Adam grew up in a hostile environment as the only child to Noelle Millais and Graham Haverfield. Graham, disappointed in Adam's existence, refused to give his last name to his son. After some years of constant abuse, he moved to the Waterloo District to live with his grandparents in their flat above The Waterloo Men's Wear. Adam is a constable at the Wellington Wells Constabulary and still lives in his grandparents' flat, long after they've passed.
