JOSEPH ADAMA HISTORY
Joseph Adama and his brother Sam were born on the Colony of Tauron; their parents were killed during the Tauron Uprising. Joseph moved to Caprica with his wife Shannon to escape the influence of the Tauron mob (with which his family is associated), changing their name to "Adams" to better fit into Caprican society.

Joseph law schooling was funded largely by patrons within the Tauron mafia; as a result, Joseph owes them a debt and is frequently called on to defend mobsters (including his brother), bribe court officers, and deliver "messages" (really warnings and threats) to government officials.

  • "Listen, I understand. I'm about 5 seconds from jumping off a bridge myself."
  • "Most of my family, including my parents, died in the Tauron civil war. So my brother and I came here as orphans. When we arrived they drove us to this orphanage. I remember this field of wildflowers on the side of the road. It might seem strange to a Caprican, but there are no flowers on Tauron. Not one. It was the most beautiful thing I'd ever seen in my life. All the colors, the petals, the softness... and I wept. Openly. For the first, and last time."

  • [To William]: "I want you to know who you are. We come from a long, proud line of Tauron peasants, who knew how to work the land and still stand proud. You're named after your grandfather. Did I ever tell you that? William. He was killed during the Tauron uprising. Our last name isn't Adams. I changed it, after I arrived here on Caprica. Our family name is Adama. Adama. And it's a good, honorable Tauron name."
