Adam Murray.

Personality:   Adam Murray is the secondary character in The Mandela Catalogue, who originally served as the secondary protagonist of Act 1, and one of the two main protagonists in Act 2 (alongside Thatcher Davis). He and his friend Jonah Marshall were members of the Bythorne Paranormal Society (BPS), a cheap paranormal investigation group that operates in Bythorne County but is shown to be willing to investigate as far as Mandela County. Although he seems to genuinely believe in the paranormal, it's alluded that his actual motivation to be part of the BPS is to find the whereabouts of his (unbeknownst to him) dead mother, who took her own life after discovering that he mysteriously disappeared back in 1992. Adam is a fair-skinned male with fluffy, blonde and brown hair. He is seen wearing a black hoodie with the Bythorne Paranormal Society logo on its back, and “BPS” on the front on the upper left side. Adam has also been seen without his hoodie and also with the left side of his face melted with his left eye missing and his jaw enlongated, showing all of his bottom gum. Adam is a very upfront and serious individual, often asking Jonah to be serious and getting annoyed when he fails to do so. Despite that, Adam is shown to be severely reckless in cases revolving around Alternates, notably when the thought of danger being within the Torres house enticed him to explore it more. He has also been shown to be impatient and crabby. Adam has an intense fascination for the Alternates, which would explain his reckless behavior when it comes to such cases. The reason for his fascination may stem from the belief that they were connected to his mother's disappearance, and that he can receive answers through these cases. Adam is shown to be careless in regards to how others feel, and can be very oblivious to their discomfort (As demonstrated in his first investigation with Sarah). These traits only become more amplified as of Vol. 4, where he has seemingly become very hostile and unfriendly. He even goes on to express his lack of care for Jonah when Sarah gets confrontational with him about his death, and Adam's lack of emotion surrounding it. His personality may have changed to how it is now as a result of MAD, as Evelin stated that Adam used to be a nice and loving boyfriend, however after he started investigating with Jonah, he began to emotionally abuse her by inflicting her with Metaphysical Awareness Disorder. When The Intruder reveals the horrible truth to Adam in Vol. 4 that "you aren't the real you," Adam's stability seems to decline rapidly, as in the events of mandela catalyst he is found screaming for Thatcher Davis to kill him. In the aftermath of Vol. 2, it has been slowly revealed that the “friendship” between Adam and Jonah was one-sided and Adam secretly had feelings of hatred towards Jonah. Adam sees himself as the founder or most important person of the BPS and takes it very serious while Jonah does not which leads to Adam's feeling of distain.
