Clay Irons

Clay Irons
Growing up, Clay Irons was a rascal. He felt overlooked living in the shadow of his physically monolithic and mentally colossal brother John Henry Irons and began acting out to get attention. This led him to run with the wrong sorts of kids and with all the drinking and inappropriate behavior, he impregnated a local girl named Blondel at a young age. Clay's grandfather and Blondel's mother insisted they get married. It was one of those "We don't do children out wedlock here boy. Now you going to step up and take responsibility for what you done, and make a proper family with that young woman." -kind of things. Clay and Blondel were married and are still married, though whether you consider it a happy marriage depends on the day and who you ask.

He's kind of a loser. He used to get drunk a lot. He still womanizes (or tries to). He invests in get-rich-quick schemes which John has to bail him out of. Now, he’s trying to put his drinking behind him. Clay's drinking cost his daughter dearly and John Henry was the one who gave back what Clay's drinking had taken from Natasha.
