Background
Claus (pronunciation: klaos; Japanese: クラウス; Klaus in the North American version of Super Smash Bros. Brawl) is a major character in MOTHER 3. He is a boy from Tazmily Village. Claus is energetic and far more courageous than Lucas. He is last seen by the player lying motionless near the Drago Plateau, although the residents of Tazmily are never made aware of this.
The Masked Man is the secondary antagonist of MOTHER 3; a mysterious character who debuts during the final scene of the fifth chapter. He is the only other person besides Lucas capable of removing the seven Needles. He attacks with lightning, a sword, an arm cannon and PK Love. Additionally, he has the ability to destroy PSI Shields and use mechanical wings to fly away. He also has a lightning attack that is able to instantly render Lucas's entire party unconscious, meaning that only himself and Lucas (because of the Courage Badge that was revealed to be a Franklin Badge) remain in the battle. The attack is unavoidable.
The Masked Man works for Porky Minch, the Pig King, as what he refers to as his "adorable little monster," and never says a word in the story onscreen. A Pigmask states to Lucas (who thought he was the Masked Man since he answered his phone) that he sounded "kind of cheery", possibly signalling that the Masked Man can, in fact, talk, though in an emotionless tone. The Masked Man is the final boss of MOTHER 3, rather than Porky Minch himself. Because of this, Porky has been the penultimate boss in both games he has appeared in.
The Masked Man is in reality, Claus, who was apparently discovered near the Drago Plateau by the Pigmask Army. He was brought back to consciousness and turned into a human chimera. It is unknown whether or not he was dead when found, though the implications point more toward being dead, as the Magypsies sensed no heart in him, and it's also impossible to hear his heartbeat in battle. During this time, Porky used him as a loyal servant and gave to him near full command of the Pigmask Army. While under the control of Porky, Claus's sense of self and memories had been forgotten and pushed deep inside of him.
At the end of the final battle with the Masked Man, after realizing his true identity and revealing himself as Claus, he fires an intense bolt of lightning at Lucas, purposely reflecting it off of Lucas's Franklin Badge, causing himself mortal damage and ultimately killing himself.

Superhuman Physical Characteristics, Genius Intelligence, Supernatural Willpower (Was able to break free of Porky's control upon being reminded of his true identity), Cyborgization (Partial), Weapon Mastery (Sword & Firearm Mastery; Skilled with energy sword and arm-cannon), Regeneration (Mid-Low; Should be comparable to the playable characters), Accelerated Development (Battle; Physical Stats & Abilities; Claus can grow from battle just like Lucas and co., as shown during the beginning of the game), Non-Standard Interaction (Soul Interaction; Should be able to interact with ghost based enemies like Lucas can), Power Nullification (Can break shields and forcefields regardless if they were barriers for physical or psychic attacks via the Shield Killer), Flight (With mechanical wings), Explosion Manipulation (Carries bombs with him), Observation (Unconscious Manifestation; Comparable to Ninten who through ignoring the Forgotten Man, Ninten makes him disappear, it is noted by a resident of Magicant that he was once well known but everyone forgot him), Has the potential for: Subjective Reality, Creation, Illusion Creation (Standard Illusions), & Mind Manipulation (Magicant is a universe created entirely from the users own memories[3]. It exists only within the mind of the user and is shaped entirely by their thoughts and desires. Magicant World's are shaped from the users perspective. Maria for example warped her own world to fit her views as a Queen. Ness's Magicant was shaped almost like a Town with stars and planets in the background. Along with that, users of Magicant can create weapons, equipments, healing items, and inhabitants that represent a certain side to their mind (A strong example would be the Flying Men which represents the users own courage). Some inhabitants act as enemies that will attack or serve as either a memory of the users own experience or simple civilians. It's unknown if there is a Sea of Eden in other variations of Magicant, however it is stated by Talah Rama that the Truth makes itself known to humanity with Magicant. Magicant only disappears once the goal of the user has been met. To provide some insight, Maria's goal was to recover from amnesia and remember the melody she sung to Giygas, and Ness's goal was to awaken his full potential by touching the Universal System. The journey has to be a momentous part of the person's life that culminates in an event that causes them to look inward and triggers the ability to access their magicant).

The ability seems to be universal to all PSI users as their consciousness no matter their age is fully aware and can speak with people), Limited Power Bestowal (PSI users can give PSI abilities to other PSI users, such as when an infant used their mind to give Ninten PSI Teleport, or when the Chosen Four taught a monkey how to use PSI Teleport).
