"Clip" Cliff is an NPC in Arknights. He first appears as a background character in Jessica's Operator Record[1], and is a major supporting character in Come Catastrophes or Wakes of Vultures.

Background[]

"Clip" Cliff, real name Rupert, is the founder and CEO of Blacksteel Worldwide. A retired veteran from Columbia's war for indepenence, his philosophy regards using war as a business to help end all wars, and ensuring that his advanced replica firearms are available for all of the company's professional consultants.

Alongside his former partner Woodrow, he traveled from Laterano to join the Columbian Revolutionary Army as mercenaries to help turn the tides of war in the colony. However, during a rescue operation in the terran year 1019, Cliff decided to abandon the plan and leave Woodrow behind, which caused him and other ten soldiers to be captured by the Victorian forces and put into Camp Collus, a concentration camp for prisoners of war known for its inhumane treatment. By the time the war ended, only Woodrow managed to escape, and after refusing Clip's advise to return to Laterano, the two would part ways.

Reshaped by the never-ending nature of various conflicts across the years, and knowing that they can only be controlled rather than ended, Clip would found Blacksteel Worldwide alongside various other retired veterans from Columbia's independence, initially working as a state-owned organization and earning their reputation.[2]
