Adam was the husband of Eve and the father of master storytellers Cain and Abel.
History
Adam was created by God as the first human male and inhabited the idyllic Garden of Eden with his wife, Eve.[1] He was given the power to name all creatures in the Garden to give them shape and tame them. However, one refused to be named and became known only as The Beast. When Adam and Eve were expelled from the Garden, the Beast followed them to try and kill their descendants. The Beast was sealed away and the Shadow Dog was born from Adam's dreams to foil the Beast whenever he tried to escape.[2]
