Brilliant, explosive, passionate and violent. Clayton Danvers, turned as a child, was a feral werewolf in the New Orleans swamps until he was found by Jeremy, who then raised him as his son. Now a Professor of Anthropology, Clay divides his time between his scholastic research and enforcing the pack code while keeping errant Mutts in line.

He is the most loyal member of the pack, sworn by life oath to Jeremy. His deep burning love for Elena may be tested through the years, but it never wavers: she is the only woman he has ever loved, and will ever love.

He's a genius, with a high IQ (160) and a PhD in anthropology. "Clay was one of
those detestable people blessed with both genius-level intelligence and drop-dead-gorgeous looks. Blue eyes, dark blond curls, and a rugged face straight out of magazine. Match that with a powerful body and you have a package that wouldn't go unnoticed in the middle of a Chippendales convention". He's also antisocial and instinct driven.

Clayton met Elena at Toronto University, where he was a Professor, in Anthropology. Elena was studying to become a journalist. Clayton hid the fact that he was a werewolf from Elena. After dating for a few months, Clayton proposed to Elena and she accepted. When he took her back to his home to meet his adoptive father, Jeremy Danvers. Clayton bit Elena because he was afraid Jeremy was going to send Elena home, which were indeed his initial intentions. In biting Elena, Clay was temporarily banished from the pack, which lasted about a year. This also caused a lot of tension between the two. However, this was eventually resolved after Clay asked Jeremy to plan a nice Christmas for Elena and she found out about the nice gesture. The two reconciled on-and-off for around a decade before Elena left for Toronto for a year. She returned to find Clay waiting, and the two have been inseperable since.

Clayton is the bodyguard of Pack Alpha, Jeremy Danvers. He was adopted by Jeremy after being discovered in the bayou outside Baton Rouge, Louisiana as a young child by Jeremy's father, Malcolm. He was saved by Jeremy, before the rest of the Pack came to the bayou, as they would've killed him. Having already changed into a werewolf at age 6, he has a very strong wolf mentality. His official date of birth is January 15th, 1962, though his true date of birth is unknown. He is very close to Nick Sorrentino, as they are childhood friends. And Nick would do just about anything (within Pack Laws) for Clay.
