Biography[]
Attacking Claudia[]
Bruce tracked Claudia down to a college campus, where he offered her a ride on his bike and into the woods, where they burned the remains of their victim. Getting to know each other better, Bruce revealed that he used to work for Henry Ford in Detroit until they were sent to Copenhagen, where he met his maker, a strange European, while walking the harbor one evening. From there, he faked his death and was shipped back home in a coffin. He got to hear his own funeral, but only a couple dozen people showed up. Bruce then asked Claudia about Louis, who he could hear calling out Claudia's name every night. When the man formally introduced himself as Bruce, Claudia laughed, remarking that he didn't look like a Bruce. In turn, he handed her one of his books, specifically a book on etiquette. Bruce then revealed that he'd been following her since about five or six colleges ago. Placing his arm around Claudia, he asked how old she was, to which she replied 104 years old. As Bruce became a bit too comfortable, Claudia pushed away and moved to the other side of the fire, only for him to follow her and break her leg, explaining that he didn't want her to run away.[1]
Bruce is not seen in Season 2, only mentioned in Episode 3, “No Pain”. It is in this episode that Claudia goes into more detail about her initial encounter with him. She states that, after her leg was broken, he abducted her, keeping her under an undisclosed location’s floorboards for a week and repeatedly sexually assaulting her. After he grew tired of her “gloomy face” and rode off on his motorbike, leaving her to fend for herself, she hadn’t seen or heard from him since. Despite having been years since the attack, Claudia admits to Louis that she is still traumatized from the incident.
