overall history • Ezra was born into one of the most known families in Grasse, France. A wealthy family thanks to old money, passed down from generation to generation with the help of the family business - one of the oldest perfume manufacturers in the country. His future had been planned out before he had even been born. Something that hadn't been planned was his twin sister Madeleine, who arrived five minutes later, to the shock of their parents. From the moment his parents had found out they were expecting, they were convinced they were having a boy, an heir and a daughter hadn't been on the cards. Their parents weren't overjoyed at the prospect of two children but they weren't disappointed either. It wasn't like their parents where actually going to be the one raising them anyway, that's what nannies were for.

Growing up, ezra was a kind and caring boy. he doted on his sister and took on a protective role straight away. During his childhood, his parents dipped in and out, spending time with their children when they could whilst leaving their care in the hands of a nanny called Amélie. The twins loved her, probably more than they loved their parents since she was the only constant thing in their life. Until she wasn't. As soon as the twins hit eighteen, their parents decided she was no longer needed. Ezra was sent to university to study business, in order to gain the knowledge he'd need to take over from his father. When he found out his sister wouldn't be going, he refused to go unless she got the same opportunity. His parents caved and the pair went to a university in Cannes where they found the Du Clermont name opened many doors. Ezra spent the next few years falling into the rich crowd, living the high life spending money and partying up and down the french riviera.

that all came to an stop when he ended up in a car with one of his best friends drunk behind the wheel. his friend crashed the car and they were lucky to have survived. after a few weeks in hospital for a few broken ribs and some internal damage and facing the wrath of his parents and sister, he knew his partying days needed to end. he knuckled down and finished university before taking his place in the family business, learning the ropes from his father, however he came to the conclusion, the business wasn't something he was interested in but the people pleaser in him pressured him to stay.

his life took a slight detour at twenty five when he walked in on his sister's fiance - a good friend, trying to force himself on her. shock, disgust, betrayal and anger flooded through him as he charged over, pulling him away before his fists went flying. he got in a few good punches before Henri got the upper-hand, returning the punches with his own. Ezra was losing until Henri dropped to the floor with a thud after Maddie smacked him with the bedside lamp. unfortunately the asshole was still breathing and an ambulance had to be called, which also brought the police. At first Ezra took the blame, confessing to instigating a fight - not wanting his sister to have to go through the ordeal of a trial but she couldn't let Henri get away with what he'd tried to do. His parents hired the best lawyers but he was still facing jail time for assault, ending up with a six month sentence.

During his short stint in jail, he had time to think about what he wanted to do with his life, realising he wasn't ready to follow in his dads footsteps, if ever. once he was out of prison, he decided to work for himself, investing in property and flipping houses with his sister, putting her interior design skills to good use, to their parents disappointment. They travelled all over europe, building up their own wealth, removing themselves from the toxicity of their parents. The pair recently ended up in Hickstead after flipping houses around the UK.
