I'd say good on the herd reference but remember referencing the class (spy, scholar, warrior) is not what we're looking for here - there should have been some reference to the fact Lithium is an informant as there's no such reference here I'd have been hard pushed to give you anything at all for that.
The name reference is there but again I'd say fairly vague as you're only providing one clue and it is acting as a double clue with the more obvious herd reference. I quite like the use of double clues but I'd go for including something like a side effect of losing too much potassium like ataxia or seizures to make your clue more secure when it's judged. Here Wikipedia is your friend for finding out slightly random things - especially the disambiguation pages.
Good for including Lithium's element but the history is quite vague and both can apply to a lot of characters. Try maybe looking at more of your intended steal's posts, their objectives, their relationships with other characters, their titles, their colour perhaps. Something that you can use to narrow the number of possibilities when explaining your steal when the clues are combined - I might not have explained that so well so let's take Caitriona for example.
She's a grey fire elemental mercenary but these three things could also be used for Lebanon if you angle the grey clue towards meaning white. Sort of ambiguous enough that singularly they can apply to multiple characters but combining them narrows it when you give your explanation.
Did that help any?
