Adam Smasher is a full borg mercenary employed by Arasaka who became a notorious solo and rival of Morgan Blackhand. By 2077, he had risen to the position of head of security within Arasaka and the personal bodyguard of Yorinobu Arasaka. Smasher is a towering cyborg, with little humanity left to be seen, not that he ever had much. After being reduced to mush by a rocket blast, Arasaka offered him a choice: either pull the plug or become a fully converted cyborg. With few options and a lack of attachment to his human side, he agreed and became more machine than man. Adam has no empathy for others, including his fellow employees, but as Arasaka kept him alive, he repays them by killing the corporation's enemies as directed. He can only be described as pure, uncontrolled evil.
