When he found a mummy in one of his snares, he tried to flee but was prevented from escaping by the deflection barrier Sutekh had ordered to be generated. When he heard Dr Warlock's death screams, he found and shot Marcus Scarman, who instantly recovered from the injury. The mummies then pursued Clements, eventually catching and killing him.

Following Sutekh's defeat, Clements was found dead on the grounds of the priory after it burned down. According to a newspaper report, he was believed to have died trying to escape the fire.
