Family-Oriented: While not a man with many friends, Clint is the embodiment of a family man. He sees family as the most important thing in his life. He's fiercely defensive and loyal towards them and feels a lot of loss from the deaths of his parents and wife. His bond with his daughter is the thing he holds closest to his heart, and with the last contact he had with her being before the fog, he has no idea if she's still alive.

Workaholic: Clint has always had a strong work ethic. This is a product of the environment he was raised in. He's a strong believer in the idea of earning your keep, and as a result often judges people based on their work ethics. As he's grown older this has taken on a different meaning, as throwing himself into a work has become somewhat of a coping mechanism.

Outdoorsy: Clint loves the outdoors, whether it's camping, hunting, fishing or hiking. As a result he's acquired an interesting array of survival skills, such as animal tracking, firearm utilization and identifying and equipping proper fishing gear. He's no Bear Grylls but he can handle himself.

Simple: The best way to describe Clint is simple. He's an old fashioned man that likes everything in his life to be basic. He's easily satisfied and there's a lot of things he doesn't understand, and when things get too complicated he can get frustrated. This can extend from things like newer technology to other people. He's straight forward and appreciates it when people are the same way to him.

Clint grew up on a farm a few hours west of Hvass as the youngest of three brothers. He learned to work hard at a young age and earn his keep. His father was also an avid outdoorsman, and brought his boys north with him for monthly excursions to hunt, fish or camp. By the time he was 17, both of his older parents had passed away, which left Clint and his brothers on their own. They left as the years went by and they started families of their own. This left Clint on his own with the farm, but not for long.

In his early 20s, he met a young woman from Chicago named Alice and they hit it off. She took every opportunity she could to get out of the city and go fishing or camping with him, and they'd go on to get married. They quickly had a daughter they named Savannah. From there, Clint lived the ideal family lifestyle on his old farm. He had everything he wanted, living a lifestyle he enjoyed the way he was raised with a family he loved very much. This came to an abrupt end when Alice tragically died in a car accident. It was heartbreaking, but brought Clint and Savannah closer together. Eventually it was time for Savannah to go to university, and she moved to Chicago to do so. This left Clint on the farm by himself, and he realized he just couldn't handle the upkeep on his own. He tried to see if either of his brothers would take it off his hands but they'd already settled in to new jobs in new towns, so he decided to sell it and move to the nearby town of Hvass. The decision was painful, as Clint felt in a way he was selling the memories he had with his family, but with the money he made off of the sale, he decided to start his own business. Fueled by his memories with his wife and his father, he opened an Outdoor Equipment Store so he'd still be working with something he was comfortable with. While he enjoyed his work, with his daughter in Chicago, he didn't like returning to an empty house every night. He started working himself to the bone and spending nights sleeping in the back of the store. The night of the fog was one of those nights.
