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]]. | Adam made [[Jack Harkness]] trust him with his secrets and re-awakened memories of his lost brother, [[Gray]], from [[Boeshane Peninsula]].

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. | Jack threatened Adam with his gun before locking him in the vault.

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.

Adam was a desperate and selfish being who valued self-preservation above all else, as shown by him implanting false memories of himself in all of the Torchwood team and going so far as to change their personalities in order to survive. When Jack confronted him about this in the holding cells, he claimed the way he changed them was for the better, a claim he backed up by reminding Jack he helped him remember who he was and how he rid Owen and Toshiko of their cynicism and lack of confidence, respectively. He came to the Torchwood team because he considered their memories unique and said Jack's were particularly unique, describing them as 'extraordinary'. He clearly had feelings for Toshiko, as he made her believe they shared an intimate, year-long relationship. | Adam was a desperate and selfish being who valued self-preservation above all else, as shown by him implanting false memories of himself in all of the Torchwood team and going so far as to change their personalities in order to survive.

Despite claiming he didn't mean any harm, Adam was quite sadistic as shown when he implanted traumatic memories into Ianto of him remorselessly strangling three women to death. Ultimately, however, this exposed Adam due to Jack's refusal to believe that Ianto was a murderer.
