It's fair to say he's a bad person. But I just want to know (hopefully BEFORE he dies and not in flashback as he dies) what was it that pushed him over the end? Was it not seeing any results from the protests? Was it the leadership regime change? Or was he always just biding his time till he was let off the leash and told it was okay to kill the "evil" humans.

Sometimes, fully fleshed out 3D characters have their past kept in the dark from the audience to prevent the audience from caring about them. If the writers only want you to hate the new giggling Joker-ish villain, their damn sure not gonna say he used to run a veternarian or how he gave food to the hungry. That's what I'm afraid of. It might be Adam was like Torch, and just a character who got too popular to ignore and they plopped him into the "super evil" role so he can be the big bad turning point final boss for Blake. I still feel like the creepy rapist style of calling Blake his "darling" was out of character of him. He always seem to be stoic samurai, not a blood starved Casanova.

Maybe with proper screen time we can find out before his death what he really is in his own mind. Does he see himself as a hero or just a garbage man doing the dirty job no one wants to admit needs to be done, or is he just a killer and delluded himself that he is right? I swear if he realizes he's wrong and then gets gunned down by Cinder or Salem or Sienna that's gonna stuck.
