I think that the white mask with red markings is a sort of a folklore image of unstoppable evil in the RWBY world (a bit like the Jack O' Lantern to us). Adam wears that mask in the hope that it would scare any human guards enough for them not to be able to fight him properly and to scare non-combatant humans so they just run away.

That isn't to say that Adam may not turn out to be a pawn of the Grim, it's just that I'm not certain he has a direct connection with them, at least not yet, Blake's fears nonwitstanding.
