Thought about a AU where the brothers live and I was thinking of one where Claggor is found in the rubble and missed back to health by Silco but mostly is looked after by Sevika.
Silco really can't find it in himself to look at the boy because of the resemblance he has to Vander. Honestly questions if he was the boy's biological father. Sevika takes him on and is pretty tough on him but in the way a mother would. For a long time there has been tension between the two. For obvious reasons she betrayed Vander but over time he sees her reasoning and understands why she didn't side with Vander. Still challenges her on the fact she chose Silco of all people.
Dose her own rough version of preening moms do where she looks him over and jerks him around and checks him for injuries after he's sent out on "errands"
He doesn't fight it he lets it happen if he's feeling particularly sassy he'll call her mom. Which usually gets followed by him getting popped upside his head.
He doesn't truly follow Silco of his ideals. And keeps up the meeker and mild older brother/ child deamnor as a mask to not cause suspicions on covertly sending tips to the fire lights.
He doesn't know that Ekko is the leader he's only ever met Scar and a few others after being spared once. He is a regular at the brothels and uses it to cope.he contemplates using shimmer.
But like most hypocritical parents with addictions Sevika would beat his ass if she caught that boy.
Only other literally unhealthy coping mechanism is probably smoking the similar stuff Vander does also out of a pipe. Makes him look like his old man even more. And will spend leisure time taking a smoke and tinkering on his own little projects. Or sketching in a little booklet.
So yeah he also grew out his hair a bit more to just a lil past his ears.
Other things about Claggor in this AU is that he uses the fact that he's also a lot more quiet to his advantage. He takes the whole children should be seen and not heard literally. His footsteps are soft almost like a cat's and he doesn't heavily breath.
Often sneaking up on people who owe money to Silco. It's pretty terrifying in concept you could be sitting in your home pouring some tea then suddenly there is this huge guy behind you asking you where the money you owe is. He'll take very softly to announce his presence too.
Is it to be scary or to be less intimidating who knows 😭
As an adult he's very intimidating to look at because he's always calm and doesn't carry a lot of expressions on his face like he used to as a child. He often looks very stoic and cold looking and his gazes appears more calculating. Living under a silco he often just repressed his emotions. Only outlets for his feelings were the violent altercations he often ended up in going on errands. Or well anytime he goes to the brothels to let his feelings out in other intense ways.
In this AU I imagine he's bi and a bottom..
The greatest release is being vulnerable and taken care of don't @ me
Also yeah alot of his conflicts are external feeling like he's weak for basically joining Silco. Which btw I haven't mentioned it was because Jinx begged Silco to save him. It wasn't an act of kindness for him per say he could have saved Mylo but Powder didn't ask him to so....yeah.
Anyway imagine working for your dad's enemy and out of spite to that guy you physically mold yourself and your father's physical image as a petty reminder....and you have to stare into the mirror and face your old man feeling like a failure for not being strong enough to rebel.
Ooh that will mess you up soon badly it is no wonder he has a slight problem with relying on other outlets....
