Clayman's Story
An art thief who’s actually not in it for the money, Clayman takes better care of paintings than she would a newborn baby.  Art is the be-all and end-all of everything to her.  

By the way, GB and crew are probably some of the only people who know Clayman is a “she”.  She’s accomplished enough at burglary and disguise that officially no one has ever seen her.  Considerable talent at sculpture is the base of that disguise skill-- she can sculpt masks real enough, and use them well enough that she even fooled Ban into thinking someone else had a jagan and it’d been used on him.

The end result is a place high on the police’s list of wanted burglars. Funny thing is, though, she only ever steals forgeries.  Good forgeries, but, according to most of the art world, forgeries nonetheless.  Clayman herself steadfastly believes each one to be genuine, however.  I don’t think she ever sells them, either.  Art-freak that she is, every painting she steals is, she feels, neglected or mistreated in some way.  So she “rescues” them and puts them on display in a well-lit place where everyone can enjoy them.

It started out simply as a wish to save paintings from one Mr. Hachisu, a department store owner with intentions of constructing an “accident” so that he could get the insurance money on the art.  After that particular agenda got wrapped up (with the help of GB) whether or not she continued in the art-thievery trade is unknown.

SPOILERS (black on black, so just highlight to read)

Very, very little about Clayman’s personal life is known, but it is certain that she studied for some time at an art academy in Paris, where she met and befriended one up-and-coming art genius named Kaito.

It is also known that her mother was a famous “medium”, in the whole channels-spirits sort of way. It’s implied that the forgeries Clayman stole from Hachisu’s department store were in a large part her mother’s works, theoretically done while channeling the spirits of famous artists. Thence Clayman’s steadfast belief that each is a genuine, if posthumous, work.
