Carson Clinkscales was born on Grayson in the late 19th Century PD. He was the nephew of Howard Clinkscales, and grew up in Mackenzie Steading. His father was killed in a training accident when he was eight.
He later joined the Grayson Space Navy and was promoted to Ensign sometime prior to 1911 PD, serving as Commodore Honor Harrington's flag lieutenant in the Eighteenth Cruiser Squadron.
He was among those captured when HMS Prince Adrian was taken by the People's Navy in the Adler System. During the escape from PNS Tepes, he acquitted himself extremely well, killing a StateSec sergeant and being among those who survived and secretly landed on the prison planet Hades. ()
The experience got him over his shyness and notorious clumsiness, and Admiral Harrington liked the changes in him. He was the first person to discover celery for Nimitz on Styx. ()
By the time of his uncle's death in 1920 PD, he had been promoted to Lieutenant Commander. ()
Holding the rank of Commander around 1920 PD, he served as commanding officer of GNS Erastus. ()
