Clancy with the help of two others, created a safe haven called [[East River]], a place where many [[IAAN]] afflicted kids seek safe refuge. It is run by Clancy, who goes by the alias "Slip Kid". He encourages them to wear black to symbolize the fact they don't separate themselves by color like the government work camps did.

When Ruby, [[Suzume|Zu]], [[Liam Stewart|Liam]] and [[Charles Meriwether|Chubs]] arrive in East River, he is surprised to see Ruby.

Clancy James Beaumont Gray, also known as the "Slip Kid", is the son of President Gray. He's an orange man who is noted to be the first prisoner to be admitted into the rehabilitation camps system.

Biography (Books)[]

Early Life[]

Clancy as a child would’ve been known as a “kid hiding behind his mother’s skirts.”

He was bullied and targeted by other kids in his school because of who his parents were. He would get back at them by using his abilities on them. His father, President Gray, was extremely abusive to Clancy early on in his life and his mother abandoned him early on too. He was caught using his powers against his dad on camera which resulted in the beginning of the camps and the first expirements on the kids (where he met Nico).

Clancy was the first child to be released from Thurmond, as proof to the United States that the rehabilitation camps worked. After he was repeatedly tortured.

When his father found out that Clancy still had access to his powers, he sent a Secret Service agent to assassinate Clancy. The assassin was unsuccessful.

Clancy eventually met Olivia and Hayes. The three of them set up East River at an abandoned camping ground with Clancy being the leader. Kids with IAAN abilities are sheltered and are apparently helped to contact their families.

Behind the scenes, as Clancy went in and out of the facilities, he had been using his powers to manipulate the scientists and other workers. Later he revealed he’d also been puppeting his father in order to help push his plans of the IAAN affected kids taking over. Which was the reason his mother had ran away in hopes of making the cure and escaping his influence. He also had an underground operation, known as “Project Jamboree,” where he separated all Reds from the facilities and placed them in another one off the books where he brainwashed and trained them to be soldiers.

Clancy is described as being incredibly handsome and intellegent with a narcissistic and manipulative personality.

The Darkest Minds[]

Clancy is first mentioned by Ruby Elizabeth Daly while she is still in Thurmond. Portraits of him are hung around the work camp as a reminder that they too could one day be "healed" and "rehabilitated" as Clancy purportedly was.

Later, while Ruby is looking through a newspaper, she comments that she has never seen an updated picture of Clancy. They always recycled the childhood portrait whenever the media reports on his "charitable" activities. She also comments that there is a rumor that Clancy too, is an Orange. Meaning he possibly only one of oranges three left alive, the other two being Ruby Elizabeth Daly and Martin Dunn.

Clancy with the help of two others, created a safe haven called East River, a place where many psi seek safe refuge. It is run by Clancy, who goes by the alias "Slip Kid". He encourages them to wear black to symbolize the fact they don't separate themselves by color like the government work camps did.

When Ruby, Suzume (Zu) Kimura, Liam and Chubs arrive in East River, he is surprised to see Ruby. He recites her entire history in front of her friends, before apologizing and saying he supposedly discovered and read her files while spying on different networks. He then recognizes Liam and offers them all safe haven at East River for as long as they need. As Ruby leaves his office, he sends her a mental image of himself kneeling with a rose and saying "Forgive me?" inside her mind.

Clancy offers to teach Ruby how to better control her powers. During their lessons they appear to develop somewhat of a friendship, although it is implied that Clancy has romantic feelings towards Ruby. During one session together, Clancy uses his powers to make Ruby kiss him. This is his way of attempting to force her to let her guard down, so he will gain information about how she uses her powers to make people lose memories, which is what he wanted all along. Clancy eventually uses his powers to paralyse Ruby, and her memories of the incident are hazy, (and to clarify, the scene didn’t involve rape. The author implied herself Ruby wasn’t raped). This is ultimately what causes Ruby and her friends to attempt to leave East River.

As Ruby, Liam, and Chubs attempt to leave, however, Clancy catches them, forcing Hayes to brutally attack Liam. Soon after, Clancy leaks the location of East River, hoping that his father will send an army of Reds under Project Jamboree, so that he can control them himself. Just before the forces arrive, Clancy tricks Ruby into coming to his aid, only to paralyze her as the army arrives. Ruby asks Clancy if the situation had been reversed, would he have run to her aid, to which he replies that he would have walked slowly.

Instead of sending the Reds, however, President Gray sends PSFs, which sends Clancy into a fit of rage. Just before he can harm Ruby, however, Chubs sends him flying back and leaves with Ruby. During the fighting, Clancy escapes, but he leaves his laptop behind with a small amount of charge, along with a note telling Ruby that he lied before, and that he would have run to help her had the situation been reversed.

Never Fade[]

Clancy seems to be a looming presence to Ruby. When she catches herself using her powers in ways she doesn’t like, her mind compares herself to Clancy. As Ruby is traveling with her friends, she gets a message from Cate, but her and Vida Bautista recognise that the texts don’t add up to how Cate talks.

When they meet up at the location where Cate told them to go knowing it’s not her, Ruby realizes it’s Clancy. Things go badly and Clancy convinces them that something is going on wherever actually Cate is. In actuality, he’s tricking them to just take him there so he can steal his mother’s research of the cure that he despises. Clancy ends up being knocked out and locked in a closet. When the palace is bombed he’s able to escape, only to be taken prisoner by Ruby and her friends.

In The Afterlight[]

Clancy is forced along as a prisoner and later locked in a cell. He constantly tries to convince Ruby as to why the cure is bad. Letting her see how he was constantly tortured as a child and then belittled for what they were doing to him. Ruby took advantage of that moment to seep further into his head for his mother whom he apparently wrecked the mind of. It’s revealed that while Ruby slept Clancy controlled her and made her contact his dads enforcement's to invade on them. When Clancy tried to escape Nico, Ruby and his mother confronted him. His mother ends up being the one to shoot him.

Clancy had the ‘operation‘ forced onto him. It’s clear in the moments after where he had to stand next to his father. That he saw the ability as the only power he had against his father and anyone that tried to harm him again. Ruby takes pity on Clancy struggling with his new life, with the past that he can’t let go and erases his memory with a new happy one.

When Zu, Priyanka Acharya, and Roman Volkov visit him after Zu has been accused of bombing Joseph Moore plane and the bombing of a plane, he tells Roman and Zu that Ruby would visit him every few months.
