 Upon being encountered by the Guardians as an ancient "confidential intelligence", Clovis remains as arrogant and condescending as he was in life. He regarded the Guardians as intruders who solely aimed to steal his research but was surprised to learn that centuries had passed since his original death, from the Collapse to the appearance of the Fallen. Regardless of becoming an uneasy ally to the Guardians, Clovis continued to be patronizing and smug, despite them actually saving and aiding him. Upon reuniting with his granddaughters, [[Ana Bray]] and [[Exo Stranger]] (Elisabeth Bray), Clovis revealed that he remained obsessed in ensuring the legacy of the Bray name, even if said measures endanger humanity, claiming that the powers of the Darkness was meant for his family, not for the good of humanity. Clovis even remained unapologetic on how his research on the Vex brought the machines into the Solar System. Though he defended himself on that the Vex appearance wasn't his intent and admitted he may have "facilitated" their appearance, he claimed it was all for his research.
+In ''Season of the Seraph'', the full extent of Clovis's delusions and madness would be laid bare. Under the guise of aiding Ana and the Guardians in restoring Rasputin, he intended to use them to grant himself the opportunity to become a machine god himself and assume control over humanity. He was arrogant enough to believe that he alone was worthy of being called humanity's savior, originally intending to have Rasputin to actually replace the Traveler, creating a savior of his own design. However, he couldn't fathom Ana teaching the things Clovis found no actual value in, the things that convinced the Warmind in the beauty of humanity: philosophy, history, art and music. For Clovis, everything was to ensure his own legacy and regain the control he refused to relinquished. However, after his plans were exposed by Rasputin and casted out by his own progeny, Clovis would be left furious and ranting, unable to accept his granddaughter's independence or Rasputin's statement that his progeny have surpassed him.
+Even before he was exposed, Clovis had proven to be rather narrow-minded and smug towards the other coalition members, leading them to often insult and dismiss him in return. Mara Sov especially had a sense of loathing for him, calling Clovis a vile man and a representation of the brashness conducted during the Golden Age. Clovis was also rather dismissive of the more arcane nature of humanities enemies, specifically the Hive, often trying to find a scientific explanation of their properties and powers, though he expressed interest in the nature of the Ascendant Realm. Though he would remained rather smug, Clovis would slowly begin to be impressed with the Guardian's capabilities in battle, even attempting to convince them of his intentions and even offer them a place in his "personal guard" once he had assumed control over the Network. The Guardians however, did not return the sentiment, instead finding his obsessions with his property and patronizing nature, aggravating.
