Clarity Held

Clarity Held is the unusual name of the love interest of Philip Lynx, better known as Flinx. She has appeared in several of Alan Dean Foster’s Humanx Commonwealth novels, first in "Flinx in Flux". She is slightly older than Flinx and a scientific researcher and was first encountered by Flinx on the planet Alaspin where she had been abducted by a group of assassins.

At the end of "Flinx's Folly" when she and Flinx were planning on leaving New Riveria together, Clarity was seriously wounded in an attack on Flinx between Commonwealth Peaceforcers and assassins from the Order of Null, forcing her to remain behind with Truzenzuzex and Bran Tse-Mallory while Flinx left in his ship to find the Krang weapons platform.

In "Running from the Deity" it is revealed that Clarity has been taken by Tru and Bran to the thranx world Hivehom where she learns that the galactic destroy coming towards the Human Commonwealth is both larger than originally thought and accelerating in its devastating journey.
