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 Pirone being the only ones to offer their loyalty of their 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

 * The group name reflects how Clayman saw them as extensions of his own reach; Clayman being the "palm" the fingers extend from.
 * Alvaro was kicked out due to Yamza telling Clayman some poor information that Alvaro was secretly insulting him behind his back.
 * Adalman was the only member not directly recruited by Clayman, but rather by the Curse Lord Kazalim.
