Adrian Wall is the pseudonym adopted by a Killoran who served as head of construction on the Braxiatel Collection. Killoran names being usally impossible to pronounce by humanoids, Killorans frequently adopted pseudonyms when living or working off their planet. Most took the names of famous military or state leaders from Earth's history (e.g. Alex Thegreat, a member of Adrian's crew). Adrian got his name slightly wrong: he thought that "Adrian Wall" was a Roman general who protected Roman Britain from the Picts. (c.f. Hadrian's Wall) (BFBS: The Doomsday Manuscript)
Like all Killorans, Adrian resembles a cross between a wolf and an ape, complete with fur and fangs. Adrian is even larger and stronger than average for his race; a full eight feet tall.
Adrian Wall had a deep fixation/lust for Bernice Summerfield and slept with her, once (while unbeknownst to him, her mind had been taken over by alien sorceress Avril Fenman). (BFBS: The Squire's Crystal) This lone sexual contact led to Bernice Summerfield falling pregnant with his child. (BFBS: The Glass Prison). Bernice planned on raising the child alone as a single mother, although she later softened her stance and both Jason Kane and Adrian Wall became involved in Peter's upbringing (BFBS: The Green-Eyed Monsters).
After Bev Tarrant came to the collection, he and Bev became romantically involved (BFBS: 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 ocupied by Draconian forces and recieving the personal attention of Ambassador Kothar (BFBS: The Judas Gift).
Adrian remained on the Collection even after Bernice and Peter Summerfield fled, whereupon he was captured and tortured by Doggles in an attempt to find where they had gone (BFBS: The Wake). 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. Adrian spent some time looking after Peter whilst Bernice was away and during one of these stays Peter was kidnapped by the psycopath Frost (BFBS: Venus Mantrap).
