## Character History

### Building Chaos Theosis

Not much is known about Clyde's history, but at some point he was contacted by Trent Donnovich to put together a clan of players to shut down the online network. He would bring in Kylie Fitzgerald and Adam MacIntyre before approaching the MLG clan Unrivaled Fury to join. While Lockdown, Deadeye, and Road Rage would decline, Duncan Douglas would ultimately join Clyde. Clyde would deny Speedzone and Deathlok membership to the clan.

At some point, Clyde would make a deal with Silent Strike to be their mole in the TOSERS organization.

### Chaos Theosis vs TOSERS

When the Terms of Service Enforcement and Response Squad (TOSERS) was created, Clyde and the newly formed Chaos Theosis would send a threatening message to the Online Multiplayer Network Administration to shut down the TOSERS, or they would go into matchmaking and begin fragging every player they encountered in-game.

When the OMN refused to respond to the threats, Chaos Theosis would join a TOSERS tryout match and attack the players in it. However, four of the players proved to be more trouble than they thought. These players were the Arbiter, Master Chief, Cameron Jones, and Cody Hammond. Clyde himself would attack them and force them to retreat, before cornering them alongside Duncan, Adam, and Kylie. He would attempt to intimidate the four before fragging Cameron for taunting him. Shortly before he would frag Arbiter, a squad of TOSERS arrived and drove Clyde and the rest of Chaos Theosis out.

Afterwards, Clyde and Chaos Theosis would attack online matchmaking, taking out every TOSERS moderator and player they came across. However, the OMN administration only ended up doubling their efforts to crack down on the clan, which caused Clyde to hold a clan meeting to inform the rest of the clan what was happening.

Sometime after, Clyde and Adam would visit an underground hack dealership and stumble upon Arbiter and Master Chief attempting to acquire the hacks from the dealers. This caused a firefight to erupt, resulting in just Clyde, Adam, Arbiter, and Chief being the only ones left. Clyde would run into Arbiter, forcing the two into a standoff. He would commend Arbiter for lasting this long. Arbiter told Clyde it was over, to which Clyde responded that things were just getting started before Adam showed up and threatened Arbiter. Chief would arrive and nearly assassinate Adam, to which Clyde would warn Adam before a blackout shut off Arbiter and Chief's Xbox and caused them to disconnect.

After the fight, Silent Strike would invite Clyde and Chaos Theosis to the TOSERS hub, before the clan began to attack the base and frag every moderator in sight. By the end of the fight, only Arbiter, Chief, and Claire Ferguson were left. However, rather than frag them, Clyde decided to let them go before Adam would blow Claire up with a remote grenade.

### Fragging

After the disbanding of TOSERS, Clyde would contact Trent, who would order Clyde to move onto phase two. Clyde would then reveal to the rest of Chaos Theosis that now that TOSERS was out of the way, they could move onto the next part of the plan: taking down the entire network. While Kylie and Adam were all for this due to the monetary incentive, Duncan was more skeptical, which made Clyde wary of him.

After this Arbiter and Master Chief began fragging members of Chaos Theosis one-by-one. Along with Kylie, Clyde betrayed Duncan, who chose to abandon Chaos Theosis after finding out their real motives. Adam and Kylie were both fragged by Arbiter and Master Chief. Clyde was seen arguing over Skype with Kylie about how she was fragged by the Chief. Clyde then informs her that she is not getting any payment for getting fragged by Chief, because he considered Chief to be "the most retarded player on the network".

When he hung up on Kylie, he gets fragged in a surprise assault by Arbiter and Chief, finally putting an end to Chaos Theosis. Master Chief and Arbiter access his account, having found out the password ("pussyjuice"), to find out he was being employed by Trent Donnovich. However, Clyde wasn't completely out of the picture. He managed to find one of his old consoles, thus having another console and account. After searching for it for three hours, he joined a server where Chief and Arbiter were attacking Trent and stood between them while Trent escaped. At one point, he cornered the two behind a warthog, before Arbiter managed to frag him with a DMR headshot, much to Chief's delight.

### Return

After his fragging by Arbiter a second time, Clyde would begin to work for money, doing odd jobs and the like to pay for a new console, account, and Xbox. At one point, he discovered that Duncan was setting up the Hacker Removal Squad, and discover Brainiac as well through an acquaintance of Trent Donnovich. He would bring this information to Brainiac, who gave him new hacks and a monetary sum for bringing this to light, before asking him to watch and wait for further instructions.

At some point, Clyde was in the Halo Harem, where he was watching the dances before seeing Shay escorting Duncan, Arbiter, Master Chief, and Autumn Washington to go see Lydia Johnson. After realizing who they were, he would notify Brainiac, who sent Lockdown, Speedzone, and Deathlok to investigate.

As this happened, Brainiac would pair Clyde and Kylie up again, forcing the two to work together despite their animosity towards each other and lure the HRS in by capturing the current head of the OMN, Jay Harrington. Brainiac would give Clyde a specialized energy sword laced with a virus that would blow up the Xbox of any player he fragged with it, albeit with only one use. After fragging all of the moderators and capturing Jay, Clyde would have Jay read out a message for Duncan, Arbiter, and Master Chief, taunting them and egging them to come face him.

Once the three arrived with the HRS, Clyde revealed himself, chastising Duncan for his betrayal and becoming the very thing he swore to destroy, before angrily addressing Arbiter and Master Chief for fragging him years earlier. He then attacked the three, before getting cornered by the HRS, forcing Kylie to lend him a hand. After a firefight between the HRS and the two Chaos Theosis members, Clyde managed to hold Jason Burns hostage, and taunted Duncan and the HRS. After Duncan pleaded for Clyde to let Jason go, Clyde refused and fragged Jason with the energy sword, causing Jason's Xbox to combust and kill him. Shortly after, Deathlok arrived and escorted Clyde and Kylie to safety.
