Clive's means of support were [[Kelley]], [[Elza]], and his life in the [[Howling Voice Guild]]. To be denied that life by what had happened between Kelley and Elza filled Clive with a rage that fueled his obsession with tracking down and punishing Elza. Ruthless, he had little hesitation in threatening or shooting anyone who would obstruct his pursuit.

Ruthless, he had little hesitation in threatening or shooting anyone who would obstruct his pursuit.
He knew [[Nash Latkje]] from his time in the Howling Voice Guide and disliked him, even though his death sentence for leaving the guild was postponed indefinitely.


He did not open up to anyone else. During his time in the [[Toran Liberation Army]], he distanced himself from his colleagues and had little interest in their goal. Even though he had some gratitude towards the hero's help during the [[Dunan Unification War]], he still kept his thoughts to himself for the most part. When Elza fell, however, Clive unleashed his grief and sadness at everything that had happened.

Ever on the hunt, by the time the [[Gate Rune War]] was over, Clive had left the Liberation Army and simply resumed his quest.

Later, he participated in the [[Dunan Unification War]], continuing to gain information about [[Elza]]. He caught up to her in [[Muse City]] but the fugitive managed to escape, using the hero as a shield to cover her fire. From there, Clive would pursue Elza to [[South Window City]] only for him to lost her trail. He knew she had gone to [[Lakewest]], but without a ship had no means to pursue her. He would once again meet the hero and, upon learning that he had access to a vessel, agreed to aid the [[New State Army]] in return for travel.

In Lakewest, he would receive a taunting note from Elza, while in the [[Forest Village]], he would mistakenly confront a woman Elza had paid to disguise herself as his target. He was also one step behind in [[Rockaxe]], but learned her next location; Radat.

As the war continued, Clive showed off the power of his gun, [[Storm]], whose embedded soul and technological advantage allowed him to overwhelm the enemy. In Radat, he finally managed to confront Elza and the two engaged in a duel. However, at Elza's command, Storm refused to fire and Clive was wounded in turn, shot through the arm and leg. He would survive thanks to the intervention of Dr. [[Huan]], sore and shocked at his survival.

Confronting Elza at [[Jowston Hill]], Clive was unable to get her to reveal why she had spared his life. She set the stage for their final confrontation, [[Sajah Village]], a small village in the far north of the [[Highland Kingdom]], before leaving. Clive's gun once more refused to fire as she walked away.

She set the stage for their final confrontation, [[Sajah Village]], a small village on the northwestern frontier of the [[Highland Kingdom]], before leaving. Clive's gun once more refused to fire as she walked away.


At the end of the war, Clive would finally meet Elza for their final confrontation in Sajah Village. The two Guild members had a graceful duel. Both would fire their shots, but only Elza fell, as she had planned all along. On the verge of death, Elza told Clive the truth about the death of Kelley and the manipulative forces behind it all, how Kelley and Elza had been forced into a duel, how Kelley had allowed himself to be killed, and how Clive was chosen to cover it all up.

After a respectful burial for the woman he hunted, Clive returned to the Guild and took the position of Guildmaster. Whether Clive accepted the necessity of the deaths of his friends, or if he intended to reform or challenge the Guild as its leader is known only to himself.
