Well the only other person who can post right now is [@Kazemitsu] I'm not sure he can do much other than talk back to Claudius who is already kind of been put in his place by lack of a proper leader. While it may show later on Claudius needs a leader above him to function properly. His bravado comes with a need to prove himself to his liege. Without a king he may as well be a soldier without a weapon.
