Adakko was not born to the Winter Court. In fact, he was already 85 years old when he suddenly appeared in Underhill with little fanfare or introduction. Originally from the Autumn Court, Adakko was considered a prime mating candidate among those in his sept; fast, smart, and strong. Indeed he quickly found himself a father to several Cwn litters while in his home of Autumn.

As time passed, however, his ego in regards to his own ability grew; Adakko sported an unforgivingly sardonic attitude and grew a tendency to use cleverly twisted truths to manipulate other members of the sept to do his bidding. This inflation of his ego eventually led him to be exiled by his matriarch after his deception ended in the death of one of his brothers. It was the most shameful moment of his life, but that shame very quickly became contempt. He didn't need his sept, nor did he need the Autumn Court. He would thrive without them all.

Quickly gathering his belongings, the now outcasted Adakko traveled immediately to Underhill, with the intent of pleading his case for a place in the court of Queen Mab. To this end, he hid within the city, gathering information on every detail of the Winter Court he was able to through word of mouth, eavesdropping, bribery, and trickery. After several months he requested an audience with the Queen, presenting her with the information he'd gathered to demonstrate his ability. Of course, the Queen would be able to verify any claims he made about her own Court.

Impressed with his showing, Queen Mab accepted him into Winter officially, appointing him as her Head Inquisitor, where he would be tasked with collecting information on the other Courts, as well as rumblings in Mab's own Court that may otherwise fly underneath her nose.
