I've Been Thinking About GTA IV Character Clarence Little.

Now, I'm sure some of you have no idea who Clarence Little is as you've forgotten he ever existed. He's a drug dealer and pimp who is the target of Francis McReary mission Holland Nights, the one at the flat block, because he's going to rat on Francis for leniency. Clarence can, dependin' on circumstance, be spared in said mission.

Clarence does disappear if spared in that mission. Francis does think he's dead, his lieutenant takes over his heroin and crack operation (and is subsequently also killed by Niko for Francis) and Francis doesn't find out Niko spared Clarence (in the final version of the game, anyway, there's a cut phone call, but that's cut so it don't matter).

Later on, if he was spared Clarence appears as a Random Encounter. The encounter is simple, Clarence reminds Niko who he is, pulls a pistol and then tries to get revenge on Niko for 'making' him beg for his life. Clarence is a single man with a handgun, Niko is Niko Bellic. It doesn't end well for Clarence, naturally.

So, why am I thinkin' about this random bloke from GTA IV? Well, it shows a theme in the game. See, every other character y'can spare who becomes a random encounter in IV don't attack Niko. They appreciate the fact Niko showed mercy, gave them a chance to keep on living. Clarence shows that not everyone takes such chances. He wasted his chance and faced the consequence of it.

I think the lesson of the Spared characters who come back as random encounters is this: You can't foresee what people're gonna do with your kindness, most will appreciate it, but not everyone will.

I guess you could also tie in the fact that Clarence wanted revenge on Niko to the larger theme of revenge that drives the story. Clarence didn't seek out Niko, nor did Niko seek out Clarence, but seeing him again Clarence decided to take a shot at pointless revenge, costing him his life.

Still, I consider sparing Clarence a good choice, even if he renders it pointless, he at least used those weeks between mission and encounter. I doubt he spent that time well, but Niko did what he could.

Plus, it's kinda funny to take him out when he's so smug and sure of himself armed with only a pistol alone against Niko Bellic.
