Clay

"I ain't in it for the money."

**Clayton Davis**, known as Clay for short, is the playable Rogue class in *Borderlands Unhinged.*

## Background

Nothing much is known of Clay before he met Montgomery Jakobs, although he mentions in some dialogue that he was named "Clay" by his mother due to him being "dumber than dirt", to which Clay would always ask why she didn't just call him "Dirt".

Clay used to be an intergalactic smuggler until he was caught by Montgomery Jakobs, CEO of the Jakobs corporation, while scrounging for items with his buddy Archimedes. When Montgomery spared Clay's life instead of sending him to The Anvil, Clay abandoned his smuggling clan and allied himself with the Jakobs family.

His loyalty to anyone affiliated to the Jakobs corporation is sincere, as he declined a cash offer from Aurelia Hammerlock to betray the Vault Hunters. In his words, he is not into protecting the Jakobs corporation for the money, as they were the closest thing to family he had.

After the slaughter of the Calypso Twins, Clay decided to become a Crimson Raider and Vault Hunter himself.

In addition to possessing four action skills, Clay has the ability to summon one of four holo-pets to travel alongside him, each with varying abilities and attributes to assist in combat.

### Holo-Pets

Similar to FL4K, Clay can summon a holo-pet. These holo-pets act the same as FL4K's pets, automatically fighting any enemies they encounter. This will continue until the death of said pet. In this case, a cooldown period will begin, at the end of which the selected pet will respawn automatically to join Clay once again. All holo-pets are tied to Clay's Whisperer skill tree. As skill points are put into this tree, new evolutionary forms will be unlocked for the associated pet, changing their stats and appearance.

#### Holo-Jabber

* Clay is joined by a Holo-Jabber that picks up any weapons not collected by the player and attacks enemies with them. While accompanied by the Holo-Jabber, Clay's movement speed is increased.
	+ Movement Speed: +5.0%

#### Holo-Webber

* Clay is joined by a Holo-Webber that imparts him with health regeneration. The Holo-Webber will occasionally produce ammo. (Clay will say things like "Thanks for the surprise, little guy." and "Huh, where were you keepin' that?)
	+ Health Regeneration: +1.0% of Max Health/sec

#### Holo-Skag

* Clay is joined by a Holo-Skag that increases Clay's damage while it is with him.
	+ Damage: +5.0%

#### Holo-Saurian

* Clay is joined by a loyal Holo-Saurian. The Holo-Saurian is an Uplifted Ravager wearing a Maliwan laser visor. While the Holo-Saurian is selected, Clay gains increased resistance to all elemental damage. The Holo-Saurian will also create homing elemental orbs that can be shot to trigger a elemental nova.
	+ Elemental Resistance: +30.0%

## Trivia

* Despite his hate of the COV when it was still around, he seems to be slightly impressed with the Calypso Twins' ability to command an entire army of Psycho followers, due to most companies wanting the same amount of manpower, but end up treating Psychos like ""malcontents and air breathers like the galaxy's dead skin".
* For unknown reasons, Clay has a Vault symbol brand on his right arm.
* In his voice lines, he repeatedly brings up instances where he learned something new from different people that he killed.
* He's in his late twenties.
	+ Clay admits that his outfit was inspired by Western films.
	+ Clay says that Konnor has helped him with several missions, but has had to remind him on some occasions that he "doesn't swing that way" when Konnor flirts with him.

* Like the other three Vault Hunters, Clay has a specific weapon that can be dropped from ANY loot source but at a very VERY low chance (of 0.5%), that weapon being the Smooth Operator.
