History: Claus Kirkland was born in Northampton, England, the son of a tailor and an environmental activist. When Claus was two, his mother perished when her raft was run over by a whaling vessel. Her body was later recovered, ravaged by the cold water and half consumed by fish. Claus would later find it ironic that the nature she struggled so hard to protect would end up mutilating her deceased body.
From then on, Claus was raised by his father, who didn't really mind being alone, every morning he popped open two cans of beer, drank them, and went to work. Claus would recall his father barely reacting to anything, saying a dog could blow up in front of him and he would have called it "Hippy bullshit". Claus' father Kirkland later lost four fingers on his left hand as a result of an accident during a tour of a toy factory. Claus remembers hearing his father's fingers crunching after being caught in a machine, his only reaction was to shrug. "Well there they go, fingers will be severed, it happens." He is said to have commented. Mister Kirkland retired and lived the rest of his days on a disability pension.
Claus excelled in school despite being horridly lazy and spending most of his time alone and strumming at a ukulele. Once, a teenager who had come to pick up a little brother broke one of Claus' instruments, the teen was hit so hard he took damage to the empathy center of his brain, he later became a US senator. Claus also developed a violent streak, though most often he kept to himself. He began taking hard drugs at the age of fifteen, losing his virginity at thirteen.
Claus graduated college at the age of twenty at the top of his class, and he quickly established his first band, named "Satan Scab".
By all accounts it was terrible.
But Claus proved himself a skilled enough guitarist to be hired by a large band called "Red BattaLion", with whom he played for seven years. The band was quite popular already, and Claus' joining came just before the group won multiple awards. After releasing twenty singles and forty albums (Mostly filled with random screaming and slamming of a guitar against the ground.), Claus departed from the band on good terms, attempting to retire from music to finally become a doctor. However, due to boredom and his father's worsening illnesses (Liver failure, gangrene, multiple cardiac arrests and a stroke.), mostly boredom, Claus decided to return to music.
Psychological Profile: Claus is a very lazy and self-serving man, enjoying life's pleasures without a thought as to how they may affect others. Claus is aggressive and rude, but he is loyal and trusting as well, just hard to get to know due to his unwillingness to speak to new people. Claus often serves as a mediator in disputes, as he very rarely gets into fights with those whom he knows. Claus is afraid of commitment and has never been with a woman more than a year. Claus' worst fear is that he will end up insignificant, end up rich but unremembered. Claus in recent years has struggled with his Bipolar syndrome and lawsuits as a result of his decadent lifestyle.

Yes, and: One day when writing a medicine textbook, Claus suffered what most would consider a "Heart attack", but what Claus considered "Encouragement". After checking out of hospital, Claus drove his taxi (Don't ask) five centimeters to the nearest mall. He entered, bought a personally designed hat with his name on it, when asked why, he said that he didn't know. He then went around the mall shouting to random people about how he was a famous musician. Driving to a bar, Claus drank a lot, came out hammered, and decided to find a new band to join, but not before vomiting on his car door and slamming it into a tree. It was then that he was a help wanted sign on a newspaper that had somehow ended up in his car. Using all the brain cells he had left to dial the number, he called it and yelled.
"I'M CLAUS KIRKLAND FR-FROM RED BATTALION I'M JOINING YOUR BAND.""Sir, we're looking for a busboy."
"DAMN COMMIE! YOU KNOW YOU WANT ME!""Sir, we're calling the police."
"NO THANKS REVEILLE, I'LL SEE MYSELF TO THE HAPPY TRAILS!" When he awoke the next morning sober, he called the right number.
"Hey it's Claus Kirkland fr-Red B-ttLion... *Snore* I need ajob please. Call me back a-the number."
