His neatly combed, short white hair and beard frame his smallish, bespectacled face. His dark brown eyes convey a softness and compassion that his associates and students find comforting and relaxing. His smile is always small, and his soft laughter never reveals more than a few teeth. Adon constantly mumbles to himself as he thinks about his research, class, or problems he wraps his mind around. Adon is constantly looking up or down, examining his environment as he thinks out loud. Because of this behavior, his students often refer to him as “Absent-Minded Adon”.

While stern with his students and with those he interacts, Adon is a compassionate man, unwilling to harm even the lowliest of god’s creatures. Adon conveys a slight elitist attitude with his academic air, although he never does this intentionally to demean anyone. He is a friendly individual and willing to talk with anyone on almost anything, although any discussions of the physical sciences generates an intense interest that is difficult to quell. Adon is rather resistant to change and requires a significant amount of evidence to change his mind on a particular subject. When employed in his research, he loses all sense of time, total engrossing himself in his projects. During these times he demands mental and physical perfection from himself as well as those students working for him.</p><p></p><p><strong>Background:</strong> Adon Ashe was born August 1, 1880 in Arcadia, Wisconsin. Adon’s father, a blacksmith, died soon after his birth due to an unfortunate hunting accident. His mother was forced to raise Adon and his older brother alone. The family moved to LaCrosse and eventually Milwaukee, working at odd jobs to finance their living expenses and keep the two boys in school. Adon had a natural aptitude for the physical sciences and mathematics. During his teenage years, Adon worked after school and during the summer at the Paris Chemical Company in Milwaukee, which eventually sponsored his admission into the University of Wisconsin at Madison in 1898. His brother also went on to the University of Wisconsin to star in athletics before returning to Milwaukee as a policeman.</p><p></p><p>Adon immersed himself in the sciences while at Madison, taking as many courses as he could in chemistry, physics, and mathematics. In 1902 he left Wisconsin to pursue his doctoral work at Harvard studying the thermodynamic and spectroscopic properties of metals and metal complexes.

Under dark circumstances he was forced to leave the university after seven years because of an incident with a female student. The student’s father blackmailed Adon after the sexual tryst between Adon and his young lover was revealed.

Adon spent his early years at Miskatonic U. researching the notes of the original Miskatonic professors that had investigated the meteor impact site. Adon also spent many hours in that dreaded place, taking soil samples and searching in vain for fragments of the meteor.
