| “ | Once upon a time, my reputation would have preceded me... You know, I was perfectly content to enjoy my retirement in White Park with my Chao. That is, until some wild pack of do-gooders thrashed my home... Now I see that it was a blessing in disguise—a wake-up call, even. There's a whole new generation of heroes out there! Heroes I've never tricked, swindled, or beaten! And as long as I'm alive, that simply won't stand. It's high time I rebuilt my empire. It may be a humble start, but it's reliable: there's always someone out there looking for weapons. | „ |

After he's exposed for his Chao mistreatment however, he flees into the White Park Zone. Having lost his wealth after the following incident, he became the leader of Clean Sweep Inc. with the aid of Rough and Tumble, Mimic the Octopus, Surge the Tenrec and Kitsunami the Fennec.
Description[]
Appearance[]
Clutch appears as an anthropomorphic opossum with green fur, black sclera and white eyes, a dark green fur cover his hands, and a gold tooth. He also dons the nice white tuxedo jacket, golden necktie, white and gold loafers, white and yellow hat, and grayish coat. He appears to met a retirement age and is older than Dr. Eggman, according to Evan Stanley.
Personality[]
Clutch is a highly collected and composed individual. Never showing any incline of shock or surprise, he is extreme adapt at keeping his emotions in check. He is also quite sly in his mannerisms and is not truly afraid of interacting with anyone. However, his calmness also makes him very intimidating; while he does not express his anger emotionally, he makes it evidently clear with firm statements and piercing glares.
Clutch is highly intelligent and perceptive, having accurately seem through Rouge's attempts to disguise her identify and intentions, correctly guessed who Cheese's real trainer was after seeing her for the first time, and identified a seemingly random codeword after hearing it just once.
Clutch loved participating in Chao Races and took great pride in his status as a champion. However, he admitted himself that he only treats his Chao well when they bring him victories. He does not treat Chao too kindly either; while he treats Chao that win for him well, he would remorselessly lock those that let him down up in cages with multiple padlocks, even if they failed just once. For this reason, his Chao tried to do their best so that they would not be punished.
Clutch is also cunning and greedy and enjoys hoarding his treasures and trading weapons with his clients. He claims to have fooled many of the heroes of the previous generation. After years of activity though, Clutch was satisfied with his retirement at the White Park Grand Chateau. However, he is also not one to stand by while heroes run about, especially those whom he has never been victorious over; after he was defeated by Amy, Rouge and Cream, he realized that a whole new generation of heroes had emerged into the world, many of whom he had not yet managed to swindle or defeat with his cunning. Seeing this as a wake-up call, he insists that this state of affairs cannot stand. As such, he has since decided to go back to the basics of his criminal life and rebuild his empire.
Compared to Eggman, who constantly uses brute force against his enemies, Clutch is a lot more subtle and convoluted in his methods. This seen in his plot to undermine the Restoration, in where Clutch installed spies in the ranks of the Restoration rather than a direct attack on Restoration HQ. Clutch is aware of when brute force is the best course of action however, as evident by hiring powerful minions such as Rough and Tumble, as well as employing the various Badniks he has collected. Additionally, Clutch primarily relies on cheap shots, surprise attacks, and other dirty tricks when in combat himself, preferring to not directly confront his opponent to avoid capture or defeat.
