His sudden appearence in Breach, absence beforehand, and the fact that Cinder basically leads the WF herself,  leads me to believe that Adam had gone rouge/left the WF establishment for a time.

That, coupled with the "They'll listen to me" at the end of Breach, implies, at least to myself, that he has influence to the point where he can simply show up and be given basically whatever he wants, including a leadership position. Cinder doesn't lead the WF, the reaon the WF are even listening to them is due to Adams handywork. (that's what we learned in VOL 2)

So he's likely just up in the ranks, and an "ally" of Cinder.
