Adam was possibly one of the youngest members of the white fang when he faced whatever tragedy that led to his hatred of humans. At some point after this tragedy, members of the Albains cult approached him and filled him with their philosophical view on how Faunus were the superior species of Remnant, and that humans should be put to death for their cruelty. This brainwashing, combined with his mental ilness, led to Adam becoming the monster we all know and fear. True monsters aren't born, they're forged. While I do think that there's definitely a high possibility that Adam's past had a tragedy, I think that Blake pretty much hit the nail on the head, when she said that Adam embodied spite, and in a way, almost like the kind of spite you'd see in petulant children. Obviously he doesn't want the Belladonnas' interfering, but the last thing he said in his message harkens back to what he told Blake: that he'd make it his mission destroy everything Blake loves (which he attempted to do to Yang).
