(Rewatches Adam flashback scenes)

Huh, I could have sworn he said about meeting with other leaders. Regardless I don't think Adam is the main WF leader.

Why? For one is where he was situated in the flashback. He talked about retruning to Mistral. The use of the word 'return' suggest to me that this is a main base of operations, which makes me curious why the very head of operations would dirty his hands himself rather than having a trusted high-ranking member deal with business in another kingdom. Also having just one person who over sees everything is not a very efficient system considering how far away the main kingdoms are from eachother.

Also something mentioned more explicitly in a volume 3 extra but hinted by Blake in the series. It took Adam years, YEARS to turn into what he is today. That implies to me that he wouldn't have been the one to put in the violent methods five years ago but rather influenced by them. And because we haven't heard about a new leader since then we can assume a new one hasn't been put in.

The White Fang Lieutenenant also shows how there is some sort of ranking system in the organization, which means Adam could simply be a member lower down than leader but higher than Lieutenant.

Also the whole age thing as he doesn't strike me as any more than early twenties, have a hard time believing he's older than Cinder certainly.

Could be wrong but these are my thoughts on the matter.
