Clamps is identified as the recruiter for the Vanishers, and later appears among the scarred men watching over the gang. The text offers little about his personal history or fate, leaving him a shadowy presence on the gang’s perimeter.
Description
Clamps is a man marked by a scar on his neck, a distinctive detail that draws the eye. At one point he scratches at it, giving him a restless, guarded air. His build, coloring, hair, eyes, facial features, and clothing are not specified.
