Jake "Razor" Clawson was born Jacques Nathaniel Clawson, the only son of Holbrook and Vilhelmina Clawson, and the fourth born of their seven children. As the solitary male heir, Jacques suffered a heavy amount of pressuring from his mother to marry early and carry on the family name and estate, as well as strengthen their breed by having several children. Needing to escape the influence of his family, Jacques joined the Enforcers as soon as he reached the recruitment age, changed his name legally to 'Jake' in order to mold more comfortably into a new life, and underwent training as a mechanic before his talent with weaponry and natural inclination to a steady temperament, not to mention his father's sterling reputation, placed him on a two-person team with Chance Furlong, his future crime-fighting partner.

Character Design

In The Proletariat and The Bourgeiosie, Jake is a purebred Havana Brown, thus his original series design was altered slightly to better fit the coloring and frame of the breed. He is roughly between five and six feet tall, colored a light chocolate brown, and has (slightly too wide) yellow-green eyes.

As far as clothing went, in the series Jake shuffled between two outfits, his work uniform and his SWAT Kats jumpsuit. Throughout the storyline of P&B, he is shown wearing more casual, civillian-based clothing which mostly consists of dress shirts and khaki pants or slacks. However, there are several instances in the second installment of the story where he is jokingly encouraged to model dresses for Jynx and her friends.

Trivia

• Because the CFA records Siamese and Russian Blue as being used to breed the Havana Brown, the authors used the breed's given heritage in several instances within the story, including when Vilhelmina points out that Jake's 'Russian Blue is showing' when he gets angry. This quip was based on Nam's previous bad experiences with being on the receiving end of a neighborhood Russian Blue's wrath. Several times and with serious injuries and lingering scars to serve as a constant reminder.

• Jake was originally twenty in the P&B universe, but the age was changed to make more time for Jake and Chance to have trained and become friends and then SWAT Kats, as well as to better reflect the information gathered on the series' fandom and its view of the characters. Due to the age change, several of the arguments Jake made against his getting married were lost, one of which being a favored reply to Vilhelmina regarding that the young adult woudn't even legally be allowed to drink at his own wedding.

• Original designs of Chance and Jake involved the names Chuck and Yeager; these were referenced in a scene where Jake lamented the possibility of being named after an uncle (named Yeager) and Chance's dismissal of the choice as unfitting.
