==Biography==
He participated in the skirmish on the [[The Flood|Flood]]-infected [[prison ship]] ''[[Mona Lisa]]'' in the [[Soell|Soell system]]. Clarence was under orders to not permit anybody but the [[UNSC Marine Corps|marines]] to escape the ship. He followed those orders when he executed a prisoner named [[Patrick Rimmer|Rimmer]], who had made friends with [[Henry (Sangheili)|an Elite]]. [[Hospital Corpsman|Corpsman]] [[Ngoc Benti|Benti]] forced Clarence into a mob of Flood, becoming assimilated into the Flood. Clarence died when a [[Shiva-class nuclear missile|Shiva Warhead]] destroyed the ship.<ref>'''Halo: Evolutions - Essential Tales of the Halo Universe''', "The Mona Lisa", ''pages 227-228''</ref><ref>'''Halo: Evolutions - Essential Tales of the Halo Universe''', "The Mona Lisa", ''pages 338-339''</ref>
Clarence was part of Sergeant Lopez's squad when they were sent on a reconnaissance mission on the [[prison ship]] ''[[Mona Lisa]]'' in the [[Soell|Soell system]].<ref name="tml243">'''Halo: Evolutions - Essential Tales of the Halo Universe''', "The Mona Lisa", ''page 243''</ref>  Unlike the rest of the [[UNSC Marine Corps|Marines]], Clarence was fully aware of the mission's true purpose, and was under orders to not permit anybody but the Marines to escape the ship.<ref name="orders">'''Halo: Evolutions - Essential Tales of the Halo Universe''', "The Mona Lisa", ''pages 338-340''</ref>
 
When the Marines split up in order to enact the [[United Nations Space Command Emergency Priority Order 098831A-1|Cole Protocol]], Clarence was assigned to [[Hospital Corpsman|Corpsman]] [[Ngoc Benti|Benti]]'s group, alongside [[Gersten]], [[Orlav]] and [[Tsardikos]]. As they were attacked by the Flood in the ship's bilges, Orlav became infected and was promptly shot by Clarence, but not before managing to bite Gersten.<ref>'''Halo: Evolutions - Essential Tales of the Halo Universe''', ''"The Mona Lisa"'', ''page 285''</ref> After Gersten began to show signs of infection, Clarence would swiftly execute him without hesitation as well.<ref>'''Halo: Evolutions - Essential Tales of the Halo Universe''', "The Mona Lisa", ''page 291-292''</ref>
 
His status as an ONI operative was revealed to the other Marines moments before the ship's destruction. As the Marines regrouped at the last remaining escape pods, Clarence executed a prisoner named [[Patrick Rimmer|Rimmer]], who had made friends with [[Henry|an Elite]]. As Lopez and MacCraw trained their rifles on Clarence, Corpsman Benti forced Clarence into a mob of Flood, becoming assimilated into the Flood. Clarence died when a [[Shiva-class nuclear missile|Shiva warhead]] destroyed the ship.<ref name="orders"/>
