This is my interprentation of Clockwerk's background:

There, beyond in a world of Owls, Clockwerk (Named En av lyset, which is one of light in Norwegian) lived as an ArchOwl, a very heavenly position of these owls. However, when they started to do a ritual about "The Earth Species", he didn't want to join in and started to challenge their leader, Leder av himmelen (Norvegian for Leader of Heaven, yes their culture is Norse), En av lyset lost his heavenly position and was shuned from the world. From there, he stole the leader's grand chariot and rode to another world, home of darkness, despair and hatriet. Inside a cave, there was a dark being who adopted him, and made him Advanced Technology, so that he can survive for eternity. En av lyset was no more, but was renamed Clockwerk. He was used in a war against a republic in a world of tall buildings, where a race of powerful warriors protected their territory. One was a raccoon named Wilhos Cooper, who lead Clockwerk to a world of reptiles and evolving people. (Yes. This is the Stone Age and yes. Wilhos is technacally Bob's father, making Wilhos the very first Cooper). Clockwerk was angry at him and was about to shoot him. But Wilhos escaped and left Clockwerk there on "Earth".

Latter on, in about one Earth year, Wilhos will put his son, in Earth, not realising that Clockwerk is also in it too, and Bob will evolve, as well as the rest of the Cooper Clan on Earth. Like I said, this is not official, but it is the story when Clockwerk became a dark entity.
