Biography
Adrian is an HECU Marine who was part of a task force sent to the Black Mesa Research Facility to cover up the alien invasion by killing the invading aliens, as well as the scientists and security guards employed there, particularly Gordon Freeman, who was the scientist who started the disaster. Adrian's squad was shot down, however, before he could receive his orders. When Adrian awoke, he discovered that he was the only surviving member of his squad, and fights his way through Black Mesa, eventually killing a powerful alien that was trying to terraform the facility. The G-Man, impressed by Adrian's ability to adapt to whatever he was faced with, placed him into stasis. The G-Man brought Adrian out of stasis after an unknown amount of time, and placed him on Remnant.

Adrian is an honorable and brave individual. He gets along with others very well and enjoys being around other people. Adrian, unlike his counterpart, has come to accept Remnant as a nice place to live.

Adrian wears a standard issue HECU Uniform, including a powered vest called the "Powered Combat Vest", or PCV for short, and a gas mask with night vision lenses. Adrian's main weapon of choice is a pipe wrench, which he uses to smash enemies and objects with. Adrian also carries a combat knife, multiple different firearms, and 3 different kinds of explosives. While Adrian was trained as a sniper, he is capable of using pistols, assault rifles, and shotguns with deadly accuracy. Adrian is trained in standard issue hand to hand combat, guerrilla warfare tactics, and squad leading thanks to his advanced training during his time with the HECU.
