The second youngest Bayfield, Adam is the older brother to Natalie, and the prime source of her constant irritation, crabbiness and stress. He lives to irritate his sister, and because of that, Natalie constantly snaps, and is constantly grounded for things she didn't do. Adam is sine marcam, which is Latin for without Mark - it means that Adam, while having Shadowhunter blood, cannot bear Marks, therefore he can never slay demons or fight in battle. The only Mark Adam will ever be able to bear is the Sine rune, where the Voyance rune would generally be, on the back of the right hand. Adam is your typical teenage boy - he practically lives in his room, his XBox controller practically welded to his hand, and eats at least 10,000 calories a day without getting a single pound heavier. He's constantly being teased by Natalie over the fact that he has mundane friends.
