Firstly, this man is Greatest Dad in Eos™

he was super protective over Cor due to the fact that Cor was the youngest out of the group.

He also was the one who taught both Iris and Gladio how to ballroom dance. He started teaching Gladio when he was 13, and Iris when she was 9.

During their travels, Clarus was closest to Cor, it was a father-son bond between them for awhile. Clarus taught him how to fight, they would always train together and things like that. When Clarus had Gladio, Cor was there to congratulate him and tell him he’s an old man now. Even though they aren’t that far apart in age, Cor was also a little immature and reckless in his younger days.

He and Regis were like brothers, they knew each other the longest out of the five of them, and when Regis first fell in love with his wife Clarus was already engaged and so he was his wing man

When Gladiolus was born, Clarus was excited. A future shield is born! He was excited to teach Gladiolus the arts of combat, to pass his wisdom and teachings to his son. When he found out he was having a daughter though, he almost wept in joy. He was so ecstatic to have a daughter. He built all of the nursery stuff himself, he painted the walls. One of the chairs in the nursery was full of stuffed animals, ones of chocobos, moogles, cactuar. He absolutely spoiled her in her baby times.

Happy Birthday Ignis!
