Millie Adams

Wife of Hilton Adams. Determined to clear her husband’s name, irrespective of the cost.

Physical Description

General Physical Condition

An elegant African-American woman with fine features, whose expression of quiet determination may be mistaken for standoffishness by those who don’t know her. Despite the turmoil in her life, she takes great care with her appearance, partly to maintain a sense of normality and partly to make people take her more seriously. Her blouse and woolen skirt are always neatly pressed and her hair perfectly styled.

Mental characteristics

Personal history

• Link: newspaper articles about her husband’s arrest for murders resembling that of Jackson Elias (The New York Times, page 145).
• Link: introduction from Rebecca Shosenburg (Meeting Millie Adams, page 146).
• Link: Hilton Adams mentions that his wife may have gathered more information since his arrest (Meeting Hilton Adams, page 146).

As the wife of Hilton Adams, Millie has spent the past few months trying to find evidence of her husband’s innocence. Hilton has asked her not to do this, as he worries that Captain Robson may frame her for a crime as well, but Millie has refused to put her own safety ahead of that of her husband.
Hilton’s network of associates have all but abandoned Millie out of fear of police reprisal, but she has carried on her investigations alone. She has gathered more information about Ju-Ju House, which she is willing to share in exchange for help in proving her husband’s innocence.
Roleplaying hooks: can provide background information on her husband’s case, as well as up-to-date information about when meetings take place at Ju-Ju House. In return, she wants the investigators to provide her with any evidence they find that may exonerate her husband.

Social

Mannerisms

Has learned to be careful with people she doesn’t know and is initially quiet when meeting someone while she gets their measure. Once she has judged that an investigator is trustworthy, her reserve drops and she becomes friendlier. She is also tenacious, especially regarding her husband’s situation and the people responsible for it.
