Volume 6 Adam Character Short

Willing to strike down anyone who gets in the way of his twisted version of justice, Adam has declared to fight for the rights of his people, but over the years he's strayed further and further from these idealistic claims. He's a dangerous combination of ferocity and delusion who's only goal is to torment his ex-partner, Blake Belladonna, whom he considers to be responsible for his fall from power.

The "Volume 6 Adam Character Short" was released on August 17th, 2018. A work-in-progress version was initially shown at the RTX 2018 RWBY Panel on August 3rd, 2018, exclusively for attendees.

Summary
Somewhere near a Dust processing plant, four White Fang members begin their raid on a plant. The group begins to have doubts but out of nowhere a newly masked Adam Taurus shows up and convinces the group that they are doing what is right.

Sometime later, Adam defends from an attack on a White Fang convoy alongside Ghira Belladonna, Sienna Khan, Ilia Amitola and several White Fang members. Ghira tries to reason with the humans attacking them but is rebuffed and shot, resulting in his Aura breaking. Sienna and Adam then share a glance of mutual agreement, and Adam starts to fight back. He dispatches the attacking humans with ease and kills the last one by activating his Semblance.

The humans retreat, and Ghira scolds Adam for his actions. However, Sienna and the others shower him with praise for his actions.

In Forever Fall, Adam explains to Blake that he did not intend to kill anyone on his recent missions and questions if Blake wants him to abandon the White Fang cause like her parents did. This causes Blake to falter and uneasily reaffirm her support for Adam.

Later, Adam raids a Schnee Dust Company facility alongside Sienna, Ilia and several White Fang members. They dispatch the AK-130s with ease as well as the human personnel sent to fight them during which Adam intentionally almost kills one of the humans who did not want to fight back after being disarmed.

Back at the White Fang Headquarters, Sienna commends Adam on his work for the White Fang and sends him to lead the Vale branch.

Sometime during his position as High Leader of the White Fang, Adam is informed that there will be additional complications with the assault of Haven.

Somewhere after the attack on Haven, Adam is seen staggering through the woods of Mistral and discarding his mask.

Trivia

 * A large part of the short takes place before the aftermath of the Battle of Haven, as indicated by Adam's Beacon Arc outfit and his time as the White Fang member.
 * As noted in the beginning of the short, Adam was the first to don the mask that has become common in the White Fang, implying that he was the one who inspired the current White Fang to wear Grimm masks.
