Eponymous Clent is a conman and the employer of Mosca Mye, hiring her after she released him from a stockade in her hometown of Chough. The two have since had adventures in Mandelion (Fly By Night) and in Toll (Twilight Robbery/Fly Trap). Though he is much more jaded than Mosca, he is often drawn into her virtuous pursuits either by promise of coin, circumstance or his affection for her.
