Adam Moonlit

Adam Moonlit is a scientist of Divine Levianta and the first director of Project 'Ma'. After the project's failure, he became the husband of Eve Moonlit, the witch who infamously committed the Original Sin.

Project 'Ma'
At some point, the Leviantan Senate and Seth Twiright took Adam's mother, Maria Moonlit, away from him. Embittered, Adam sought vengeance against them. An excellent scientist, Adam was selected to lead the development of Project 'Ma' and find a suitable candidate for birthing the twin gods. Seeing the opportunity, Adam hoped to use the mother as a proxy for him to rule the country and get back at the ones who took away his mother.

Selecting the witch Eve Zvezda from Nemu village, Adam was tempted and became Eve's lover, using the brainwashing drug "Venom" to seduce her. During this time, Adam held the confused Eve close, comforting her. She told Adam that she wanted to have a wedding in Eldoh's Forest.

As part of the project, Adam oversaw the procedure as Eve was injected with the god's seed and awaited the birth of the twin gods. However, due to Adam's miscalculations, the children were stillborn and the project was a failure. With all his hopes and ambitions lost, the distraught Adam grieved over what he had done to Eve and then realized that he had truly fallen in love with her.

Original Sin
Fleeing with his lover to Elphegort, the two hid in a small home in Eldoh's Forest as woodcutters. He married Eve, telling her that he loved her and she reciprocated the sentiment. Some time later, in EC 001, Adam saw Eve return home one night and came to greet her. However, when he saw her hold two infants in her arms, a boy and a girl, he was horrified. With a grim face, Adam explained to his wife that their children were already dead and that she needed to return the twins to their real mother. After Eve screamed in realization of her crime, Adam told her she could fix it if she did it now. However, she retorted that it was too late, explaining how outside their home was a woman Eve killed who had a glass bottle of milk with her: the mother.

As a result, Adam kept the stolen children and raised them as his own. In EC 014, a year after the Great Levianta Fire Disaster, the effects of the catastrophe spread to Elphegort, causing famines and pestilence. With a gloomy expression, Adam and his wife led their foster children deep into the forest before abandoning them and returning home. However, the twins returned to their house with the help of a "little glass bottle" filled with moonlight and, hallucinating that his wife was a witch and he was her henchman. They entered their home and killed them, Adam's foster son murdering the former scientist, his step-father.

Legacy
The two corpses would eventually be discovered and a murder case was opened regarding their deaths. Centuries later in EC 505, Kyle Marlon was referred to by the Demon of Gluttony as the "Soul of Adam". GEAR himself would also be referred to as the "Soul of Adam" by the Master of the Graveyard during the theater inhabitants' meeting in EC 998. While reviewing the "court case" transcriptions in the Theater, Gammon Octo queried if Adam's dying wish dwelled within the Marlon Spoon and manifested as GEAR after the vessel awakened.

Personality
Adam originally acts opportunistic and selfish, using Project 'MA' and Eve Zvezda as a means to facilitate influence over the Leviantan Senate and Seth Twiright and sanction them as revenge for what they did to his mother. However, after the project's failure, he becomes far more caring and altruistic, returning Eve's love for him and showing concern for her.

Skills
Adam was described as a excellent scientist, demonstrated by being selected for leading Project 'MA'. His capabilities extended to his utilization of the Venom drug to brainwash Eve, allowing him to more easily manipulate her for the project.

Project 「MA」 (EC -)
In Project 「MA」, he claims to be the best scientist of the country. Seeing the project as an opportunity to take control of the country and punish the persons who separated him from his mother, he seduces and manipulates  the candidate, Eve Zvezda, emotional and mentally. When the project fails he realizes his feeling for Eve. Both depart to Eldoh's Forest where they were married, beginning a new life.

Moonlit Bear (EC 001)
In Moonlit Bear, Adam is shocked to see his wife Eve come home with two infant children in her arms. Understanding that she has stolen these children from their mother, he gently reminds her that their own children are dead, and tells her to give those children back to their mother. He tells her that it's not too late, but she responds by telling him that it is too late, because she killed the children's mother in a fit of insanity, convinced that she was a bear.

Abandoned on a Moonlit Night (EC 014)
In Abandoned on a Moonlit Night, Adam and Eve, for unknown reasons, cannot keep the children (now a bit older) and leave them in the woods to starve to death. The children become crazy as they wander the woods, and when they finally come back to their house, they do not recognize it and claim that it is the "witch's house." Believing Adam to be the "witch's henchman," "Hansel" kills him, although it is not exactly explained how.

Conceptualization and Origin

 * Adam Moonlit is inspired by Adam from Judeo-Christian mythology; like his biblical counterpart, although he does not commit the original sin himself, he is still very much a part of it.
 * The name "Adam" derives from Hebrew for "from the ground", linking him to Greed's original manifestation as The Soil as well as other characters portrayed by KAITO who are associated with Greed.

Curiosities

 * Both Kyle Marlon and GEAR are referred to as the "Soul of Adam" by an entity related to the sin of Gluttony.
