Adam is Gaston. They said that back in volume 3. I could've sworn they said something about General Lagune being Gaston, though, not Adam.

Adam is still on every aspect a darker version of Gaston, like him he's a vain and narcissist guy who's viewed as a hero by his people until they see his true colors, he's obsessed with Blake and extremely possessive of her, unable to understand why she left him just like Gaston is unable to understand why Belle rejected him and became more violent after it, being unable to see his own flaws and faults and rejecting the fault on others. Both are willing to target Blake/Belle's loved ones after the rejection.

Also like Gaston Adam is cunning to a degree but is far from being as intelligent as he thinks he is and is a poor strategist and tactician.

This makes even more sense because Gaston is basically what the Beast would have been without his qualities and his flaws taken to a greater degree.
