'''William Adama Sr.''' was the father of [[Joseph Adama]] and [[Sam Adama]], and a native of [[Tauron]].
'''William Adama Sr.''' was the father of [[Joseph Adama]] and [[Sam Adama]] and was a native of [[Tauron (RDM)|Tauron]].


During the [[Tauron Civil War]] circa {{YR|12}}, William and his wife [[Isabelle Adama|Isabelle]] were members of the [[Ha'la'tha]] resistance. As his father before him, William gives his son his [[Mark of Manhood]] for learning the [[Sacred Scrolls]]. Following this, William and Isabelle divulge their involvement with the Ha'la'tha, and introduce the use of [[kapi]] vis-à-vis Tauron concepts of controlling ones return to the soil.
Adama, along with his wife, are killed during the [[Tauron Civil War]] that propelled their surviving children, Joseph and Sam, to emigrate to [[Caprica (RDM)|Caprica]] during their youth. At his wishes, Adama is killed by his son Joseph, using the handgun Sam had looted from the dead soldier outside their window only the night before.  


Sometime thereafter, a member of the [[Heracleides]] ("Herac") militia was killed outside their home, from whom Sam stole a pistol. Herac soldiers lead by [[Kolibri]] subsequently kill Isabelle and tortured Joseph in their own home, breaking William's legs in the process.  William's son Joseph killed the Herac soldiers and then, at William's request, killed his father using the stolen handgun {{CAP|The Dirteaters}}. This act forces Adama's children into displacement, living on the streets, which led to their subsequent immigration to [[Caprica (RDM)|Caprica]] with Ha'la'tha assistance {{CAP|Pilot|The Dirteaters}}. 
Sixty-nine years before the [[Fall of the Twelve Colonies]], Joseph named his [[William Adama|son]] after his father ([[CAP]]: "[[Caprica pilot|''Caprica'' pilot]]").
 
Sam retains a well-worn monochromatic photo of his parents, perhaps the last surviving photographic evidence of their life {{CAP|False Labor}}. 
 
In {{BCH|69}}, Joseph named his [[Willie Adama|first son]] after his father {{CAP|Pilot}}. After his first son's death in {{BCH|58}}, Joseph and his [[Evelyn Adama|second wife]] name their only child, a son, [[William Adama|William]] {{CAP|Here Be Dragons|Apotheosis (episode)}}.
