Description Written for by . I hope I did him justice.

Simultaneously the most liberating and frustrating character I've had to design (second only to the monster Humbaba). I could be as asymmetrical as I wanted, considering that he's stitched together from various corpses. But, considering my almost OCD-like approach to drawing, it tore me apart.

He was the creature created by Victor Frankenstein himself, trying to bring the dead to life. Consumed by anger of rejection and his creator's refusal to make him a mate, he pursued him until his dying day. Immediately after it, he felt regret for his path and began wandering Grimmwoods, searching for answers to questions regarding the nature of good and evil. He occasionally runs into the heroes, but their alliances are always brief as they go their separate ways.

Forever in pursuit of answers to the question of good and evil. And at least he's not a sociopath/psychopath like my avatar here.

The most 'human' of the monsters that we've grown up with. I think you did Adam great justice.

Maybe that's the appeal of the monster: you can make him sympathetic WITHOUT ruining his character (see Leatherface and Freddy Krueger).

Still interesting. And Adam's not the only Victorian horror story to appear. I threw in the Invisible Man. Needless to say, he's not as moral as Frankie.
