Adisa

resentful observant skeptical defiant witty
Adisa acts as personal servant to Lord and Lady Ruthven aboard the Demeter. He shows fierce loyalty to Dorabella, whom he treats as family, while nursing deep resentment toward Ruthven for exploiting her. Quick to spot omens like flies and sense unnatural threats, he mutters warnings and confronts predators directly. His sharp wit emerges in banter with Dr. Sharma, and suppressed rage fuels defiance against Dracula's manipulations. Skeptical of supernatural excuses, grief over losses drives his bold interruptions and final reckless stand.
