Clarence the Parrot

Clarence was a parrot purchased by Henry Radcliffe in Gernika during the earliest days of Atlantean settlements. Clarence was bright green, with a yellow head, a red face, and a large, hooked beak. The parrot spoke Basque better than Henry could himself. When the bird was brought home to New Hastings, Henry's father Edward Radcliffe joked that The Devil must be teaching birds the Basque language to disprove the popular notion that the language was too difficult for the Devil himself to learn.
