Clarence "Clay" Morrow is a fictional character in the FX television series Sons of Anarchy, portrayed by Ron Perlman. One of the "First 9" members of the titular outlaw motorcycle club, he spends the first four seasons as a primary protagonist, serving as president of the Sons of Anarchy Motorcycle Club Redwood Original (SAMCRO), charter based in the fictional town of Charming, California. After a series of antagonistic actions, Clay is eventually stripped of his presidency, excommunicated from the club, and later killed by his stepson, Jax Teller. His character is based on King Claudius; the King of Denmark and Prince Hamlet's uncle and step-father from William Shakespeare's play Hamlet.
