HISTORY
TW: BULLYING, ABUSE, PREDATORY BEHAVIOR, HALLUCINATIONS, DELUSIONS, MENTION OF SUICIDE ATTEMPT
Claude barely remembers his parents, having been surrendered to an orphanage at five years old. Even as a child, he was extremely anxious, barely speaking and often cowering in a corner or behind the staff's legs. A significant reason for this was that his peers scorned him for being a cobalt, some for the joy of it and others out of genuine misunderstanding, as they claimed that touching him would kill him, accusing him of trying to kill them, and calling him a death trap.
Eventually, Claude discovered that his father was schizophrenic, and a particularly manic episode had seen Claude removed from the man's care. His mother was unable to take care of him by herself, and so she had given Claude up for adoption. Unfortunately, Claude never
was adopted, and he was kicked out onto the streets once he aged out.
He was homeless for a while until a passerby took pity on him and gave him a job as a night watchman for the local graveyard. While it wasn't the most ideal of settings, the job gave him enough money to afford rent for a small house, so he withstood the scarier parts of it.
When he was twenty-nine, he met a young Vampir named Adam who'd snuck into the graveyard at night as part of a bet with his friends. Much to his surprise, they hit it off, and before he knew it, they were dating. Adam would frequently ask Claude to let him feed on him, but Claude, who'd told Adam he was a Celestine, refused.
Over time, his rejections enraged Adam. The man accused him of being selfish and distrustful. One night, when the man was drunk, the insults turned into physical aggression, and Claude sustained multiple claw marks to the face before he managed to push Adam off of him.
The entire time, Claude only blamed himself, believing he deserved Adam's rage because he was lying to the other man. He believed that he truly
was a horrible partner, but he was afraid that Adam would leave him if he told him the truth.
In the end, it didn't matter, as Adam wound up drinking from Claude in his sleep one night, and consequentially died. Claude was horrified by this discovery, and as usual, he blamed himself for it. His distress was intense enough to cause a psychotic break. He began seeing Adam everywhere and assumed it was the man's ghost haunting him for his wrongdoings, tormented by insults Adam continued to hurl at him in death.
Fortunately, he was able to reconnect with his mother and he visits her often, though a previous attempt on her life has impaired her functioning.
