Biography

Early life

As Killoran names were usually impossible for humanoids to pronounce, Adrian took took his name from Hadrian's Wall, believing that it was the name of a Roman general who protected Great Britain from the Scots. (PROSE: Professor Bernice Summerfield and the Doomsday Manuscript)

He was force-evolved for war and fought in the invasion of Világ, during which he killed a five-year-old human boy, his guilt over which led him to resist his violent instincts. (PROSE: Hiding Places) He became the Construction Manager at the Braxiatel Collection, leading a number of other members of his species. (PROSE: Professor Bernice Summerfield and the Doomsday Manuscript)

Becoming a father

Adrian and his team found Avril Fenman's cave on Hera, which he informed Bernice Summerfield, Clarissa Jones and Dominic Troy of. He fell in love with Benny - not realising that she was possessed by Avril - and had sex with her, later going to propose to her only to find her trying to seduce Dominic, who was possessed by Benny. Upon learning the truth, he felt humiliated. (PROSE: Professor Bernice Summerfield and the Squire's Crystal) Unbeknownst to the two of them, Benny was pregnant with Adrian's child. (PROSE: Professor Bernice Summerfield and the Infernal Nexus)

The Killoran team uncovered an artefact whilst building an extension for Bratheen Traloor's mansion. When Benny was invited by Traloor to investigate, Adrian tried to talk about what happened between him and Avril to no avail, and upon arriving believed that he heard her voice invite him into her room at night, only for him to be rejected. They later realised that the voice had been House and defeated it, finding the remains of Adrian's team in the cave, and agreed to be friends. (AUDIO: Professor Bernice Summerfield and the Stone's Lament)

Adrian found out that Benny had stolen a credit chip from him, prompting him to reset its spending limit to "lukewarm". This was briefly undone due to a time anomaly, allowing Benny to buy an excessive amount of shoes which were impounded once the anomaly was resolved. (AUDIO: Professor Bernice Summerfield and the Greatest Shop in the Galaxy)

As Benny neared the end of her pregnancy, both Adrian and Jason Kane insisted that each of them help at the birth in their own ways, causing Benny to leave with Claire. Irving Braxiatel later took both men to Benny, who presented Adrian with their son, Peter Guy Summerfield. (PROSE: Professor Bernice Summerfield and the Glass Prison)

As Killorans mated for life, Adrian wanted to be with Benny and raise Peter with her, something that he tried to keep secret by telling her that the males of his species did not involve themselves with their young. However, his true desire was betrayed somewhat when Benny spotted a fluffy rabbit toy in his pocket. He and Jason continued to argue over Peter, leading Benny to leave Peter with the two whilst she went to Goron IV, giving them the opportunity to prove that they could care for him. They travelled to Goron after Peter was kidnapped by Ashantra, during which Adrian admitted his paternal urges to Jason. (AUDIO: Professor Bernice Summerfield and the Green-Eyed Monsters)

Adrian and Braxiatel followed Benny and Jason into a mirror where they encountered a double of Benny who confessed her undying love to Adrian, who was not fooled and smashed her. His love for the real Benny allowed him to rescue her. (AUDIO: Professor Bernice Summerfield and the Mirror Effect)

Axis occupation

When the Fifth Axis attacked the Collection, Adrian left Peter with Orst Gemayal to keep him safe, aware of the organisation's disapproval of humans interbreeding with other species. Adrian himself was made to work with the other Killorans whilst awaiting relocation. (PROSE: The Fall) Following the detonation of a bomb, a number of Killorans - Adrian included - were locked up. (PROSE: The Garden of Whispers)

Benny visited Adrian on his lunch break and let him know that Peter remained safe. Adrian told her that Jason, who seemed to have joined the Fifth Axis, had been at the construction site and had kicked him three times, which she believed to be due to his jealousy of Adrian and Peter. (PROSE: Lockdown Conversations: 2) He continued to think about his son. (PROSE: Lockdown Conversations: 4)

Benny lied to Adrian and told him that she loved him before going to Heaven, hoping that that belief would keep him strong if he was deported in her absence. When Bernard Moskof announced that the non-humans would all be transported elsewhere, Adrian and the other Killorans refused to board the transport ships and hopelessly rushed the Axis officers, only to be saved by Braxiatel in his TARDIS. He forgave Jason upon learning of his true motives and pretended to accept Benny's choice to be with him, although he really believed that he was the one she loved. (AUDIO: Death and the Daleks)

Post-liberation

Following the return of normality to the Collection, Adrian took Peter to the lake and built a pile of stones with him, a Killoran tradition that he was proud to see his son accomplish. (PROSE: Misplaced Spring) He saved Jess Carter from Thomas, who tried to rape her, (PROSE: Welcome to the Machine) and wished Benny luck before the First Annual Braxiatel Collection Archaeology Conference, not realising that Peter scribbled on her notes before he took him to Café Vosta. (PROSE: Final Draft)

Adrian had an altercation with Hass, who then accused him of being responsible for filling in his sunken garden. The two came to blows over it. (PROSE: Against Gardens) He and three other Killorans helped Bev Tarrant return artwork stolen by the Fifth Axis to Viveka and he and Bev began spending a lot of time together. (PROSE: Reparation) She drugged him in order to take him to Earth to protect her whilst she searched for the Purpura Pawn, knowing that he would turn down her request to instead save Benny. (PROSE: The Purpura Pawn)

When Benny contracted a virus from the pages of an old play, Adrian stayed by her side and, when she awoke briefly after a four day coma, he promised her that he would be there when she woke up again. (AUDIO: Professor Bernice Summerfield and the Masquerade of Death) The two went on a mission during which their shuttle crashed and Adrian had to defend Petaldew, Larkspur and Dogwood's crops in return for their assistance. (PROSE: You Shouldn't Have) Adrian and Jason began arguing about how Peter should be raised. (PROSE: The Tree of Life)

Adrian and Bev trailed Ms Jones after she kidnapped Peter, travelling to a seaside town where they experienced nightmares drawn from their pasts, Adrian's being him killing a five-year-old at Világ. They ultimately learnt that Ms Jones had gone to Thuban and went after her, leaving Jacob, an individual created from Peter's innocence, behind. (PROSE: Hiding Places) Joined by Benny and Jason, they recovered Peter and Adrian attacked Ms Jones, who tried to shoot him before Bev killed her. (PROSE: Parallel Lives)

The history machine

Adrian and Bev began a relationship, becoming a proper couple. Following the theft of the Collection's security blueprints, Adrian worked on new defences and attended Doggles' press conference where the history machine was activated. (PROSE: Inappropriate Laughter) He was severely injured by the shockwave, (PROSE: Siege Mentality) which created a number of different versions of history to overlap.

In the first, Adrian was hypnotised by Braxiatel to take responsibility for killing Bev after seeing her with another man. After his confession, he collapsed with a migraine and entered into a coma. (PROSE: Dead Mice) In the second, he broke up with Bev in order to focus on his family after Benny was permanently blinded by the history machine and Peter was mortally injured, later using one of Avril's crystals to take Peter's place. (PROSE: Acts of Senseless Devotion) In another, Adrian and Jason were both killed by the explosion. (PROSE: The God Gene)

In one world, Adrian completed his security project and unwittingly contradicted Benny when she attempted to use him as an alibi after destroying the history machine. (PROSE: A Murderous Desire) In another, Adrian and Bev lost an unborn child. (PROSE: One of My Turns) History was eventually restored after Braxiatel beheaded Doggles. (PROSE: Family Man, After Life)

Continued career

After Bev Tarrant came to the collection, he and Bev became romantically involved. Because of the pollen infection he tried it on with Benny. He was later caught having sex with Doggles (AUDIO: Summer of Love) However, just before Adrian worked up the courage to officially propose to her, Bev was forced to flee the collection when it was occupied by Draconian forces during the Draconian-Mim War and receiving the personal attention of Ambassador Kothar. (AUDIO: The Judas Gift) He was then imprisoned after his reaction to the apparent death of Bev. (AUDIO: Freedom of Information)

Adrian remained on the Collection even after Bernice and Peter Summerfield fled, whereupon he was captured and tortured by Doggles to find where they had gone. (AUDIO: The Wake) This torture left Adrian maimed, his profile was noticeably changed. Adrian was later rescued by Bev Tarrant and the two travelled together, meeting Bernice and Peter in a daring raid on Vingus Bank and Braxiatel's personal vault. He was stuck with the clone of Benny whilst Benny and Bev conducted the main raid. (AUDIO: Glory Days)

Adrian spent some time looking after Peter whilst Bernice was away. During one of these stays, Peter was kidnapped by the psychopath Frost. (AUDIO: Venus Mantrap)

He went with Peter to search for Benny on Javarda and informed her about the recent developments. Shortly afterwards, he accompanied them and Bev to rescue Robyn from the moon. After discovering that Robyn had injured Bev, he fought Robyn. (AUDIO: Resurrecting the Past)

When the Deindum began to conquer the universe, Adrian assisted Doggles on the moon, trying to launch covert attacks while the Diendum's resources were stretched across multiple times and places. He then helped in the recapture of Braxiatel. When they created a fake history for the Deindum, he was in charge of creating the architecture. He was left on the Collection with Bev when the Deindum attacked. (AUDIO: Escaping the Future)

Later life

In the wake of the Deindum war, Bev and Adrian got married, spending their honeymoon on Valentine's World. They set up and became the leaders of a refugee camp on the planet. Bev later became pregnant with several Killoran pups. (PROSE: Adorable Illusion)

Appearance

As a Killoran, Adrian resembled a cross between an ape and an upright wolf. He was tall for one of his species, standing at almost eight foot tall, and wore blue overalls whilst working. (PROSE: Professor Bernice Summerfield and the Doomsday Manuscript) He was stronger than average for his race. (PROSE: The Squire's Crystal)
