"I wager…ten years!"
"I'll match ten years!"
"Agreed."

―Maccus, Koleniko, and Clanker^[src]

When William Turner was sent to settle Captain Jack Sparrow's debt with Davy Jones, Clanker was one of the crewmen who confronted him aboard a scuttled ship, wielding a length of chain-shot. He later played a game of Liar's dice with Maccus and Koleniko prior to Turner's game with Davy Jones.^[1]

Clanker was one of the crewmen that assisted in killing the remaining crew of the Edinburgh Trader following the attack of the Kraken, which Clanker helped summon. He was one of the crewmen chosen to recover the Dead Man's Chest from Isla Cruces, and fought Elizabeth Swann, Pintel and Ragetti.^[1]

Clanker participated in the battle of maelstrom when he was swinging on the rope above the Flying Dutchman, and Jack Sparrow stole Clanker's gun and hit him with it sending him falling into the maelstrom.

[edit] Appearance and traits

Known as a blackguard,^[2] Clanker commonly wielded two lengths of chain-shot in combat,^[1] though was also known to wield a flintlock pistol.^[3] His face was covered in barnacles and mussels—his left eye being completely covered—and he had seaweed in place of hair under his algae-covered hat. Sea anemones grew from his left shoulder.^[2] He had a hole in his forehead, which was lined with a circle of shells, and his tongue, inside an inhumanly-wide mouth, appeared to be an oyster. The mussels on his face were known to respond to Clanker's mood; for instance, they would simulate laughter whenever Clanker was amused.^[4]
