History
Claus was living happily with his family. Years later, they had to leave Alec to see Flint. However, on their way, the trio were attacked by a Mecha Drago. Hinawa risks her life and dies for her sons. This made Claus become angry and go missing from Tazmily Village. While everyone was grieving Hinawa's grave, Lucas reveals that Claus has gone to avenge his mother by killing the Mecha Drago, stealing his father's knife.
However, on his way, he fell from of a cliff, and the Pigmasks found him, brainwashing him and turning him into the Masked Man.
Claus needed to pull the seven needles to help Porky, but Lucas and his crew stop him, fighting him. Claus flies away.
Before the final battle against Claus, Flint reveals to Lucas that the "Masked Man" was actually Claus. This forced Lucas to guard until his brother comes to his senses. Thanks to Hinawa, Claus was able to come to his senses, but eventually suicides so that his brother can pull the final needle. He apologizes to Lucas and his father and says that he will be going to "that place" where his mother is, but is sure they will meet again someday, before giving his final breath.

However, despite the hatred that defines him, it is revealed Claus fights to "carry his dreams", which means he still cares about people's happiness, even his biological family themselves.
