Breck Clawmark
Breck Clawmark, known as "The Eraser," is a badger and a twenty-three-year veteran of the City Records vault in We Can Fix Pawbert. Working as a notary, he used his position to fabricate psychiatric evaluations, false histories, and forged identities for the Lynxley Network. His arrest in S01E03 is significant both for disrupting the network's document operations and for his interrogation, in which he reveals the existence of "The Architect"---Vesper Coade.
"There's someone else. Above me in the chain... We called him 'The Architect.'" --- Breck Clawmark (S01E03)
Background
Clawmark spent twenty-three years in the City Records vault, using his position as a notary to serve the Lynxley network. His specialty was fabrication: creating false psychiatric evaluations, manufacturing histories for network operatives, and forging identities that could withstand scrutiny. His access to official records and his ability to insert forged documents into the system made him an invaluable asset for the Lynxley empire's efforts to control narratives and discredit threats.
Series History
Season 1
S01E03 "The Eraser"
Clawmark is the primary target of S01E03. Investigators discover that he has been fabricating fake psychiatric diagnoses to discredit Pawbert---specifically, diagnoses of paranoid schizophrenia, antisocial personality disorder, and pathological lying. These fabrications were designed to undermine Pawbert's credibility as a cooperating witness, casting doubt on any testimony he might provide against the Lynxley network.
Upon arrest, Clawmark's interrogation proves critical to the broader investigation. He reveals the existence of a figure above him in the network hierarchy, known only by the codename "The Architect." This intelligence leads directly to the identification and pursuit of Vesper Coade in S01E04.
