Adam Vinter

Adam Vinter is a Decurion and prominent agent of the Century Club. He was first encountered by the protagonists in the Wapping safehouse of the Century Club, where he acted as one of William Holmgrove's lieutenants, where he helped fill them in on the threats that they were facing and demonstrated calmness and a technical aptitude during the siege of the safehouse by the Shadow Federation.

However, unlike Holmgrove or Henry Atkins, he is not attached to the British branch specifically - or any other, it would seem. A Norwegian by birth, Adam has become a Decurion in 1911 and since then has functioned as a roving agent, travelling between branches all over Europe, making the acquaintance of many Centurions young and old and investigating various irregularities (which makes one wonder as to the actual reason behind his presence in London in Apri l1914). Since they began to show up shortly after the Saint Haven incident, he has focused on investigating the Schwarzmeer cults, working with Domenico di Diomedio and others to collect a large body of information that the Century Club itself was largely incapable of acting on owing to the Great War. Nevertheless, Adam persisted with his investigation, gradually zeroing in on Russia as the eye of the storm - suspiciously quiet, yet full of subtler movements on this enemy's part.

While chasing down leads in the tottering Russian Empire, however, Adam was diverted by the explosion that took the lives of many Russian Centurions in Petrograd. Convinced that it was a sign Schwarzmeer was getting ready to begin his endgame, Adam hurried to leave the country before he could finish his investigation, requesting that Centurions interested in dealing with this threat should meet him in Stockholm - especially as he had come to believe the city was a priority target for the enemy as well, even if he could not quite divine the exact purpose. Four people have answered the call... though not before Schwarzmeer's people on the ground, most notably one Hjarna, could begin a city-wide hunt that sent him hiding away from the local Century Club headquarters, smoked him out of one apartment and almost cornered him at another. Fortunately, those Centurions arrived in time to rescue him from this latest assault (and also punch him, as collateral damage), after which point he was free to accompany them to a safer place and brief them on what he had learned so far...

Lately he has also taken to travelling with a resourceful small boy (not Centurion age) named Anders, who may or may not be his son.
