Ike Clanton

Ike Clanton (1847-1887) was an American outlaw who made an appearance in Wyatt Earp's nightmare in Martian Dreams, despite having died by gunshot wound eight years previously in an event unrelated to Earp.

In Earp's dream, he was an ornery, charcoal-grey stallion called "Marshall" awaiting to be sold at auction, and Clanton was one of the bidders. When the Avatar asked him about the various horses up for auction, Ike said of the grey stallion, "Don't much like the look in his eye. I imagine some day it'd come down to him or me."

The Avatar could bid against Clanton for either Wyatt Earp as the horse "Marshall", Smith the brown horse, or Pistol the black stallion. If the Avatar subsequently bid against Clanton for "Marshall" and eventually won, Clanton looked disgusted, saying only an idiot would pay so much. The hero set "Marshall" free afterwards, thus freeing Wyatt Earp from the Dream-World.
