I'm wondering if Clovis would ever join a faction. I mean, I know he prefers to be alone, staying in his own little corner, and most likely smart enough to avoid too much trouble. However, not being in a faction would be detrimental to one's health, but I don't think Clovis would allow himself to be ordered around by another person, his ego would be too big. Also, I don't think he would ever try to start a new faction due to his new arrival and age, and even making one in the early stages would be easily shut down by the stronger and older factions. So, should I make Clovis independent? It seems that it is pointing towards that direction.

In my opinion, I'd put him in a faction. Even if he is more of a loner, he doesn't necessarily have to like his faction or be friends with the people in his faction. He just has to use them to stay safe.
