| - Clayton is a "Prince" of House Greystoke of New Alderaan. He was born on Alderaan and raised there for about three years, then he went traveling with his mother to distant exotic worlds in true Greystoke ways. News of Alderaan being destroyed didn't reach them till half a year after it happened. Even then they didn't know the magnitude of the destruction. While they feared for the lives of friends and family, they believed the planet had simply been attacked and occupied by the Empire. The shock of seeing their planet turned into an asteroid field had caused Clayton's mother to go into a catatonic state. While his father was simply speechless at first, he would simply do the best he could to take care of his disabled wife and young son for a year, then leaving them in the care of other surviving family members he joined the Alliance. Clayton's family moved around a lot, gathering what resources and favors they collectively accumulated over the years of travel. They actually came out of the destruction of their home world rather well compared to other Alderaan survivors. When the time came they took the alliance's offer to resettle on New Alderaan, where the family's collective knowledge of exploration and wilderness survival came in handy. Clayton was practically an orphan, his mother never did recover and eventually died. His father never commed home, or if he did Clayton was never around. He didn't spend his days in self pity or despair like many of the other children. He went out and had fun, explored, even worked to help improve not only his situation, but for all new Aleraanians. Things he was taught at an early age, the only legacy his parents left him.
