Bio: Claude was born in Alvada to a family which was chock full of sailors, with a few tiny merchants here and there. What saved his future from being one of menial labor (or hawking wares at the streets) was the fact that his parents were a deviation from the family's norm. Both Saul and Mina were not only privateers, but also part of a fairly successful crew. Mina was originally her ship's first mate and though she had to step down to take care of her children, she and her husband got a good share of plunder during their best days. The couple didn't want their two kids, Claude and his (ten months) older brother Carm, dealing with the same world of violence or ending up in a job with mediocre pay. Using most of their savings, they paid for their children's schooling.
The Nassau brothers had always been competitive and that didn't change when they stopped helping around the house and walking on a ship's deck and started reading books and learning numbers. While Claude and Carm abhorred losing, their little bets and matches tended to be tempered by a friendly sibling rivalry. They were also generally friendly, though they could still get fired up in the heat of the moment whenever there was a contest of nearly any sort. They proved to be fast learners and, driven by their nature, quickly became proficient enough in accounting, book-keeping and, thanks to their pleasant manners, conducting negotiations.
It didn't take long for the siblings to take up good careers befitting their higher learning, much to their parents' relief. While Claude became a mercantile liaison with connections in a fair number of trading guilds, Carm opened his own business with some assistance from his parents, providing information and advice in financial matters to merchants and nobles. The brothers cooperated whenever possible, as Claude was more likely to have valuable intel he could find and supply to Carm while the latter's information network was still taking its first steps. Their competitive nature hadn't disappeared, however, and either hoped to get rich quicker than the other. Intelligent, fairly sociable and adaptable, it looked like both would make it there; it was likely only a matter of time.
The brothers' little race to riches fell apart one day, when a trading vessel Claude was traveling in was attacked by ax-wielding Domirian pirates. There was a short struggle that ended in the pirates' victory and nearly all of the cargo was lost. That wasn't a good experience for Claude who, as mentioned before, was rather competitive and absolutely despised losing. Being unable to do anything when the ship he was in was attacked by ruffians led him to take his life in a direction his parents had never wanted in first place: he looked for weapon tutors, found out swords were considered superior when matched against axes and spent a good part of his money in a marathon of swordfighting classes. He also decided to experience some firsthand learning and started offering his skills as a swordsman, accountant and mercantile factor. While Carm gained a lead in their competition, he tried to dissuade Claude from his new pursuits and still worries about his younger brother.
Ultimately, Claude joined up with Ethan to sharpen his sword skills and provide the kind of expertise in financial matters, book-keeping and mercantile knowledge most privateers could do with.
