Father of William Adama. Apparently hailing from Caprica.
He was a civil liberties lawyer (Litmus) and had divorced from Evelyn Adama when their son, William, was in his teens. Nevertheless, William later remarked that he thought Joseph was a better father than he ever was (The Hand of God).
Joseph always carried a silver lighter into his cases; he considered it good luck, and claimed he only lost a case when he left it at home. He later gave it to William, who, after the Fall of the Twelve Colonies, gave it to his son (The Hand of God).
