Personality
We know that Adam was cursed by the enchantress because he was selfish, arrogant, and snobbish. He was also shallow; shunning the enchantress when she was in the form of a beggar, but quickly apologizing to her after seeing her true form: beautiful and powerful. These traits have mostly remained despite Belle's having removed the curse. He is arrogant, prideful, snobbish, and concerned only with a woman's beauty. Yet, he has shown some generosity when he placed Belle's happiness before his own when he allowed her to go and tend to her sick father. He has also shown himself to be quite protective of her, as when he saved her from the wolves. He has a dark and brooding side to his personality that was quite apparent when he was in the beast form; obsessing over Belle and being disheartened at her departure.
History
Previously...
A handsome young prince lived in a luxurious castle in France. He had everything he wanted, and as a result, he was selfish and spoiled. One night, on Christmas Eve, his kindness is put to the test when a beggar woman comes to the castle and asks for shelter from the freezing cold, with a single rose as payment. When he shuns the beggar for her repulsive appearance, she then reveals her true form as a beautiful (and powerful) Enchantress. Seeing her beauty and realizing her power, the Prince tries to apologize. But as a punishment for his cold heart, she turns him into a terrifying beast-like creature. She also casts a curse on the entire castle, transforming it into a dark, foreboding place, its lush green grounds into dangerous immortal wolf-infested woods, and the good-natured servants into anthropomorphic household objects to reflect their different personalities. Ashamed of his new appearance, the Beast conceals himself inside his castle with a magic mirror as his only window to the outside world, and an enchanted rose that would act as the curse's timer which would bloom once he's 21. If the Beast could learn to love a woman and earn her love in return before the final petal fell off the rose, the curse would be broken, but if not he would remain a beast forever.
Years later, Beast locks Maurice, an old man, in the tower as a prisoner for trespassing (actually allowed inside by the servants for shelter). Maurice's daughter, Belle, confronts Beast and pleads with him to let her father go, offering herself as a prisoner instead. The Beast agrees, believing she is the key to break the spell, but when she enters the castle's forbidden west wing and nearly touches the rose, he frightens her into the woods (which he regrets upon realizing that he lost his temper), where he saves her from being killed by wild wolves. Beast comes to appreciate Belle when she tends to his wounds and he strikes up a friendship with her. Eventually, he falls in love with her, and placing her happiness before his own, he releases her to tend to her sick father.
A lynch mob comes to kill the Beast, led by a rival suitor named Gaston. Beast is too disheartened from Belle's departure to try to stop them. Gaston eventually finds Beast, and fights him. The Beast is still too miserable to fight back and lets Gaston continue. But when Belle shows up to stop Gaston, the Beast gets up and Fights back eventually holding Gaston and intending to drop him until the hunter begs him not to. The Beast, realizing that he'd be no better than Gaston, pulls the hunter back and angrily tells him to leave. Belle then shows up on the balcony and The Beast goes to her; unfortunately, Gaston refuses to admit defeat, and the Beast is mortally stabbed in the back. In the process Gaston falls from the castle roof to his death. Belle comes to tend to the Beast's wounds, but he succumbs to his injuries and dies. Belle was able to tell the Beast that she loves him before the final petal fell, Belle's love for the Beast broke the curse, revived him, and turned back into the prince.
Currently...
Although, Adam considers Belle to be a very beautiful girl objectively, his passion for her had dulled in recent times and he does not find her to be as enticing as she once used to be. His lust for her has faded with each passionate embrance and the passing of years. He has strayed from her arms and has been courting other women for their affection. In recent times he has been participating in filthy orgies, sleeping with married women, and frequented brothels and other places of ill-repute. His guilt weighs heavily for having swayed from Belle; drinking and spending enormous amounts of gold on prostitutes to try and forget about her.
