* Adam was one of the Ventaran Kamen Riders, but became tired of the job. When one of Xaviax's race approached him and offered to release the Advent Deck's DNA lock, he jumped at the chance, only to realize too late it ''was'' Xaviax. Xaviax, running out of options, recently gave the reclaimed Dragon Deck back to him and ordered him to become a HeelFaceMole to the returning Ventaran Riders.

The BigBad. Is quietly abducting people one by one, until he can create a genetic database big enough to do mass kidnappings and enslave the human race. Something of a MasterOfDisguise; while he only has one human form, he's used it to pose as a lawyer, a mercenary, a federal agent, and so on.
** He's also transformed into Eubulon's human form and even duplicated his Kamen Rider armor, right down to the cards he uses.
LargeHam He maybe one of the very reasons why many watches this show.
