'''Sam Adama''' is a character in the pilot for ''[[Caprica (series)|Caprica]]''.

He is the brother of [[Joseph Adama|Joseph Adams]] and an enforcer in the [[Ha'la'tha]], a [[Tauron]]-based criminal organization similar to future Earth's [[wikipedia:Cosa Nostra|La Cosa Nostra]] and [[wikipedia:Yakuza|Yakuza]] and other organized crime organizations. Both himself and his brother Joseph came to Caprica as orphans from Tauron after their parents were killed in the Tauron civil war. Their father was named William, namesake of Sam's nephew. Joseph Adams, who changed his family name from Adama after he came to Caprica in part to escape the virulent anti Tauron racism, became a mob lawyer after the [[Guatrau]] of the Ha'la'tha paid for his law school education. In return Joseph became the lawyer for soldiers of the organization and also bribes public officials including judges to grease the wheels of justice in the Ha'la'tha's favor. Sam became an enforcer assassin for the organization. The two brothers have a very close relationship. Sam is very angry at the lost of his niece [[Tamara Adama|Tamara Adams]] and his sister in law and vows to reek vengeance on those who murdered them.

Joseph Adams is given an assignment delivering a message to the Caprican Minister of Defense [[Val Chambers]] when he shows independence from the Halafa after he taking their monies and favors to help him in his career including the office he now held. Joseph request time to think about it and is granted that time by the boss. After a request from Dr. [[Daniel Graystone]] to use his mob connections to steal a critical piece of technology from the [[Vergis Corporation]] in which they could make perfect replicas of their daughters, Joseph takes up the assignment and goes to deliver the Ha'la'tha's message to the Minister. Chambers in response refuse to be intimidated and hurls racist invective at Joseph and threatens an investigation of the Ha'la'tha and their lawyers. In response to the defiance of the Ha'la'tha and threats to investigate, the organization orders Sam Adama to kill him and he murders him in his own bed by slitting his throat and stabbing him several times in the midsection.
