I'll put it in spoiler tags I guess.
PRIME_BBCODE_SPOILER_SHOW PRIME_BBCODE_SPOILER:
The death of Adam, is clearly shown in the opening sequence, as, in the guise of a doctor he is lovingly sliced in half by the BM, which is what happens to him towards the end of the game.
Shortly before his demise, whilst in the otherworld church, a stained glass window is seen depicting a Knight being stabbed from behind by a figure who Alex defines as an Executioner. The Knight here is most probably a stand in for the Master at Arms - Adam Shepherd. Alex wonders what the knight did to deserve such a fate, well now we know.
Thirdly, and this is either much more subtle or I'm just reading too much into it, in the basement of the Shepherd household, through the cloth draped doorway, Adam can be seen standing (facing away from Alex?*). Alex's combat Knife is a miniature version of the weapon that BM carries around with him, and once you've sliced the cloth in half Adam is gone.
I was just wondering if anybody else had noticed this, or if indeed there are more events in the game that hint at Adam's eventual fate.
(apologies if this topic has already been discussed, I searched and checked the quicklinks)
*If he is facing away from Alex, which I'm not sure of, then this again is an almost perfect re-enactment of his ultimate fate.
