regards to Faun rights and the liberation Blake speaks of could be her decision that she could no longer stand beside the group's principles. Which is reinforced by her concern for the people on the train.
