'''Michelle Clore''' is an artist world famous for her circle pictures. She is also a high ranking [[Elder]] in the [[Hymn of One]] and [[The Order]].

==Background==
===Enticing Kate===
[[Image:KM0073MichelleCloreKate.jpg|thumb|left|Michelle and Kate]]
Michelle Clore is known to be reclusive, iconic and is very rarely seen in public. She has an American accent. She travels with [[Michelle Clore's Shadow|two body guards]], dressed in black with dark sunglasses. She claims that she is always interested in what young people are doing creatively and is particularly interested in [[Kate]]'s dream interpretation videos. She told Kate at the exhibition at the [[Second Space Gallery ]] that she has made some really fine work, that a lot of people are very interested in her and that she has caused "a lot of buzz". After the [[The Gallery - 6pm 22nd September 2007| shooting incident]] she thanked Kate for saving her life. When Kate demanded to know what the shooter meant by [[the Order]], Michelle Clore replied "let me show you." 

Michelle Clore [[Why?|met with Kate]] immediately before Kate's disappearance. It is unknown what she told Kate, but Kate was visibly upset during their meeting and Kate's behavior changed dramatically afterwards. Kate assaulted [[Charlie]] and willingly got into a van with a man in a dark suit and sunglasses. Kate later returns and says that she has been studying art with Michelle, and adapts many of Michelle's practices, many of them brutal.

[[Dudley]] and [[Dr. William Griffin]] theorized that Michelle Clore was an [[Elder]] of [[the Order]]. It is soon discovered that her [http://bebo.com/PhotoAlbum.jsp?PhotoNbr=1&MemberId=4267425489&PhotoAlbumId=5740115276  circle picture contains a stereogram] of the [[Hymn of One]] symbol and [[Hear My Song|her name is on the Hymn of One register]]. Later events seem to confirm the theory, as Michelle Clore is regularly seen with a Shadow and has a substantial amount of authority within the Hymn of One and The Order itself.

===Plan Failed===
[[Image:KM0143-CloreonPhone.jpg|thumb|right|Michelle reveals her intentions.]]
After Kate murders Dudley, she slips into a hysterical state and turns to Michelle for guidance. They make [[Abstract Heart|an art video together]], which exhibits many poses that are seen in [[The Ceremony]] that robs Trait Positive girls of their blood, extending the life of the Elder. Not long after, Michelle and Kate journey to America where they spent a month studying and creating art. Unbeknownst to her, [[Steve]] was keeping surveillance, and captured Michelle revealing her true plan on camera.

Soon after Kate and Michelle returned to London, Steve abducted Kate and contacted Charlie through a series of Text Messages. Once Charlie arrived, Steve [[Coming Home for Xmas|revealed]] that Michelle had duped Kate into believing that Kate was an Elder whose memory was erased. In actuality, Michelle was keeping an eye on Kate to make sure her [[trait positive]] levels became normal again. This implies that Kate was being prepared for the [[Ceremony]]. Once Kate found out, she ran off with a list of genetically altered trait positives and lived on the streets. Kate's friends believed that Kate defected back to Michelle, but Michelle [[Kate Come Home|admitted]] that she had a team trying to track down Kate and did not know her whereabouts.

The Search was cut short on [[Resolution|New Year's Day]], when [[Terrence]] sought retaliation on Clore and her [[Watcher]]s for stealing [[Gavin]] & [[Tariq]]'s software that he had invested in. As Terrence pulled a semi-automatic weapon on a defenseless Clore, a group of Watchers and [[Shadow]]s stormed in and saved Michelle. The next day, Michelle and her bodyguards left from Heathrow Airport to attend an artistic retreat in Ardak Island, where she remained for the next few weeks, making videos and taking stock of the situation.

===Dealing with Terrence===
Following Kate's murder, Charlie sought Michelle for answers regarding Kate's final days. Michelle denied having anything to do with Kate's murder, and suggested that fault may lie with [[Steve]]. However, it is later revealed that she was well aware that Terrence was the actual culprit, and had sent him to retreive Kate as compensation for the attack on her. However, Terrence accidentally kills Kate, so Michelle and the rest of the Order have him take care of the Girls on the list in order to make up for his mistake.

While Charlie and Steve [[Precious Blood: 6PM|search the bunker]] for Terrence, they find a disk containing Michelle Clore speaking in Turkish. It is [[Outta Here|later revealed]] that she has put a hit out on the [[TAAG|Los Angeles-based resistance group]]. She continues to keep a low profile until [[Straight To The Top|Gavin finds her]] and accuses her of conspiring with Kate to disrupt his life. She ignores him, and tries to lure [[Lauren]] into her grasp as she had Kate, but fails, receiving a slap instead.

Two weeks later, [[Jeffrey]] and [[Raymond]] of [[The FTO]], an club revolving around bringing down the Order, [[. (video)|kidnap Lauren]] and force her to play part in [[Answers|a Sting Operation]] against Michelle. Lauren contacts her and tells her that Terrence was with her and wanted Shadow drugs. Michelle and her Watcher met her on a rooftop, while Jeffrey and Raymond hid in the shadows with a gun. Michelle is visibly annoyed that Terrence isn't there, and becomes impatient. She orders her Shadow to take Lauren, and as he does so, Terrence shows up and beats him until he looses consciousness. While Michelle and Terrence argue, Jeffrey jumps out and shoots them both, killing Michelle and wounding Terrence.

Not long after, news of Michelle's demise [[The Day She Died|hit the airwaves]]. However, it seems that either The FTO or the Order have made it look like a suicide to either hide their crime or keep the Order out of the spotlight, respectively.
