Adam Hood

    Adam is the son of Eveline and {Adams Father} Hood that he did business for to pay back debt.

    Background 

    Xovus got to know Eveline Hood via introduction from Losty at '45. Eveline is Adams mother and she helped Xovus out of his legal troubles. Xovus was in debt to the Hoods for twenty years, slowly paying it off by doing whatever the Hoods liked me to do.

    Over the years a form of respect and friendship slowly started to build up between Xovus and the Hoods. He first met their son Adam back in '65 when he was ten. Back then he was just a curious boy but has since then grown up to be a good friend to Xovus.

    Connection to Losty

    For more information how Adam is connected to Lostly, see Introduction to the Hoods under the section Lost & Found.

    Hoods and Meshir families 

    The branch of the Meshir family living in the tenth district has business connections with the Hoods. They invite each other to fancy dinner parties to conduct business, or perhaps to show off. The Hoods is a much more noble family and for the Meshirs it's good to stay well connected with them.

    During Xovus Chaotic Years he had lost most connection with the Meshirs, but through the Hoods he once again was invited back in to the Meshir family. His connection is still a little strained but Xovus got his family back, and they got a stronger connection to the Hoods.

    With some convincing from Losty, Eveline helped Xovus with his legal problems. She quickly cleared up things. Xovus never really know how she did it, he never asked. He was free to once again move freely in almost all districts of Ravnica, except the 28th district where he committed the crime.

    The debt 

    It took Xovus 22 years to pay back the deed Eveline did for him, that's remarkable fast and Xovus suspects that Losty had something to do with it. Xovus did pay a small part of the debt back in plain zinos but most of it was payed via different "missions" and other tasks the Hoods asked him to do. With his background, there was few limits to that he was willing to do to cut a few more zinos, and days, away from his debt. At 10067 ZC Xovus was finally able to resolve the debt with the Hoods with a final contract contained two final requirements:

    • Keep Adam safe from harm, protect him and be there for him when he need you.
    • In the future, we will ask you for a final task, this can't be refused.

    Xovus had become a good "old uncle" type of figure for Adam over the last two years when the contract was signed. Xovus did gladly protect Adam to pay of his debt to the Hoods. The second item was harder to agree to, but after 22 years, Xovus agreed to the terms to finally feel free again to gain his own wealth.
