Five Fingers

The Five Fingers (五本指), were the top subordinates of Clayman and were considered his most valuable assets. Their naming motif is that of the five fingers on a hand in order of strongest to weakest starting from the thumb.

Background
As seen with the situations of Mjurran, Adalman and Kumara, Clayman’s Five Fingers were mostly recruited through unscrupulous means, with Yamza (and probably Pirone) being the only to offer his loyalty of his own volition. Having utilized his magic and curses in order to forcibly bind them to him and follow his orders, typically against their will.

Clayman himself has shown to primarily use them as disposable pawns in his schemes, as seen where he had no problem having Mjurran undergo a suicide mission on his behalf and had no problem sacrificing Yamza to kill his enemies should he be overpowered. Clayman himself showcased no other attachment to Pirone, Adalman and Kumara and was only either annoyed or outraged when they were killed or defeated due to them inconveniencing him and disrupting his plans.

Trivia

 * In the Clayman Revenge spin-off, it is revealed that Alvaro, one of Demon Lord Kazalim's subordinates used to hold the position of the Thumb of the Five Fingers. However, after Yamza falsely accused Alvaro of badmouthing Clayman behind his back, he was removed from the position and instead became a part of the supply troops. In the Trinity in Tempest spin-off however, he isn't actually one of the Five Fingers at all and was instead directly transferred to the supply chain of Clayman's army since he wanted to place his master's subordinates out of harm's way.
 * All the Five Fingers detest Clayman. However, in Clayman Revenge, they instead like him and respect him.
