LAURENCE ST. CLAIR, born from the unconventional union of a wealthy media mogul father and a destitute mother, witnessed the dissolution of his family when he was only a few years old. never-ending familial fissures led to an early divorce, casting the two st. clair sons adrift as their father, frederick, took custody of laurie, while their mother, emily, was left to care for the youngest st. clair.
from a tender age, laurie and his brother were set on different paths, with harsh distinctions in privilege and opportunity. they were estranged, and they resented each other for it. brothers in blood, but not much else. it was as if each boy was erased entirely from the other’s consciousness.
in stark contrast to his brother, laurie’s childhood was defined by the opulence of his father’s wealth. the corridors of luxury were staffed with nannies, private chefs, and housekeepers who created a cushioned childhood to mask the absence of paternal warmth. the young boy was often neglected by his father in favor of business and political pursuits — though frederick still carried grand notions for the boy. laurie was his son, and thus, he was expected to succeed. to follow in frederick’s footsteps and carry on the st. clair legacy.
laurie never shared this sentiment. his interests lay far from the corporate world, the boy preferring the thrill of parties after high school football games, binging his father’s lavish liquor collection, and immersing himself in the vibrant chaos of new york city’s nightlife. any real talents remained unexplored due to a lack of interest in anything that couldn’t provide instant gratification. laurie didn’t want to work hard — his only dream was to pursue unbridled fun and good feelings. it didn’t matter if they were fleeting.
despite laurie’s protests, his father orchestrated his entry into new york university’s stern school of business, hoping to push laurie into embracing his legacy. though he resisted at first, it turned out university could be a great excuse to indulge in his vices. and that’s exactly what laurie did. he navigated his coursework with minimal effort, money and charm at his disposal to act as a strategy for scraping by. it wasn’t hard to convince hook-ups and one night stands to write his papers, ensuring he never stayed on the brink of academic expulsion for too long. he rendered his education inconsequential, the boy’s trajectory only encouraged.
with an expensive degree languishing in the shadows of his tumultuous lifestyle, laurie remained unmoved by his father’s attempts to force him into a mold. instead, his continued disdain for traditional employment manifested in sporadic modeling gigs and a budding instagram presence — a rebellious dance on the tightrope between privilege and defiance. meanwhile, a clandestine affair with cocaine became his unspoken companion. the drug was a swift remedy for the transient joy he often felt, suppressing anything beyond the surface that threatened his pursuit of incessant euphoria.
the growing schism between fatherly expectations and laurie’s clashing inclinations bred hostility, painting a turbulent backdrop to his emerging adulthood. laurie wasn’t the type to shy away from the public eye, either. tabloids relished in the opportunity to paint the younger st. clair as an emblem of unearned privilege and purposeless decadence — a character of fascination and scorn, who flaunted his wealth with no societal contribution. scandals involving alcohol, drugs, excessive partying, and a recent DUI allegation plagued laurie’s reputation, leading his father to issue a weighted ultimatum: CLEAN UP OR GET CUT.
it was the first time laurie’s father truly put his foot down, threatening to an end not only to his financial support but his power. if laurie was cut off, he wouldn’t get away with breaking the rules the same way he did as a st. clair — and this terrified him. without his name, he was nothing. so, although he was inclined toward reluctancy, laurie began the arduous process of breaking his habits and rebuilding his image.
amidst the trials of reinvention, however, a new player entered the scene — ACE ST. CLAIR, laurie’s long lost younger brother. an up-and-coming major league soccer talent, ace represented the success laurie never cared to attain. ace’s debut on what was once laurie’s turf threatened the boy’s tentative steps toward redemption. he feared losing everything, feared the thought that his father might embrace ace as his replacement for a son — for his inheritance. it’s the first time laurie ever felt he might have to compete for his father’s favor, and it only makes grappling with sobriety and the gravitational pull of old vices that much harder.

laurie is unemployed . . . kind of. his nepotistic socialite status gets him a few modeling gigs per year, and a handful of brands pay him to post pictures wearing their clothes. one might say he’s an influencer . . . but he detests that notion, and he’d much rather tell you he's allergic to labor.
when he was young, laurie spent a lot of time with a nanny who introduced him to the game of chess. surprisingly, he excelled at it, showcasing a cleverness that often goes unnoticed amidst his tumultuous lifestyle. he still plays everyday, though usually just on chess dot com. his score is 1874.
laurie's father owns a media conglomerate ( clairvision enterprises ) similar to that of abc, nbc, cnn, fox, the fictional waystar royco from succession, etc. the company was founded in 1996, a year before laurie was born, and started simply as a news broadcast channel called SCNBC — st. clair news broadcast channel. over the years, the company has evolved to include holdings such as numerous print and digital media publications, a film production studio, a theme park with resorts and a cruise line, and even its own streaming service. politically, scnbc is generally left-leaning, though it has a reputation for being a low-biased source for news.
