Aderes lived in Tristram. She married a tanner and had a son with him named Deckard. Despite Deckard's wishes to the contrary, she insisted that he take the name of Cain, rather than his father's surname. In her later years, she would tell the children of the village tales of the deeds of the Horadrim, in their quest to imprison the Prime Evils. She would tell the same stories more than once, and they became more extravagant each time.
