What's really curious about Anderson Vanderbilt is his relationship with his brother.

Read under "Acquisition"
Not exactly the antagonist in the story, but more a main supporting character of the protagonist, Sauske Uchiha, murders his brother to consume his abilities. This was after his brother "slaughtered his family" to earn his powers.
Sauske then follows a big antagonist throught a large portion of the story, a character embodying a snake, who's goal is to use Sauske and eventually steal his powers. Sauske both mimics and loyally follows his "handler" throughout a large portion of his progression as a character.
Is this what happened to Anderson Cooper's brother (obviously not literally all the same stuff, but is that the general idea?)?
