Early Life[]
He wandered west from Tennessee, where he's wanted for rape and murder. He ran a whorehouse in Nebraska and stole as much money from the girls as he did his clients. He killed a Lincoln County Sheriff in a gunfight and headed south to Texas where he used his ill-gotten gains to build a saloon. He offers all the usual vices and pays local thugs to rob travelers heading out of town. He gets the miners coming and going and if one of them occasionally ends up dead, well that's just the price of doing business.

Clyde is seen only in Episodes I-III. In Episode I he instigates the town to chase Billy after catching Suzy and Billy together.

Clyde then stumbles out of the Saloon charred, and gets in a duel with Ray where he is gunned down.
