'''Clayton''' is an antagonist from ''{{c|Kingdom Hearts|game}}'', originally from the Disney animated film, ''{{w|Tarzan (1999 film)|Tarzan}}''.
'''Clayton''' is a villain from the ''[[Kingdom Hearts (game)|Kingdom Hearts]]'' series, originally from the 1999 Disney animated feature "Tarzan." He is voiced by Brian Blessed. Clayton was the only Disney villain in the first game who could control [[Heartless]] without being a part of Maleficent's council of Disney villains.


==Story==
==Journal Entries==
===Before ''Kingdom Hearts''===
===''Kingdom Hearts''===
Clayton was a big game hunter one time, but he retired from the profession. [[Jane Porter]] hired him to be her guide and guard while on expedition to the [[Deep Jungle]] to study gorillas later on. Clayton agreed, hoping to see such magnificent creatures in person. To their shock, they encountered [[Tarzan]], a human who was raised by gorillas since he was an infant. They taught him the basics of their language and attempted many times to persuade him to take them to see the nests. However, Tarzan would always decline, fearing for the safety of the gorillas. Clayton, due to his increasing disappointment, decided that if he was getting the chance, he would hunt down a few gorillas and sell them to zoos.
*'''First Entry'''
''A veteran hunter. He acts as Jane's guide on her expedition to the jungle. He thinks of animals only as prey, and dreams of the money to be made selling gorillas to zoos back at home.  


===''Kingdom Hearts''===
''He first set his sights on the apes in "Tarzan" (1999).''
Clayton finds [[Donald Duck|Donald]] and [[Goofy]] in a bamboo thicket after they land in Deep Jungle. Suspicion over Clayton's activity arises when Clayton quips that Donald and Goofy are "not much use for hunting gorillas", despite Jane bringing them there for research. He cajoles [[Tarzan]] into disclosing the location of their nesting grounds on the pretext of assisting Sora find his friends, but soon after Tarzan finally agrees, Clayton is caught at the Treehouse attempting to shoot the young gorilla [[Terk]]. Terk is rescued by Donald. And yet, Clayton attempts to deny his actions, he is strictly forbidden from seeing the gorillas by an outraged Jane.


[[File:Blasted Gorillas! 01 KH.png|thumb|200px|left|Clayton plots to hunt the gorillas in defiance of Jane.]]
*'''Second Entry'''
His fury and determination to hunt the gorillas lure the Heartless to him, and he shot at them in fear. However, the darkness in his heart takes control of him and Clayton decided to make use of these "animals" to carry out his plans. Commanding a small army of monkey-like [[Powerwild]]s and [[Bouncywild]]s, Clayton sends them to round up the gorillas and imprison Jane and Terk in the Climbing Trees. While Sora and Tarzan rescue Jane and Terk, Clayton manages to corner the gorillas at the cliff; unknown to him, the gorillas' home was right on the other side. As Sora and Tarzan show up on the scene, Tarzan realizes that Clayton is no longer himself and they mop up his army before they turn against him. At this moment, Clayton calls on his most forceful "servant"—the [[Stealth Sneak]], a chameleon-like Heartless capable of turning invisible. Sitting atop its back, he fights the party alongside the enormous Heartless but eventually they’re defeated. As Clayton infuriatingly begins sighting down for another shot, the dizzy and dying Stealth Sneak comes up behind him and eventually collapses on top of the hapless hunter, crucifying him. After the Heartless' body disappears, Clayton's has also vanished.
''A veteran hunter, Jane's guide on her expedition to the jungle. He thinks of animals only as prey. His lust for power and the darkness in his heart attracted the Heartless, and they used him for their own evil purposes.''  


Afterwards, [[Maleficent]] and her council of Disney villains comment on how the Heartless were drawn to Deep Jungle by Clayton and ridicule his failure to achieve his goals with the Heartless who joined him. [[Jafar]] takes this a step further by ridiculing that a weak-hearted fool like Clayton stood no chance against the Heartless.
''He first set his sights on the apes in "Tarzan" (1999).''


==Design==
==Story==
Clayton appears very tall, standing even larger than Tarzan and comparatively taller than [[Kerchak]]. He has thinning hair as well as a pencil thin mustache, which is mixed with his dignified English hunter attire; this shows a contrast between his dark and twisted personality and his appearance as an English gentleman.
=== ''Kingdom Hearts'' ===
Clayton found [[Donald]] and [[Goofy]] in a bamboo thicket after they landed in the Deep Jungle. Suspicion over Clayton's activity arose when Clayton said that Donald and Goofy were "not much use for hunting gorillas", when he and [[Jane|Jane Porter]] actually came there for research. He questioned Tarzan about the gorillas' nesting grounds, secretly desiring to hunt them down. Eventually Tarzan agreed to take him to the nesting grounds, but on their way there, Clayton attempted to shoot [[Terk]], a young gorilla and Tarzan's friend. He was stopped by [[Sora]], Donald, Goofy and Tarzan, and was forbidden by the furious Jane from approaching the gorillas. His anger and determination to hunt the gorillas lured the Heartless to him, and the darkness in his heart took him over. He kidnapped Jane and Terk and imprisoned them in the jungle. Then, he hunted out the location of the gorillas with the help of the Heartless. Just as he was about to kill them, Sora, Donald, Goofy and Tarzan arrived, finding that he has lost his heart. Sora and company did battle with him and his Heartless. Although he proved to be proficient at using a shotgun at long range and even close range, swinging it like a club, Clayton and his Heartless were easily defeated. Clayton, outnumbered, summoned a Heartless called the [[Stealth Sneak]], mounting it and starting a boss battle. When Clayton was thrown from his steed, Sora defeated him. Afterward, the Stealth Sneak fell and ultimately crushed Clayton to death; his body disappeared with the Heartless.


==Personality==
== Origin ==
Clayton has a very two-faced and manipulative demeanor. Oftentimes, he is seen being affable and law-abiding in front of Jane, but when he is alone, he mutters wicked plots to slaughter the gorillas. He is seen to be very persistent and will stop at nothing to get what he wants, which, in this particular case, is the gorillas. He seems to want to kill them simply for the thrill of the chase. He also appears weak-minded, as while they seemed attentive the Heartless were evidently controlling him instead.
Clayton wields a double-barrel shotgun, a weapon he uses to hunt all manner of creatures in the jungle. He joins Jane Porter and her father on an expedition to the jungle to "study" gorillas, but he secretly wishes to sell them to the zoos in England. He has little patience for [[Tarzan]], as he refuses to reveal the location of the gorillas.


==Abilities==
==In Battle==
{{main|Game:Clayton}}
{{main|Clayton (Enemy)}}
Clayton wields a shotgun in battle, which he uses to great effect for ranged attacks. He is not afraid to jump wildly around the battlefield to put some distance between himself and the party. He also fights alongside [[Powerwild]] Heartless. When his strength drops low, he makes use of potions to replenish his health, although Clayton has a limited number of potions.


He later rides atop the Stealth Sneak, firing from the safety of its back. Although the Stealth Sneak turns itself invisible, Clayton riding it and its own shadow make this irrelevant. The strategy in this stage of the battle is to lower the Heartless' HP below half, at which point it bucks wildly and sends Clayton flying. Clayton can be defeated without killing the Stealth Sneak after that.
==Quotes==
"''A circus of clowns. Not much use for hunting gorillas.''"<br>
"''Then take us there! Take us to the gorillas. Go-ril-las.''"<br>
"''He must be the leader. Perfect! I'll go along as an escort.''"<br>
"''Oh, a snake slithered by, you see. I saved the poor gorilla's life.''"<br>
"''What am I doing with these imbeciles?... Blasted gorillas! I'll hunt down every last one of them!''"<br>
"''I'll stake my life on it.''"


==Origin==
===Battle Quotes===
In the original Disney movie ''Tarzan'', Clayton is a hunter sent to escort Jane and her father to study the gorillas. Unlike in ''Kingdom Hearts'', where Clayton desired the gorillas as hunting trophies, Clayton is more interested in capturing them and selling them to the London zoo for a huge profit. After tricking Tarzan into showing him where the gorillas are, he has a band of criminals come to the jungle to take the gorillas, but Tarzan ignites a mutiny and thwarts his plans. In the ensuing battle, Clayton kills Kerchak, but after a long battle with Tarzan, he falls to his death from a tree and is hanged when a vine that was tightened around him violently cracks his neck.

==Trivia==
{{DisneyAntagonistDirectory}}
*A mistake many players make during the boss fight with Clayton and Stealth Sneak is taking out Clayton first so that they can take on Stealth Sneak easier. However, defeating Clayton ends the boss fight, whether Stealth Sneak is still alive or not.
[[Category:Antagonists]]
*It should be noted that while Clayton and the other major characters of Deep Jungle did not appear in ''[[Chain of Memories]]'' nor ''[[Re:Chain of Memories]]'' due to copyright reasons, Clayton was also a representation of darkness in Riku's heart as the other Disney villains who used the Heartless for their personal gain such as Maleficent. This would also help explain why the [[Queen of Hearts]] and her [[Card Soldiers]] are seen at the credits of [[Riku]]'s story instead of Clayton himself.
