Biography
Richard Adams was a Los Angeles businessman and the husband of Marie Adams. Following Marie's nervous breakdown, he brought her to Wilderness Cottage in the isolated town of Drago to give her time to recuperate. Marie complained of hearing howling noises at night and believed that her dog Pierre had been killed by a wild animal. Richard tried to console her, but in short order, he grew frustrated with his wife's seemingly wild claims. During the daylight hours, he would return to L.A. on business, but always return at night. Following one of these trips, Richard was seduced by a local artist named Eleanor who also happened to be a werewolf. She bit him on the shoulder and the following evening, Richard's body disintegrated and he was reborn as a werewolf. Marie killed Richard, as well as many other werewolves, by trapping them inside the Bell Tower of Drago and setting it on fire.
