== Appearance and Personality ==
Clamps is an unpleasant and violent man.{{book ref|mb4|11}} He is brutal, willing to kill any who witness his crimes, including a whole group of Elendel beggars. Clamps would even let his men harm innocent bystanders simply because they had the opportunity to do so.{{book ref|mb4|5}} He claims to be dedicated to the Vanisher's cause, but in actuality he joined the group for the thrill of the robberies, rather than because he shares Miles' ideology.{{book ref|mb4|15}} This, along with his occasional insubordinate behavior and tone, causes some friction between him and Miles.{{book ref|mb4|11}}
Clamps is a member of the [[Church of the Survivor]].{{book ref|mb4|17}} A religious fanatic, Clamps' neck is scarred in a similar pattern to the scars Kelsier obtained during his time in the [[Pits of Hathsin]].

Much is unknown about Clamps' early life, prior to his involvement with the Vanishers. At some point, as a sign of his devotion to the Survivor, Clamps was intentionally scarred along his arms.{{book ref|mb4|17}}
As a member of the Vanishers, Clamps served as third in command of the gang, behind Miles and [[Tarson]].{{book ref|mb4|11}} Clamps' primary duty among the Vanishers was handling recruitment of new members, which he trained and managed in a foundry in [[Longard]].{{book ref|mb4|8}} Clamps recruited all of Miles' men
