Standing at an even six feet, Adair is around average to above average height for a normal guy, but can add several inches when his hair is standing on end. The hair mentioned is a darker, dusky red that seems to adjust in brightness depending on the light he's standing in. His hair seems to have a mind of its own, regardless of how he decides to style it. Usually he just shakes it out and let's it fall as it will, but on occasion, it will stand up and spike itself save for a lock in front. Only one of his eyes is visible to anyone looking on and is a deep green in color that always has a mischievous look to it. An eye patch covers the right eye due to an incident he was involved in years ago. The eye itself is dyed completely red except for the black center containing his pupil and works well enough for sight, yet he still covers it due to its appearance. A small scar can usually be seen peeking out above the eye patch as well, another remnant of the incident. Aside from the somber-looking right eye, his face is almost always set in a smile with the corners of his mouth always upturned.
Despite the need to devour any and all food in sight, Adair is in fantastic shape and his body is a direct reflection of this fact. Sporting a lean and athletic frame, it isn't hard to tell that underneath his clothing he is easily toned and muscled from head to toe. His limbs, on the other hand, are slightly longer than average, offering him a longer reach and stride. Due to everything previously mentioned, Adair is not ashamed to shed his attire and show himself off to the world, especially if there are any women around. Couple this for his love of the outdoors, and Adair has developed a nice base skin tone for being in the sun and tanning his skin slightly. This serves nicely to compliment his hair color and causes it to stick out even further than already. There is a small silver chain that can be seen poking out of his clothes at times.
Style:
A simple button-down shirt with comfortable pants. Usually wearing somewhat worn-out clothes with an occasional scarf and bandanna to appease his comfort desire. Almost always wears his eye patch.
Distinct Markings:
Scarred right eye that is dyed almost completely red. It is covered by an eye patch. Scar on his lower right ankle.

Personality:
Adair can be described as up front and to the point with a hint of 'what the hell did he just say?!' He tends to do what he wants at any given moment without a care in the world of what might follow. This has often led to quite a few instances where he was forced to tap into his quick-witted side to escape obvious trouble that would quickly follow. Additionally, he seems to have absolutely no filter between his brain and his mouth, often spurting out anything and everything that comes to mind as well as a typically grim sense of humor that he finds nothing wrong with. Add this all together, and no one would be considered wrong when referring to Adair as a train wreck with a smile. These conditions tend to lead to him having a reckless and outgoing nature about him as well, adding to the trouble and mayhem he may cause. He loves being outdoors and being actively engaged in most activities while abhorring boredom and waiting alike.
But like a coin, this is only one side of Adair . The other side of him isn't exactly the complete opposite as heads is to tails, rather it compliments the first side. Being a genuinely joyful person, he enjoys making others laugh, and sometimes, by any means possible. Whether it be a random joke, a friendly gesture, or a full blown random act of recklessness that could potentially end catastrophically for him. Those who know him well understand him as a confidant and a person who is able to be told anything without the danger of it getting out to the general public. He is generally a trusting person that can give an individual the benefit of the doubt, no matter how bad the circumstances may look. Generally, he is seen as laid back and easy going, enjoying the simple beauties in life.

History:
Growing up in an old port town that no longer exists in this world, Adair had always been mere steps from the sea. It was always his first, and to this day, only love. His father was a naval captain for the long lost noble of the area and often took Adair out on the ships with him where he taught him the workings of each of the different vessels. After a few years, Adair began sailing into battles in defense of their port alongside his father and he quickly began to abhor the strict military life and laws his father was bound to. During one of these battles, Adair boarded an enemy's ship and scrambled up into the crow's nest to dispatch their lookout. Tossing the man over to the long drop below, Adair turned just in time to catch a bit of shrapnel to his right eye as an explosion rocked his father's ship. Taking cover against the remaining blasts, Adair ducked into the crow's nest as enemy crew members scrambled after him. With the enemy completely out of ammunition and explosives, Adair spent the next three days without sleep, food, and little water from rain as he stabbed, bit, and tore at anything that tried coming over the nest's railing.
It was at this time that Captain Skull's ship happened across the drifting graveyard at sea. The threat of Adair had caused the crew to neglect reaching port for fear of him escaping, and thus, caused the majority of them to succumb to various infections as well as the injuries themselves. Adair laughed at how useless the enemy had become without their precious ammunition as he hugged his blades to himself and waved at the incoming pirates. He didn't know where the whistle came from at the dead bodies surrounding Adair, but laughed the same as he told them to take whatever they wished as he stumbled to the captain's quarters. Finding the frightened and pathetic wreck hiding behind his desk, Adair hauled him back up to the deck and threw him overboard as Captain Skulls and his crew watched on. Someone tossed him an apple after the act and Adair savored it as if it was the greatest object on the face of the earth.
Adair now spends his days avoiding as much work as possible as he sits in his perch atop Captain Skulls' ship, shouting the warning to all of any incoming ships.
