Overview
Manuel Clayton, or "Priest", is a orkish fixer with connections to Seattle's Neo-Anarchist movements. He grew up as a street urchin in the Barrens, joining up with the Crimson Crush as soon as he was able. With a fast bike, solid rep, and severe Kamikaze addiction, Clayton had all the marks of an up-and-coming ganger.
