Adam Eagle is an old Mohawk who lives in a small Indian community in the Adirondacks. He is the uncle of Hank Eagle and a decent of Dark Eagle. Like his nephew, Hank, Adam was a high-steel worker in his youth. He helped built the George Washington Bridge and the Empire State Building, but now works as carpenter and odd-job man. Adam believes in the Mohawk gods, and occasionally makes herbal remedies, by this he has come to be known as the village medicine man.
