			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]].

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.

However, if GTA 2 is actually set in 1999 as some in-game references may indicate, then Claude would be 20-22 in GTA San Andreas, and 29-31 in GTA III.
