| - Adad in Akkadian and Ishkur in Sumerian and Hadad in Aramaic, are the names of the storm-god in the Babylonian-Assyrian pantheon, both usually written by the logogram dIM. The Akkadian god Adad is cognate in name and functions with northwest Semitic god Hadad. In Akkadian Adad is also known as Ramman ("Thunderer") cognate with Aramaic Rimmon which was a byname of the Aramaic Hadad. Ramman was formerly incorrectly taken by many scholars to be an independent Babylonian god later identified with the Amorite god Hadad. The Sumerian Ishkur appears in the list of gods found at Fara but was of far less importance than the Akkadian Adad later became, probably partly because storms and rain are scarce in southern Babylonia and agriculture there depends on irrigation instead. Also, the gods Enlil and Ninurta also had storm god features which decreased Ishkur's distinctiveness. He sometimes appears as the assistant or companion of one or the other of the two. When Enki distributed the destinies, he made Ishkur inspector of the cosmos. In one litany Ishkur is proclaimed again and again as "great radiant bull, your name is heaven" and also called son of An, lord of Karkara; twin-brother of Enki, lord of abundance, lord who rides the storm, lion of heaven. In other texts Adad/Ishkur is sometimes son of the moon god Nanna/Sin by Ningal and brother of Utu/Shamash and Inana/Ishtar. He is also occasionally son of Enlil. Adad/Ishkur's consort (both in early Sumerian and later Assyrian texts) was Shala, a goddess of grain, who is also sometimes associated with the god Dagan. She was also called Gubarra in the earliest texts. The fire god Gibil (named Gerra in Akkadian) is sometimes the son of Ishkur and Shala. Adad/Ishkur's special animal is the bull. He is naturally identified with the Anatolian storm-god Teshub. Occasionally Adad/Ishkur is identified with the god Amurru, the god of the Amorites. The Babylonian center of Adad/Ishkur's cult was Karkara in the south, his chief temple being E. Karkara; his spouse Shala his was worshipped in a temple named E. Durku. But among the Assyrians his cult was especially developed along with his warrior aspect. From the reign of Tiglath-Pileser I (1115–1077 BCE), Adad had a double sanctuary in Assur which he shared with Anu. Anu is often associated with Adad in invocations. The name Adad and various alternate forms and bynames (Dadu, Bir, Dadda) are often found in the names of the Assyrian kings. Adad/Ishkur presents two aspects in the hymns, incantations, and votive inscriptions. On the one hand he is the god who, through bringing on the rain in due season, causes the land to become fertile, and, on the other hand, the storms that he sends out bring havoc and destruction. He is pictured on monuments and cylinder seals (sometimes with a horned helmet) with the lightning and the thunderbolt (sometimes in the form of a spear), and in the hymns the sombre aspects of the god on the whole predominate. His association with the sun-god, Shamash, due to the natural combination of the two deities who alternate in the control of nature, leads to imbuing him with some of the traits belonging to a solar deity. Shamash and Adad became in combination the gods of oracles and of divination in general. Whether the will of the gods is determined through the inspection of the liver of the sacrificial animal, through observing the action of oil bubbles in a basin of water or through the observation of the movements of the heavenly bodies, it is Shamash and Adad who, in the ritual connected with divination, are invariably invoked. Similarly in the annals and votive inscriptions of the kings, when oracles are referred to, Shamash and Adad are always named as the gods addressed, and their ordinary designation in such instances is bele biri ("lords of divination").
- Adad, the Visage of Storms is one of the Apocalyptic Forms available to the Fallen, specifically those of the House of Lammasu. The Adad resemble the waters and weather they rule, with green skin and electrical discharges crawling over their bodies. When they become consumed with Torment, quills grow from their shoulders, they grow the teeth and skin of a shark, and may spew clouds of inky mist. Sometimes, the pollutants and contaminants of the sea also manifest themselves in the Adad's form. The Adad were, at their most basic, charged with controlling water from the depths of the seas to the vapor in the skies. Like the Nusku, the Ellil, and the Kishar, their job at manipulating the elements makes them somewhat more grounded in reality than other Fallen. Therefore, the Adad are the least idealistic of the Lammasu, able to deal more in reality than the Ishhara and the Mammetum. They remain fiercely proud of their work to this day; after all, seventy percent of the world's surface remains covered by their endeavours. However, some Adad seem to remember a role they once served as a destroyer for God, flooding the world to purify it. These modern fallen remain convinced they're supposed to do it again.
- Około 1510 Adad został zatrudniony przez Bizantyjczyków do pracy dla nich w Masjafie. Nie wiedząc, czego dokładnie szukać, Adad stracił cały rok na lokalizację przedsionka do biblioteki Altaïra. Po tym osiągnięciu próbował przebić się przez drzwi, jednak przez trzy miesiące nie był w stanie zrobić najmniejszej rysy w kamieniu, który wydawał się twardszy niż stal. W marcu 1511 roku przedsionek został odkryty przez asasyna Ezia Auditore, który również starał się wejść do biblioteki. Asasyn zabił strażników nadzorujących pracę Adada, a potem zwrócił się do niego dla informacji. Adad powiedział mu wszystko, co wiedział, ujawniając, że kapitan templariuszy miał pewien dziennik, który zawierał informacje na temat kluczy do biblioteki. Ezio kazał mu opuścić Masjaf i rozpocząć pracę z uczciwymi ludźmi. Adad odpowiedział, że chciałby, ale obawia się odwetu templariuszy. Aby obejść go asasyn dał mu trochę pieniędzy i zaprowadził go do bezpiecznego miejsca.

The Assassin killed the guards overseeing Adad's work, and then asked the worker for information. Adad told him all he knew, revealing that the Captain had a certain journal that contained information on the keys to the library. Ezio told him to leave Masyaf, and start working with honest people, to which Adad replied that he would love to, but feared retaliation from the Templars. To circumvent this, the Assassin gave him some money, and escorted him to safety.
