'''William Adama Sr.''' was the father of [[Joseph Adama]] and [[Sam Adama]] and was a native of [[Tauron]].

During the [[Tauron Civil War]], William and his wife [[Isabelle Adama|Isabelle]] were members of the [[Ha'la'tha]] resistance.  After a member of the [[Heracleides |Herac]] militia was killed outside their home (and William's son Sam stole his weapon), Herac soldiers killed Isabelle and tortured Joseph in their own home.  William's son Joseph killed the Herac soldiers and then, at William's request, killed his father using the stolen handgun ([[CAP]]: "[[The Dirteaters]]"). 

Sixty-nine years before the [[Fall of the Twelve Colonies]], Joseph named his [[Willie Adama|first son]] after his father ([[CAP]]: "[[Caprica pilot|''Caprica'' pilot]]"). After his first son's death in 58 BCH, Joseph and his [[Evelyn Adama|second wife]] name their own son [[William Adama|William]] ([[CAP]]: "[[Here Be Dragons]]", "[[Apotheosis (episode)|Apotheosis]]").
