History
"..."

-...

Adam Smasher was a fairly typical punk, a worthless Fodlan mook who joined the Army when his gang was wiped out. After several years in uniform, he was discharged for bad conduct and took up being a contract mercenary in his home city.

It was a good life for Adam, as his lack of squeamishness and sadistic thoroughness brought in enough jobs to keep him in guns, gear, drugs, and brutal one-night stands. But he finally went on that one job where everything fell apart. A run-in between a battle against Kanes forces and rebels led to a couple of rockets turning him into a pile of red meat with a head. His buddies backpacked what was left of him out of the zone and back to the Big Apple. A mysterious benefactor took note and made him the classic offer he couldn't refuse: corporate service in a metal body, or death. As if thoughts of lost humanity would bother Adam.

Seven years later since then, the new cybernetic Adam Smasher had made quite a name for himself along the eastern seaboard. He hired out for almost any mission presented to him, as long as it wasn't an obvious suicide or double-cross. He did have one stipulation: Collateral damage and civilian casualties are a must. During this he had developed a quiet rivalry with Jeralt "Blackhand" Eisner, who at that time was simply a mercenary of Fodlan, along the way, seeing the classic Solo as a threat to his metal-is-better-than-meat worldview. Adam had repeatedly tried to challenge him to a face-off, but Jeralt only ignored him at every possible confrontation. Naturally, this snubbing had simply stoked the cyborg's psychopathic rage higher.

Meanwhile, his secret benefactors had allowed him time for freelancing. That had changed with the war; now, Adam is somewhat fully employed by his patrons, who turn out to be the CABAL. All this was fine with him, especially since he knew that Jeralt was now openly rebelling against Kane, having survived Kronya assassination attempt, which is also where he earned his epithet due to the cybernetic arm he had to use afterward.

In 2000 V.C., Adam Smasher fought in the First ADI-Asmodia War alongside CABAL. Adam was more than happy to fight for CABAL because he knew Jeralt and his rebels would attack. CABAL supplied him with everything he could ever want, including the DaiOni power armor conversion gear that turned Adam into a nearly unstoppable machine. During this time, on August 23rd, Smasher was present at what would become the Garrach Mach Holocaust at the top of Temple Prime. That night, as remarked by a former SpecOps operative who was present at the mission, Smasher and the rest of the CABAL troops ambushed the twins, Byleth and Jean Eisners, and Jeralts's team. However, Byleth distracted him, shouting and firing at him with his gun, getting injured by Smasher in the process, yet giving Jean an opportunity to hold Smasher back. Despite that, Adam had injured Byleth badly, leaving him to be retrieved by the Militia.

Smasher later appeared at the top of the temple, preparing to fight Blackhand as the rest of the extraction team left on their aerodyne. Blackhand remarked about testing Smasher's philosophy for itself shortly before the Ion Cannon fired.

In the aftermath, Smasher survived and was retrieved by CABAL, who healed him by replacing what little was left of the man with yet more machinery. Smasher was supposedly tasked by CABAL to take care of Jeralt's body and his possessions, being one of the few people who knew where Jeralt was buried. Shortly after Adam disappeared for a few years.

Today, Adam is assigned as CABAL's bodyguard and is in charge of carrying out the Brotherhood's dirtiest work, gaining a reputation for expert management of loose ends.

During this time, Adam was supposed to get an upgrade with a prototype "Cyberskeleton", a set of heavy limbs with built-in gravity manipulation and high-powered but compact thrusters granting mobility contradictory to its bulk, but when it got stolen by a cybernetic gangster David Martinez Adam had to destroy it, but didn't care as he put it "it's a child's toy reliant on anti-grav training wheels.", and its destruction did provide critical data, mainly that it was reliant on using its anti-gravity generator to actually move due to its enormous weight and that said generators are large and mounted on its shoulders where it can be easily destroyed. Eventually, CABAL would remake a new cyberskeleton out of lighter materials, allowing it to move with little aid from the generator, and more compact anti-gravity generators built within the limbs. Though Adam prefers not to wear it, wanting to give his enemies a "fighting" chance. But he will equip it if he is truly annoyed.
