Supposedly there were humans on Deponia, they said. That's why the elders appointed an inspector to get an assessment of the situation. And now guess who this inspector is. — Cletus to Rufus about the destruction of Deponia (Deponia)

Personality[]
Much like Rufus, Cletus is a narcissist, with no empathy or morals, who sees everyone else as lesser men. When Rufus contacted Cletus, he seemed to be very concerned about Goal's well being, he even agreed to take Rufus to Elysium if Rufus were to bring her to the ascension station. However, it was later revealed that he only needed the ascension codes and that Goal was nothing more than a nuisance to him.
Argus - "Are you sure this Rufus character is naive enough to bring your fiancee here?"
Cletus - "Absolutely. He's a self-centered, greedy rat. The expectation to get to Elysium will lure him here."
Argus - "I really don't understand what you see in that woman, Cletus. As far as I am concerned, she's simply an unpredictable risk for our joint venture."
Cletus - "Believe me, after everything she did, I'd prefer to leave her behind on Deponia too. But i need the ascension codes to return to Elysium. And, unfortunately, those codes are only stored in her brain implant. No Goal, no ascension codes. And without ascension codes, there's no joint venture."
Enemies[]
- Rufus -
Trivia[]
- It is unknown whether or not Cletus is aware of being a clone.
