-<p>As any man who makes his living telling stories, it's hard to say what's true or not. What Rev Clayton has said about his past is that he was born in 1803 "back East" to a preacher there, against whom he rebelled in his youth (as they do) and struck out on his own, where he was given to "rioutous living" before he eventually returned (like the eponymous "Prodigal Son"). He's been to the North and the South, East and West. He's lived in big cities, and slept under the stars. He's been the victim, and the Samaritan. He was married in his younger years, until "the Lord saw fit to take her from him"—he's been stingy on the details, but it's assumed she died of some fever. He's even given account of "casting out a devil or two." He's never directly admitted to participating in the War, but there have been inferences that he's seen combat, and it's rumored he may have been an Army chaplain.</p>

 <p>He spent a decade, at least, as an itinerant preacher, wandering the western frontier, ministering from camp to camp, until he finally decided he was too old for the lifestyle, and "following the Lord's direction," settled down in [[:Category:Babylon|Babylon]]. There, in late 1873, he built the New Covenant Church, and became the town's only Christian pastor. When the McCastles were making trouble in the region, he tried to play the peacemaker—by all accounts, ''winning'' a "Bible duel" with [[Shane McCastle|Shane]]—and proved his dedication to his principles by taking a nasty beating without so much as a flinch of hostility (though perhaps a little "defiance"). He spent a fair amount of time in [[James Bronson|Doc's]] care afterward as a result.</p>
 <!--<p>It was no surprise when the Reprisal came that he did not take up arms, but he did bravely intervene where he could, and actively shepherded others to safety. His leadership was vital during the aftermath. Since [[Bill Hatcher|Hatcher]] and his deputies arrived, his perseverance has been pushed to its limits, and he finds his preaching growing ever more "fiery" and subtly anti-corporation—something which has not gone unnoticed by the new law in town—though he remains outwardly subservient.</p>-->
