Biography
Due to being Lucas's twin brother, Claus's appearance is very similar. He wears a cyan and yellow striped t-shirt, orange shorts and blue shoes. He also has black eyes with pink blushes on his cheeks. His hair is ginger orange and has a similar style to Lucas's, which curve upwards on the left but begins to curl more towards the right than Lucas's does.
Claus is the older twin brother. He lives in the southern portion of Tazmily Village with his brother Lucas, his father Flint, his mother Hinawa and their dog Boney. Like Lucas, his favorite food are Omelets.
Personality wise, Claus is hyperactive, outgoing and very talkative, contrasting Lucas's more quiet, self-reserved personality. He loves to play, especially with his brother Lucas. Claus is constantly active, always rushing and running to places such as when his mother Hinawa calls the twins over for lunch in the prologue, where he is the first to rush off to Alec's house for lunch. He is occasionally described as mischievous among some of the villagers and a minor troublemaker. Claus is also more courageous than Lucas, however he is also impulsive as he rushed to fight the Drago that killed his mother to avenge her without considering the dangers. He still, however, cares deeply about his family, and was ths first to arrive at Hinawa's grave.
Role in Mother 3
Claus first appears in the prologue, visiting his grandfather at Mt. Oriander. He loves playing with the Drago family, and spent most of his time on his visit playing outside and exploring. In Chapter 1, however, he's yet to return home from his visit because the forest ends up on fire, and there are many dangerous animals agitated. His mother is killed by one of these reconstructed animals, the Mecha-Drago, and seeks revenge after being found and rescued by the Tazmily townsfolk.
He tells only Lucas about his plan to take revenge against the Mecha-Drago for killing his mother, and steals his father's homemade knife to fight it. When Flint is put in jail for injuring a few of the villagers, Claus lets him out by concealing a nail file in an apple for him to break the lock with. Claus then heads off to the mountains, meeting the Magypsies on the way there and learning of his psychic abilities. He finds the Mecha-Drago, and gets at least severely injured in the fight. He then went missing, and none of the townsfolk know of what happened to him. Flint spends the next three years searching for him in the mountains, to no avail.
It is later revealed that while he was missing for three years, he was taken in by the Pigmasks at some point and was brainwashed and reconstructed. He became the Masked Man, commander of the army, and was Porky's loyal "robot". Porky then uses him to pull the Seven Needles, a crucial part in his plan to destroy the world. During a long battle with his brother, fighting over the final Needle, the ghost of Hinawa appears. She urges him to stop fighting, and reminds him that he's not Porky's robot, but Claus, her son. He finally recalls his former identity, and commits suicide to join his mother in the afterlife.
In the Super Smash Bros. series
One of Lucas's alternate costumes starting with his introduction in Super Smash Bros. Brawl changes his color scheme to resemble Claus, where his hair changes to orange and the color scheme of his clothes changes to match Claus's.
Claus himself has a sticker in Brawl which increases Lucas and Ness's PSI attack power by 13. In Super Smash Bros. Ultimate, Claus has a neutral type Spirit. In his Spirit Battle, he is represented by the aforementioned orange Lucas and a gray metal Lucas with a Beam Sword, the latter of which represents when he was brainwashed into becoming the Masked Man. The Masked Man himself additionally has a Spirit of his own, which is an attack Spirit who starts the player off with a Beam Sword and increases the power of sword-based attacks.
