Biography Edit

Before the Gate Rune WarsEdit

Feeling threatened, the existing Elders of the Howling Voice Guild rigged a duel between Kelley (their choice for Guild Master) and Elza (who had gained the acceptance of the Guild Master's sentient rifle, Storm, whereas Kelley had not). The two were pitted against each other with the Guild's sacred dual pistols, Star and Moon. The duel took place early in the morning, and Clive, who had spent the previous night with Elza, slept through it, unaware of what was transpiring. Clive later awoke to find Kelley dead, Elza missing, and the Elders telling him that one of his best friends was responsible for murdering the other. Swearing vengeance, Clive then set off with Storm with the intent of finding Elza and killing her for her betrayal.

Gate Rune Wars (Suikoden)Edit

Clive's search for Elza leads him to the Scarlet Moon Empire. While searching for traces of Elza in Rikon, Clive encounters Tir, and decides to offer his services to the Liberation Army. During the war, Clive finds a grave in Rockland, but isn't fooled by the attempt to throw him off the trail.

Post Gate Rune WarsEdit

By the time the war ended, Clive had already disappeared.

Dunan Unification War (Suikoden II)Edit

Riou first encounters Elza in Muse, where she gives him Moon and Star in parcels temporarily. Riou then is accosted by Clive, but almost as quickly dismissed. When trying to leave Muse Elza hails Riou to retake her parcels, then uses Riou as a shield to take a shot at Clive. Clive evades the shot then pursues Elza. Riou again encounters Clive in South Window, where Clive offers to join the Dunan Army if Riou can give him passage to Lakewest. Riou accepts, and they travel west. At Lakewest they find Elza has left Clive a letter at the Inn, taunting him to follow her to Forest Village. There in a clearing behind the village Clive think's he's finally caught up to her, only to find it's a stand in employed by Elza to be there. Clive picks up some more clues of Elza's location in Rockaxe castle when accompanying Riou there on a diplomatic mission. This leads them to Radat, where Clive confronts Elza. However, Storm refuses to fire and Clive is hit, and has to be taken to North Window Castle to be treated by Huan for his injuries. Clive once again catches up to Elza at Jowston Hill in Muse, but once again Storm won't fire. He finally catches up with Elza and the two take part in a duel at Sajah, Elza's hometown. There he learns the truth from Elza as she lays dying. The guns in Kelley and Elza's duel had been rigged, with Star loaded and Moon unloaded, and Kelley had been told by the Elders to take Star. Unwilling to become their puppet, he took Moon instead. His dying words to Elza were "I loved you and Clive." Similarly, Elza rigged the guns and chose Moon in her duel with Clive, seeking punishment for her crime. She dies in Clive's arms while telling him to return to the Guild, as it is "the only place for (him)" and become Storm's keeper.

Post Dunan Unification WarEdit

After the war Clive goes on to become the new Master of the Howling Voice Guild.

SuikodenEdit

Recruiting Edit

He joins when spoken to when he appears at the Inn in Rikon. He appears there at random starting after events in Lorimar.

Character DetailsEdit

Unite AttacksEdit

Clive has no Unite Attacks

RunesEdit

Attached RunesEdit

Clive has no attached Runes

Recommended RunesEdit

Rear line physical runes are helpful. Due to his high speed stat and good backrow combat skills, Clive makes good use of the Spark Rune, a Killer Rune is also handy. Though magic isn't his forte, he can be competent as a back-up support spell caster with a Earth Rune or Water Rune.

CombatEdit

Clive is a strong rear line fighter, his gun Storm can do as much damage as some of the front line S type fighters, and his speed stat is exceptional. He is physical and magic defense are not great, so keep him in the back row. With a careful set-up, Clive can be a very versatile main fighter/support unit in combat.
