Claudius Blossom

Claudius Blossom

Claudius was the estranged twin brother of the late Clifford Blossom and son of Rose Blossom.

Early Life
Claudius and his twin brother Clifford were raised in Riverdale. Years later, Claudius would describe them back then as "a modern-day Romulus and Remus". Eventually, however, it became clear that their parents were grooming Claudius to inherit the Blossom business empire. On their 14th birthday, while down by Sweetwater River, Clifford threatened Claudius with a rifle, telling him of the "Blossom curse", in which one twin often met a violent end, often at the hands of the other. Although Clifford spared Claudius' life, Claudius was terrified enough to run away from home that very night. Claudius joined the Merchant Marines, and traveled the world, hoping to avoid the family curse.
