Nick’s career felon father and the elder Malachai. Cruel and vicious, Adarian took nothing from no one and tried to kill anyone who got in his way, including Noir and Azura.

He was imprisoned and tortured in Azmodea for centuries by Noir. He escaped by promising Seth that he would return to free Seth if Seth helped him escape. He betrayed Seth however, by never returning. Shortly after his escape, Nekoda, who had been sent back in time by the Arelim to kill Adarian, finds herself unable to kill such a beaten and weak creature as Adarian was when he escaped.

He was in a prison serving three life sentences in Angola for killing demons who attacked him while he was robbing a bank. His defense of “he was a demon, Your Honor. A crap load of them were trying to kill me and if I hadn’t killed them, they’d have killed me where I stood, then taken over the city and enslaved all you petty and pathetic humans” didn’t sit well with the judge. And they refused to allow an insanity plea since his whole defense was based on: "I am not insane. You pathetic humans have to understand that demons need killing."

Dark-Hunter Timeline vs. The Chronicles of Nick Timeline[]

In the original Dark-Hunter timeline, Adarian was killed during a prison riot when Nick was eleven.[1] However, after Ambrose changes the timeline in Chronicles of Nick, Adarian is only wounded in the riot and kills a prison guard, which gets him sentenced to life without parole.[2] So Adarian is still alive when Nick's Malachai powers begin to come in during the start of Chronicles of Nick.


You find out that Adarian met Cherise by accident and was drawn to her pureness. He enrolled in highschool just to be near her because she calmed the rage and hatred in him. They became friends for a brief time before he destroyed that like he does everything he touches. In Infamous you find out just how deeply he loved Cherise when he sacrificed his life to save her and Nick from demons. And in Illusion he and Nick have a "heart to heart" and he tells Nick that his only regret in life was hurting the only creature he ever loved, Cherise. He tells Nick that the Malachia will forever be remembered, but it was up to Nick to decide if it would be for good or evil.
