Claudius Blossom

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.Claudius' disappearance devastated his mother, who could not even bear to speak his name. Clifford, who went on to inherit the Blossom business, never even told his children of Claudius' existence.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".
