Honestly, while the 'Adam is similar to Grim because of similarity of masks' assumption is quite well, I don't understand why Adam has to be a bad influence to Blake. If anything, Adam has proven again and again (even though not through words) like when he saved her from the Spider Droid, and showed his reluctance when Blake left him, that he cares a lot for Blake. It is even possibly implied during the opening that he's watches over Blake from the dark and protects her.

Just cut the guy some slack, god damn it.
