Red Rising[]

Clown was one of the lowDrafts of House Mars in Darrow's class at The Institute. At dinner after the Draft, Cassius au Bellona coins his nickname because of his hair.

When House Mars divides into four tribes during the first week, Clown is one of the original members of Darrow's tribe. During the first battle between Darrow's forces and House Minerva, he tries to stop Pax from going for Darrow but is thrown aside like a doll. Before Cassius and Titus duel, Clown and Screwface are the ones to bring out the weapon choices. In the Institute under Sevro's command, and with Thistle, Screwface, Pebble, and Weed, he becomes one of the original six Howlers. Thus helping Darrow stay in power as the other students began to fear the Howlers. During the second battle between Darrow's forces and House Minerva, Clown is one of the Howlers who are hidden in the dead horses.

During Darrow's assault on Olympus, the Howlers find Proctor Juno naked in the baths and try to take her down. She manages to break Clown's arm and starts to drown him with her legs, but Sevro stuns her with a stolen scorcher. After Olympus is taken, Darrow and the Howlers return to House Mars where Clown and Pebble are ordered to enslave the besieging Jupiter, Apollo, and Pluto students.

Clown came to Luna with the rest of the Howlers on Virginia's summons and aided Darrow and House Augustus in fleeing the moon after The Gala Massacre.[2]

When Tactus au Valii-Rath betrays them and leaves with Lysander au Lune, he knocks Clown unconscious and steels his gravBoots to make his escape.[3]
