==Story==
==Story==
===Before ''Kingdom Hearts''===
Clayton was a big game hunter one time, but he retired from the profession. [[Jane Porter]] hired him to be her guide and guard while on expedition to the [[Deep Jungle]] to study gorillas later on. Clayton agreed, hoping to see such magnificent creatures in person. To their shock, they encountered [[Tarzan]], a human who was raised by gorillas since he was an infant. They taught him the basics of their language and attempted many times to persuade him to take them to see the nests. However, Tarzan would always decline, fearing for the safety of the gorillas. Clayton, due to his increasing disappointment, decided that if he was getting the chance, he would hunt down a few gorillas and sell them to zoos.

Clayton finds [[Donald Duck|Donald]] and [[Goofy]] in a bamboo thicket after they land in Deep Jungle. Suspicion over Clayton's activity arises when Clayton quips that Donald and Goofy are "not much use for hunting gorillas", despite Jane bringing them there for research. He cajoles [[Tarzan]] into disclosing the location of their nesting grounds on the pretext of assisting Sora find his friends, but soon after Tarzan finally agrees, Clayton is caught at the Treehouse attempting to shoot the young gorilla [[Terk]]. Terk is rescued by Donald. And yet, Clayton attempts to deny his actions, he is strictly forbidden from seeing the gorillas by an outraged Jane.

Terk is saved by Donald, and although Clayton attempts to deny his actions, he is forbidden from approaching the gorillas by the furious Jane. His anger and determination to hunt the gorillas lure the Heartless to him, and the darkness in his heart takes control of him, leading him to kidnap Jane and Terk and imprison them in the Climbing Trees.

His inner darkness allows him to command the loyalty of a small army of monkey-like [[Powerwild]]s and [[Bouncywild]]s, who help him round up the gorillas. As Sora and Tarzan arrive on the scene, Tarzan realizes that Clayton is no longer himself and they mop up his army before turning against him. At this moment, Clayton calls on his most powerful "servant"—the [[Stealth Sneak]], a chameleon-like Heartless capable of turning invisible. Sitting atop its back, he fights the party alongside the giant Heartless but eventually they are defeated. As Clayton angrily begins sighting down for another shot, the dizzy and dying Stealth Sneak comes up behind him and eventually collapses on top of the hapless hunter, killing him. After the Heartless' body disappears, Clayton's has also vanished.
His fury and determination to hunt the gorillas lure the Heartless to him, and he shot at them in fear. However, the darkness in his heart takes control of him and Clayton decided to make use of these "animals" to carry out his plans. Commanding a small army of monkey-like [[Powerwild]]s and [[Bouncywild]]s, Clayton sends them to round up the gorillas and imprison Jane and Terk in the Climbing Trees. While Sora and Tarzan rescue Jane and Terk, Clayton manages to corner the gorillas at the cliff; unknown to him, the gorillas' home was right on the other side. As Sora and Tarzan show up on the scene, Tarzan realizes that Clayton is no longer himself and they mop up his army before they turn against him. At this moment, Clayton calls on his most forceful "servant"—the [[Stealth Sneak]], a chameleon-like Heartless capable of turning invisible. Sitting atop its back, he fights the party alongside the enormous Heartless but eventually they’re defeated. As Clayton infuriatingly begins sighting down for another shot, the dizzy and dying Stealth Sneak comes up behind him and eventually collapses on top of the hapless hunter, crucifying him. After the Heartless' body disappears, Clayton's has also vanished.


Afterwards, [[Maleficent]] and her council of Disney villains comment on how the Heartless were drawn to Deep Jungle by Clayton and ridicule his failure to achieve his goals with the Heartless who joined him. [[Jafar]] takes this a step further by ridiculing that a weak-hearted fool like Clayton stood no chance against the Heartless.

==Design==
==Appearance==
Clayton appears very tall, standing even larger than Tarzan and comparatively taller than [[Kerchak]]. He has thinning hair as well as a pencil thin mustache, which is mixed with his dignified English hunter attire; this shows a contrast between his dark and twisted personality and his appearance as an English gentleman.

==Personality==
==Personality==
Clayton has a very two-faced and manipulative demeanor. Oftentimes, he is seen being affable and law-abiding in front of Jane, but when he is alone, he mutters wicked plots to slaughter the gorillas. He is seen to be very persistent and will stop at nothing to get what he wants, which, in this particular case, is the gorillas. He seems to want to kill them simply for the thrill of the chase. He also appears weak-minded, as while they seemed attentive the Heartless were evidently controlling him instead.

==Origin==
==Origin==
In the original Disney movie ''Tarzan'', Clayton is a hunter sent to escort Jane and her father to study the gorillas. Unlike in ''Kingdom Hearts'', where Clayton desired the gorillas as hunting trophies, Clayton is more interested in capturing them and selling them to the London zoo for a huge profit. After tricking Tarzan into showing him where the gorillas are, he has a band of criminals come to the jungle to take the gorillas, but Tarzan ignites a mutiny and thwarts his plans. In the ensuing battle, Clayton kills Kerchak, but after a long battle with Tarzan, he falls to his death from a tree and is hanged when a vine that was tightened around him violently cracks his neck.
