Adder is Abdusalam Ali Abubakar, the illegitimate son of General Abubaker, former Nigerian Head of State. He served in the Nigerian secret police for several years, before his ability to hide his puberty-induced bio-mutation wavered, and he was ostracized and fled the country. He was recruiting mercenaries for an insurgency force intended to help him execute a coup in his home country, when he was blackmailed into joining the Gorgon Gang. He remains resentful of his teammates and harbors intentions to resume his attempted overthrow of the Nigerian gvernment.
