==Story==
===Before ''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.

''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.''  
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.


''He first set his sights on the apes in "Tarzan" (1999).''
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.

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.
Clayton found [[Donald Duck|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 Clayton had nearly 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; the whereabouts of his body after the battle unknown, although it may have disappeared with the Heartless.

Clayton likes to be two faced, often times is seen being kind and innocent in front of [[Jane]] but when he is alone states evil plots to kill the gorillas. He is seen to be very determined and will stop at nothing to get what he wants, which in this case is the gorillas. It could probably be said he wishes to kill them simply for the chase.
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 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.

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.

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.

Clayton plots to hunt the gorillas in defiance of Jane.

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 Powerwilds and Bouncywilds, Clayton sends them to round up the gorillas and imprison Jane and Terk in the Climbing Trees.
