Samantha Clayton

Samantha Clayton was a character in Season 4 and 5 of Arrow. She the classmate of both Laurel Lance and Oliver Queen. She had an affair with Oliver and mothered their son, William Clayton and raised him away from the influence of his relatives, after his grandmother Moira paid Samantha 2 million dollars to move away to Central City and tell Oliver that she lost the baby. 
Samantha was tragically killed during the explosion of the island Lian Yu in Adrian Chase's campaign against Oliver Queen, but told Oliver to be a father to William (who didn't need to lose both his parents) 
She was based on Sandra Moonday Hawke (one time lover of Oliver Queen and the mother of his son Connor Hawke, who William was based on). 
== History ==
Samantha's last request was for Oliver to be a father for their son. Her death not only influenced Oliver's decision to do so, but also prompted Slade to advise Oliver on developing a better father-son relationship with William by quitting to be a vigilante. 
William partially blamed Oliver for her death because he had not been able to save her.. However, after a heart to heart, William and his father reconciled. After some time, William later feared losing his father when he became the Green Arrow once more.
