He started his adventure when he was 16. Throughout the series there are some running gag of Adol's adventure in the series: - He always starts his adventures by drifting upon a shore, due to his boat being broken or such due to accident, this doesn't apply in Ys Seven, since Adol managed to get to Altago safely without being drifted apart, this fact even surprise Dogi himself, regarding his luck with boats. - For gaming reason, he will always begin the game with the weakest equipment, despite him obtaining a strong weapon and accesories in the previous games. He would always leave for another adventure after making the girls in the game falls for him (Lilia, Elena, and Isha). - Adol is the only human character in Ys series that has red hair.
