Clement Forktail
Clement Forktail is the sire of the player's character if the personal story option "Sorcerous Shaman" was chosen. He appears in the storyline Searching for the Truth.
Biography[edit]
Clement Forktail was a soldier of the High Legions who, after shortly becoming legionnaire of his warband, met a Flame Legion recruiter alongside his warband after they began to contact the Flame Legion. He and his warband were manipulated by the recruiter for several weeks and his warband eventually defected to the Flame Legion, with Clement defecting due to feeling loyal to them. After defecting, he committed murder against officers of the Black Citadel and began training Legionnaire Mergath Flarekin as his second.[1][2]
While training Mergath, he developed several new rituals in his workshop, including one that could kill the high-ranking representatives of the Legions within the Black Citadel. Realizing his mistake in choosing Mergath as his second, he turned himself in to the Black Citadel and attempted to make contact with his cub. Sending a mail to his cub, he convinced them to meet him north of Ascalon City Ruins, where Clavus the Breathstealer, an acquaintance of Clement, was sent to assassinate him.
He was then escorted to the Black Citadel's stockade where he was captured by his former Flame Legion comrades and brought to Silex Castrum, where they attempted to make him perform the ritual. Rescued by his cub and Seneca the Relentless, Clement aided the cub regardless of whether they chose Seneca's or his plan and was left in the Citadel's stockade.

Notes[edit]
- In order to get Clement for your home instance, you must side with him during A Fork in the Road. He will be standing on the balcony overlooking the entrance to the main building; the quickest way to find him is to take the ramp immediately to your left as you walk in, then follow that up to the first accessible room on the 2nd floor. Enter that room, hang a left, and exit onto the balcony.
- If you side with Seneca during A Fork in the Road, he will not show up in the stockade anymore, even after finishing Tribunes in Effigy.

- Clement Forktail: Yes. When they joined the Flame Legion, I thought I had to join too. I was mistaken. They had betrayed our legion and me. I learned then that loyalty to the legion outranks loyalty to my warband.
