Adam Smith: Difference between revisions

Adam escaped from "the Void" and made for the Torchwood team, because their memories were unique. He inserted himself into the memories of all the team members, and though he had only come into their lives two days before, they thought he had joined Torchwood years before.

Adam made [[Jack Harkness]] trust him with his secrets and re-awakened memories of his lost brother, [[Gray]], from [[Boeshane Peninsula]]. He also made [[Toshiko Sato]] love him and believe they had a close, physical and long-lasting relationship, even altering her personality to make her bolder. He also changed the personality of [[Owen Harper]], making him behave similar to Tosh, but more open with his feelings. Though he made [[Gwen Cooper]] regard him as a friend, as an unintended side effect, he made her forget about her fiancé, [[Rhys Williams]]. [[Ianto Jones]] noticed that Adam never got a mention in the logs that he meticulously kept of his work. As retaliation for his suspicion and threat to expose Adam, he made Ianto believe he had murdered three women. The false memory of the serial murders drove Ianto mad; he reported this to Jack who saw Adam making Ianto remember him using the Hub's [[CCTV]].

Jack threatened Adam with his gun before locking him in the vault. Jack then gave the rest of the team [[retcon]] pills to forget about Adam (after having deleted the CCTV recordings and other evidence). In a last bid to survive, Adam inserted himself into one of Jack's memories of his childhood. Jack took an amnesia pill to forget. As nobody now remembered Adam, he died. His body shimmered and disappeared into nothing.  

Although the Torchwood team had no knowledge of Adam any more, some evidence of his existence remained: for example, his name was found on a bag containing an alien artefact in Torchwood's possession (which was in some way tied to Adam) and Rhys, having briefly met Adam, would have retained his scant memories of the man.
