Claude in [[1992]] had emerged as a top contender in an illegal racing ring and owned an abandoned [[Doherty Garage|garage]] in [[Doherty]], [[San Fierro]]. He became involved with [[Catalina]], who had recently split up with [[Carl Johnson|Carl "CJ" Johnson]], before [[Farewell, My Love...|racing]] CJ in a losing effort. Following the loss, he hands over his garage to Johnson, before leaving San Andreas with Catalina. The two head to [[Liberty City in GTA III Era|Liberty City]], where Catalina allies herself with the Colombian Cartel. Afterwards, they depart to engage in a series of robberies across the USA.

Claude is a laid-back man that appears almost emotionless regardless of the situation. Provided he is paid for his services, he will take orders from his bosses without restraint and usually gives a nod or two to show that he understands; even when he is getting scolded or shouted at by his bosses for doing something wrong. He also bows down to his bosses if required (as in [[Kenji Kasen|Kenji Kasen's]] case when Kenji bows down to Claude). He never speaks, and will only make a slight grunt when he is hurt, or an "Oh!" whenever he is [[Wasted|killed]]. | Claude is a laid-back man that appears almost emotionless regardless of the situation.

*Claude does not speak in either of his appearances, remaining silent, and is the only [[protagonist]] in the [[GTA III Era]] to do so.
