Sheriff Clayton Steele

Sheriff Clayton Steele is an NPC from the Bitter Creek campaign. He is a doppelganger of the real sheriff, but is still a ranger. He protects the town of Bitter Creek.
== Personality ==
Clayton is a tough, hardy person with a good soul and good eye for the law. He tries to keep the town safe however possible.
== History ==
=== Disguise ===
At some point before the events of the Bitter Creek campaign, Clayton had accidentally gotten the actual sheriff killed. Out of guilt and fear of prosecution, he took on the real sheriff's form and took his name, acting as the sheriff for decades to come.
=== Bitter Creek Campaign ===
Clayton first encountered the party after they had won a gunfight against Glenn Hartford. He offered them a bounty to bring in the other remaining members of the Hartford Gang, dead or alive. The party claimed these bounties one by one, eventually traveling to Snakewood to collect the remainder. After the party returned to claim Nick's bounty, Clayton arrived in Snakewood noticeably dissheveled. When questioned, Clayton's disguise started to fade, and his true nature was revealed. After expositing what had happened in the past, Amra felt sympathy for him and let him keep doing what he was doing.
After the party claimed Sooty's bounty, Steele was noticeably absent from the remainder of the campaign for unknown reasons, missing out on the redemption of Blackheart and the defeat of Sorgan.
