Clarence "Clay" Morrow

Clarence "Clay" Morrow is one of the main characters from the Sons of Anarchy series.

The President of SAMCRO and one of the 9 founding members, Clay is Jax Teller's stepfather and Gemma Teller's husband. Suffering from arthritis in his declining age, Clay frequently disagrees with his stepson about the direction the club is going.

In the XP4 fics, Clay made his debut in XP4 Heroes Coalition - Mission Chronicles.

Appearance
Clay is a tough, looking old man with a short, flat-topped white hair and an all around facial hair, his blue eyes are hidden behind his sunglasses. He wears a black leather vest over a gray t-shirt, gray pants and white shoes.

Personality
Clay might be a scheming murderer, but Clay does have a sense of honor, morality and even feels genuine guilt for the terrible things he's done. Personality-wise, he's an easy blend of casual charm and subdued menace. However, he slowly tends to graduate from this to faux affably evil.

Clay talks a lot about sexual things. Most prominent in season 6 where he stood up in front of everyone, talking about needing pussy.

Like everything with Clay, his standards are ass-backwards. He's all about selling guns, but considers a legitimate porn business to be 'dirty'. It's played a little more straight when he balks at the idea of allying with white supremacists and desires to keep rapists out of his town.

Abilities
Clay is a very dangerous man and is very skilled in using guns.
