Clay Carmine is one of the 4 Carmine brothers in the Gears of War series. Clay is older than all other Carmines. Clay is only mentioned in the note attached to Benjamin's COG Tags in which he confirms that Clay is older.

Marcus Fenix collected Benjamin's COG tag, number 838186-22AO3-SF, and the note written to his brother Clay:

I hope you're doing well out there, Clay. Not sure where you are but I trust that the COG will get this letter to you safely. I know that you'll be excited for me, but it'd be great to hear from you before I ship out.

I just wish Anthony was still here bro. I really miss him. I take comfort knowing he died a hero, but still... I miss him, as I'm sure you do too. Well, you know I'm not that good at letters, so I'll keep this short.. Hope you're doing well, big brother, and know that I'll be doing my very best to serve our country and make you and our family proud.

Your little brother [aka the Squirt], Ben.

[edit] Background

Very little is known about Clay other than he's the oldest Carmine brother and serves in the Coalition of Ordered Governments as a Gear. Its also possible that he used to pick on Benjamin Carmine and Anthony Carmine when they were kids hence the fact that Ben mentions "A.K.A squirt" but in an older brotherly way. Since a member of the Carmine family has been in both Gears of War and Gears of War 2, it is very likely that Clay will be in Gears of War 3, many think he will survive because he is the oldest and possibly the best Carmine gear, and may have a more mature personality and a deeper voice. He is currently speculated to be in his early 30's, this is still unconfirmed however. There is also a rumor that he has a new COG helmet that is seen in Gears of War 2.
