Adam Kane

Adam Kane is a brief antagonist encountered during the events of Dead Rising 3 who gains a more prominent role in the DLC Operation Broken Eagle. Unlike his superior General Hemlock, Kane is troubled by what he is ordered to do, but feels compelled by his strong sense of duty, making him an anti-villain.

Operation Broken Eagle
Kane is sent along with his troops into Los Perdidos in order to find and capture President Sonya Paddock, killing any Illegals they may come across in the process. During their entry via helicopter, Hunter Thibadeuax's biker gang attacks, causing the helicopter to crash and killing most of Kane's team. Kane continues onwards to a military compound he then clears of zombies and stocks with military weapons. As this goes on, Kane is forced to contend with fellow soldiers and agents.

Eventually, Kane captures the President and brings her to the compound. He witnesses her intentional zombificiation, caused by Hemlock ordering a worm to be force-fed to her, and is disgusted his commander's act. Kane disposes of the zombified President and is then ordered to destroy evidence of the military's crimes. Kane leaves the box of data untouched and feigns its destruction, deciding to follow what's good rather than what's lawful. However, he is then called in to intercept and kill an intruder seeking to free Illegals from the compound.

Dead Rising 3
Kane, referred to in-game as "Commander", appears as Nick makes his way into the compound and destroys its power generators to free his friends. Nick requires a key card to open the front gate and finds that it's in Kane's possession. Given no choice but to follow orders, Kane confronts and battles Nick in a boss fight, armed with his gun and grenades. Nick ultimately kills Kane and retrieves the key card from his corpse.
