In-game Description

After the Fall of Phoenix Gate

Firstborn son of Archduke Elwin, ruler of Rosaria. Though all expected him to inherit the Phoenix’s flames and awaken as its Dominant, destiny instead chose his younger brother Joshua to bear that burden. In search of a role of his own, Clive dedicated himself to mastering the blade—and his practice paid off when he was appointed First Shield of Rosaria, tasked to guard the Phoenix and blessed with the ability to wield a part of his fire.

At the Battle of Nysa

A slave soldier for the Holy Empire of Sanbreque, now in his thirteenth year of servitude. Though drafted as a frontline infantryman, the magical might granted him by the Blessing of the Phoenix quickly saw him promoted to an elite squadron of assassins, where he was assigned the moniker by which he is now known. Their latest mission: to descend into the Nysa Defile, where bloody battle rages between the Iron Kingdom and the Republic of Dhalmekia, and take the head of Shiva’s Dominant

As Imperial Deserter

An imperial Bearer turned deserter after refusing to slay the Dominant of Shiva, choosing instead to turn his blade on his own sergeant. As a force of Crusaders closed around him, his freedom seemed as if it would be short-lived—until the timely intervention of Cid, a man who shared Clive’s desire to see the Dominant freed from their clutches. Together, they escape to 411 Cid’s secret hideaway.

After Ifrit’s Awakening

An imperial Bearer turned deserter, who joined forces with Cid to hunt down the second Dominant of Fire. However, after being drawn into a fierce battle with Benedikta, Dominant of Garuda, the power of the mysterious Eikon Ifrit awakes within him and he discovers that the Dominant of Fire he has long been searching for—the one who killed his brother—was none other but himself.

After Eastpool

An imperial Bearer turned deserter. He and his childhood friend Jill journey to their homeland of Rosaria to learn the truth of the events that shaped their histories. Their path takes them through the village of Eastpool, where they meet with Hanna Murdoch, wife of the late Lord Commander. She presents Clive with a set of clothes that once belonged to his father.

After Joining Cid

An imperial Bearer turned deserter. He returns to the ruins of Phoenix Gate, where his father and brother died thirteen years before, and learns that he is indeed the Dominant of Ifrit—the one who took his brother’s life. Anxious to atone for his crimes and filled with righteous anger after witnessing the massacre at Eastpool, he pledges himself to Cid’s cause to free all of Valisthea from its bonds—not only those between Bearer and master, but those between man and Mothercrystal.

After Joining Cid

Five Years On

An imperial Bearer turned ally of Cid the Outlaw. In truth, however, he is something much more—not only the firstborn of the Archduke of Rosaria, but also the Dominant of Ifrit, with the ability to absorb the powers of other Eikons. In the five years since the fall of Drake’s Head and the death of his mentor, he and Jill have strived to continue Cid’s legacy, the light of Ramuh forever in his heart.

At the New Hideaway

After Cid fell and his hideaway was reduced to rubble at the hands of Hugo Kupka, Clive took on both his predecessor’s name and role, becoming the second “Cid the Outlaw” and leader of the reestablished resistance. Together with the other survivors and their new recruits, he continues Cid’s mission to emancipate Bearers and rid the realm of Mothercrystals.

As Mythos

Dominant of the second Eikon of Fire, Ifrit. Unlike the other Dominants, Clive has the curious power to absorb Eikons from their hosts and wield their strength as his own. The being known as Ultima appears to crave this same power—identifying Clive as “Mythos,” a vessel for power unlimited. However, Clive refuses to surrender himself to Ultima’s will, making of this godlike being another enemy in his fight to build a world where people can live on their own terms.
