LEGO.com Description
Clay is all about being a knight. He grew up as an orphan and spent every day striving to become one. Now that his dream has come true, he spends every day training his moves, learning new skills or fighting evil. And when he finally sleeps, he dreams of all the heroic deeds he will perform tomorrow.
Traits
Clay, like all the other Nexo Knights, has a newly-molded helmet and shoulder armor that depicts his trademark family crest on his torso. His suit's torso and legs are a gray colour, while his arms are silver and his hips and hands a dark blue colour. He is complete with orange highlights.
Without his helmet, he has spiky, brown hair. He is usually seen with a smirking expression.
Background
Orphaned at a young age, Clay was placed under the care of Merlok the Magician.
He aspired to be a knight ever since he was a little kid. As a child and freshman of the Knights Academy, he was watching the knight games with Merlok when a thief stole a lady's purse on the spectator's stands and runs away through the arena. Clay immediately sprung into action and stop the thief by taking a lance and a mecha steed to fling the thief away and return the purse to the lady.

Good Knight Clay Moorington
Clay decides to have a walk around the forest to have fresh air. However, 2 Lava monsters followed him and he seems that he does not notice them and he swore off fighting at that time. But this is not the case as he notices the monsters and fought them anyway. Using a new Nexo Power given by Merlock 2.0, he defeated the monsters easily by using a new Nexo Power to allow the top part of the vehicle become a flying jet. Upon returning to the Fortrex, he denied that he did not fight during the walk, much to the annoyance of Macy and Aaron who have seen through his lies.
