Tips

culture

亚当 (Yàdāng) is the standard transliteration of 'Adam' — used both for biblical Adam (亚当与夏娃 Adam and Eve) and modern given names. 托沃斯 'Tuōwòsī' renders 'Towers/Towse' — 托 'tuō' = 'To-', 沃 'wò' = '-w-', 斯 'sī' = '-s'. Most likely a translated novel character; the full string suggests British/American fiction.

memory

The middle dot · is standard in Chinese for separating foreign given names from family names (cf. 哈利·波特 Harry Potter).
