There is no direct model for Clayton in the Tarzan series of books by Edgar Rice Burroughs on which the movie is based. In the novels, Clayton is the Surname of Tarzan's family, his own true name being John Clayton. The movie's Clayton appears to combine elements of Tarzan's cousin '''William Cecil Clayton''', a rival for the love of Jane Porter in the first two novels, and '''Nikolas Rokoff''', the series' first true villain, who appears in the second book, '' The Return Of Tarzan ''. Neither, however, is much of a hunter. In the film, Clayton serves as guide for Jane and her father Professor Porter on an expedition to Africa in search for Gorillas , but his secret agenda is to use the trip as a means to hunt gorillas to sell on the black market. With the introduction of Tarzan to the expedition, Clayton makes several attempts, all unsuccessful, to get the location of the gorillas from Tarzan. With both his and his employers' goals thwarted, Clayton prepares to leave Africa with Jane and the professor. Manipulating Tarzan's feelings for Jane, he convinces the ape man they will stay if he takes them to the gorillas, which he does. Kerchak , the head gorilla, is angered by the trepass and attacks Clayton for brandishing a gun against the band. Luckily for Clayton, Tarzan manages to calm down the frenzied ape. Disowned by Kerchak, he agrees to return to England with Jane and the professor, only to be surprised and imprisoned with them when they board the ship by Clayton. Now that the villain no longer needs them he wants them all out of the way so that he and his cronies can capture the gorillas. The heroes manage to escape and free the gorillas. Clayton confronts Tarzan and takes the battle to the treetops. Becoming tangled in a mass of vines, Clayton cuts his way through, unwittingly causing his own downfall by hanging from an uncut vine wrapped around his own neck. KINGDOM HEARTS Clayton appears in the Video Game '' Kingdom Hearts '', accompanying Jane in the jungle. He seeks to hunt gorillas, under the pretense of researching them with Jane. Desperate to find the gorillas, he asks Tarzan to direct him and Jane to the gorillas, but Tarzan refuses. However, the darkness in Clayton's arrival brings the Heartless to his world, his heart is taken, and he becomes an emotionless killer. Using the Heartless, he rounds up the gorillas and captures Jane. In the final confrontation with Clayton, Clayton gets help from an invisible Heartless called Stealth Sneak. After both are defeated, the Stealth Sneak fatally crushes Clayton with its dying breath. Clayton was not conspiring with Maleficent, the real Disney villainess of the game: this makes his fight with Sora very similar to the fight against '' Mulan 's'' Shan Yu on '' Kingdom Hearts II ''.
