The "Clyde 2.0" personality construct differs from the original Clyde in many ways, particularly in that he (or "it") is completely ruthless and driven to further the goal of taking over the world using wiping technology. Paradoxically, due to Clyde 2.0's core personality rewrite, he is utterly loyal to Boyd and Rossum, "docile" in the sense that he will blindly follow their orders. Thus, Clyde 2.0 is both a driving force behind the creation of Rossum as well as a puppet of Boyd and Rossum. Due to his programming, he seems to even be consciously aware of this contradiction, but is programmed not to feel bothered by it.
