Number Four, haunted and self-medicating · The Umbrella Academy

Klaus Hargreeves (Number Four, haunted and self-medicating) is a character in The Umbrella Academy, part of The Umbrella Academy. Klaus Hargreeves — Number Four, the Séance — sees the dead, which is precisely why he is never sober: the drugs are soundproofing. The family disaster in eyeliner and someone else's coat, Klaus pawns Dad's treasures, crashes the funeral high, and carries on running dialogues with a ghost only he can see — his dead brother Ben, the family's posthumous conscience. Underneath the cabaret is the show's saddest power: a childhood locked in mausoleums by a father curing fear with exposure.
