Nathaniel Adams was a dirty former New York police officer in his mid-40s hired by Akira Kimura to find Soledad Marquesa. Adams found that Marquesa had been killed in Portland, Oregon and identified Nick Burkhardt, Hank Griffin, Sean Renard and Monroe as being associated with Marquesa's death. After Adams briefed Kimura and added, "You'll need me", Kimura replied, "Not anymore," and killed him.
