It is likely that Claude Speed, and Claude are just different versions of the same character in two separate universes. So while technically being the same, it is just two separate scenarios that have no connection. GTA 2 is Claude Speed as he would be in a world where he's in the futuristic Anywhere City, and GTA III is Claude as he would be in a more realistic world in [[2001|present day]], [[Liberty City in GTA III Era|Liberty City]].

* Claude Speed is the only GTA protagonist to smoke cigarettes, besides [[Tommy Vercetti]] (although the latter can only be seen smoking through a certain cheat code). Additionally, he possesses an ability to burp or fart on command.
* Claude Speed, [[Michael De Santa]], and [[Trevor Philips]] are the only GTA protagonists to smoke cigarettes. Michael can smoke in his house, while Trevor can be seen smoking occasionally when switching to his character in [[Grand Theft Auto V]]. His two safe houses are also littered with cigarette butts.  
* At the end of the [[Grand Theft Auto 2|GTA 2]] movie, Claude is killed when he is shot 3 times by a [[Zaibatsu]] assassin as he tries to open a car. It is unknown if this is canonical to the game, however.
