Adam, though I disagree he was a pedo and in fact the only real reason I dislike him is because I believe he was mischaracterized.

I think Monty when presenting his framework for RWBY had a few holes in the overall story he hadn't fleshed out and that Adam was one.

I think he later made 2 different stories for: "Blake's lover" and "Blake's mentor/WF leader" that he never got the chance to resolve the issues with(such as age) and that Miles & Kerry were constantly resolving such issues with him for the first two volumes... then they found for volume 3 that the issue was there, but rather than fix it they went with Monty's former "Blake's lover" characterization rather than change it in the script to make sense(perhaps not even thinking at the time to change it or just not having time anymore) because Monty wasn't there to resolve it and elements in the Fandom pushed for a romantic connection.
