History
Daniel "Danny" Clayton was born on the inner colony world of Tribute to James Cutter and his mistress. Clayton has no memories of ever meeting his father, though his mother claimed he once did. Cutter and his command, the Template:UNSCship, disappeared following the Battle of Arcadia in February 2531. Then-Captain Terrence Hood (Cutter's former executive officer) blamed himself for allowing the ship to go missing, as he ignored orders to avoid contact with the Covenant; the ensuing engagement prevented Spirit of Fire's log buoy from being recovered, thus denying the UNSC any indication of the ship's whereabouts.
Out of guilt, Hood provided support for both Cutter's legitimate family (his apparent widow Mary and their daughter) and his secret one, sending Clayton's mother money for years. Clayton eventually joined the UNSC and rose to the rank of captain; by 2558 he had come to serve under Rear Admiral Horatio Temkin, the UNSC's ambassador to Sanghelios. Clayton eventually learned that Lord Hood had been acting as a benefactor throughout his entire career in an attempt to make up for the loss of Cutter and Spirit of Fire. Feeling he had never accomplished anything for himself, Clayton joined Admiral Mattius Drake's New Colonial Alliance.[1]
