Clark, also known as Clark & Associates or Griffin, was one of Daniel Larson's many managers, who pretended to be a lawyer for the VanderWaal family and self-proclaimed "assistant helper" to Daniel who exploited Daniel's delusional fantasies of being in contact with them, and financially enabled Daniel by supplying him with a steady flow of cash and gift cards. Clark initially found Daniel during the Las Vegas Arc, to which he then, quote, "played the long game" after he obtained his number from an unknown individual, until he managed to gain the title of Daniel's manager. He has fallaciously claimed to be a lawyer (hence the name "Clark & Associates"); his "firm's" name is plastered on the Folsom Country court hearing.

Clark has been involved in many incidents, most notably the Golden Hotel Incident, which occurred on December 23rd, 2023, wherein he convinced Daniel that there was a reservation for a week stay at the hotel, when there was not one, which resulted in Daniel causing damage to property inside the establishment. Additionally, Clark spread false information of Grace VanderWaal being harassed by police officers, which kicked off the Olive Garden Incident, which ended in Daniel pulling the fire alarm and wasting emergency services that could have been utilized elsewhere.

On December 17th, 2023, Clark's identity was finally exposed by one of Daniel's most infamous managers, Flexburger, after he did an interview with the YouTube channel, LarsonLeak. Despite his identity being exposed, Clark appears to have not stopped managing Daniel, being active as Daniel's manager since September 2023. According to Clark, his main goal is to "finish this guy off", and potentially get Daniel in either housing or prison. Though, this has not happened and currently shows no signs of happening.

Clark has an incredibly negative reputation, as even before being exposed, he was criticized for "gatekeeping" content about Daniel.

Background

Prior to managing Daniel, Clark, quote, "had a decent thing going" for himself when he graduated from high school, but after trying his luck in college, Clark ended up getting expelled within a couple of months of enrolling due to his constant drinking and, quote, "doing a lot of stupid things", although it's unclear as to what this means. After attending rehabilitation for his alcoholism, Clark came to the conclusion that he could redirect his obsession with drinking and, quote, "being a toxic person in reason" by putting all of his time into Daniel. Seeing as Daniel was ripe for exploitation in the lead up to his interactions with him, Clark obtained his number from an unknown individual and started to message him until he gained Daniel's trust.

According to Clark, him and Daniel "understand each other the best" because of their inclination to immature thinking, though this is probably untrue due to Clark being neurotypical and Daniel being extremely mentally ill.

After becoming Daniel's manager, Clark alleged in an interview that they spoke more than 10 hours a week, to a point where it was interfering with his work schedule and relationship with his parents. This got to a point where Clark was reprimanded at his job for speaking to Daniel so much, and so much so that his parents knew who Daniel was after catching Clark talking to Daniel on Thanksgiving Day of all days. This is given the fact that due to Daniel's homelessness and lack of money, he does almost nothing all day.
