PERSONALITY:
Clem Fandango is currently working through post-divorce depression and exhaustion.
Clem has a dry sense of humor and an amused, almost frightening thrill about being in a place weirder than Castle Rock or Arkham. He is pretty much an introvert until you add alcohol. At that point, he either becomes a generous host or a total dumpster fire. He is trying to keep the latter under control by staying home, enjoying the company of his friends, and figuring out why the hell he ended up on this island.
WHAT HE HAS ON HIM:
A bronze medallion around the neck that makes all non-humans uneasy about it and what it might do if activated or messed with.
A beat-up black leather wallet containing a few fives and an Enterdyne National Bank Visa card.
A wedding ring.
Usually a leather-bound journal or novel.

BACKSTORY:
Clem arrived via ferry after it arrived in Wailing Rock. He was bounced by one of the operators of the ferry who thought he was drunk. Really, Clem was drugged and his last memory was being in a pub among friends in a small Bar Harbor Tavern. He had no idea how long ago that was. It might have been hours or maybe even months.
Wandering town, he thought for a while he was on one of those New England artist colonies until he realized the sun was going the wrong direction. As the hours passed, he found himself in the woods and a campsite with available cabins. A red one caught his attention with a familiar-looking symbol painted on the front wall and a letter pinned to the door by a Swiss Army Knife with his name on the facing side.
Clem learned from this that the person who brought him to Wailing Rock did so in order for him to "lay low for a while." And the interior was littered with type-written pages of some indecipherable academic subject, a few cheap furnishings and five cases of warm beer.
At this point, Clem is not so interested anymore in figuring out who he was. He's met that floating asshole farting green smoke carrying a book ...and doesn't need to do so again. He's met people who bring him into the now and make him feel like a decent human again.
That's not to say his first few nights weren't rough.
UPDATE: Following an encounter with the aforementioned asshole floating in a green fart cloud, Clem had to be "healed" and in the process, regained some of his memories.
Clem was once a member of a secret society of monster hunters and recently "retired" by them so he could finally enjoy life. This was an involuntary retirement and the details behind that decision are still unknown, but as far as the outside world is concerned, "Clem Fandango" was the victim of a carjacking in Bar Harbor that ended with him being tied to a tree, stabbed, and left to be consumed by the animals of the Acadia National Park.
Braugher runs into Clem at the cafe.
Braugher: Hey, I stopped by the house the other day and it was empty.
Clem: You say that like it should be news to me.
Baugher: It was to me. Did you and Gran get another place?
Clem: Well...we each got our own new places.
Baugher: ... Oh.
Clem: It's all good. Well, not really, but it isn't terrible. I think the word I'm looking for is 'sad' maybe.
Baugher: Separation?
Clem: Not bodily, no.
Baugher: You know what I mean.
Clem: We decided keeping a house together wasn't fair because she has so many responsibilities and she's away most of the time, so I am taking a cue from David Gilmour and living on a houseboat. Smaller digs, but my view is the sound, sometimes a cargo ship, maybe a school of piscis sapiens frolicking in the surf...
Baugher: Sorry, man.
Baugher: What about the shop? You keeping that?
Clem: Nah. I absorbed too much negative energy. This island is just surging with it. Don't tell my landlord but I almost caused a feedback loop through a micro-rift causing a cross-rift that almost swallowed the block.
Baugher: So you nearly exploded the neighborhood.
Clem: Kinda. The neighborhood was almost swallowed by a cosmic titan, like a gnat getting sucked up a dog's nose.
Baugher: Poetry.
Clem: That's what happens when you build equipment sensitive to psychokinetic energies on top of an underground lycanthrope holding pen and activate it during a full moon. Pro tip: Always scope the property 20 meters above and below as well as around.
Baugher: Right. So you're down at the beach now.
Clem: Other end of the street. Bring your guitar and we'll jam sometime.
