'''Claude''' is the playable [[protagonist]] of [[Grand Theft Auto III]]. Claude also appears in [[Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas]].


==GTA III==
'''Claude''' is a recurring character in the [[Grand Theft Auto]] series, appearing as the [[protagonist]] of [[Grand Theft Auto III]] (set in [[2001]]) and in a minor role in [[Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas]] (set in [[1992]]). There is no voice actor for Claude, as he does not speak in either of his appearances.


==Character History==
===Life until 2001===
Claude grew up in [[State of San Andreas|San Andreas]] and by [[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]], before [[Farewell, My Love...|racing]] Johnson in a losing effort. Following the loss, he hands over his garage to Johnson, before leaving San Andreas with Catalina. The two, heading towards [[Liberty City in GTA III Era|Liberty City]], go on a crime spree across the country, eventually reaching Liberty City in October [[2001]], nine years later.


===2001===
Claude and Catalina arrive in Liberty City in October 2001 and immediately rob a bank. Catalina, however, turns on her boyfriend, shooting him and leaving him for dead, explaining that he is 'small time'. Claude later arrested by the [[LCPD in GTA III Era|Liberty City Police Department]] and convicted on all charges, facing ten years in prison. Whilst being transferred to a police station in [[Portland View]], [[Give Me Liberty|escapes]] from a police convoy after the [[Colombian Cartel]] attack to free the [[Oriental Gentleman]]. Claude and [[8-Ball]] escape to a [[Portland Island Safehouse (GTA III)|safehouse]] in the [[Red Light District]], before moving on to [[Luigi's Sex Club 7]]. [[Luigi Goterelli]], the owner, gives Claude his first job in the city, to [[Luigi's Girls|drive]] [[Misty]] from the [[Sweeney General Hospital|hospital]] back to the club.


{{toc}}
Claude, successful in his errand, continues to be employed by Goterelli, who also has him kill a [[Don't Spank Ma Bitch Up|drug dealer]] and [[Pump-Action Pimp|two pimps]], before having him [[Drive Misty For Me|drive]] Misty to [[Joey Leone|Joey Leone's]] [[Joey's Garage|Garage]]. Claude then begins to work for Joey, killing both [[Mike Forelli]] and [[Lee Chong]], before [[Cipriani's Chauffeur|chauffering]] [[Toni Cipriani]], later working for him against the [[Liberty City Triads|Triads]]. Claude, impressing the [[Leone Family]] hierarchy, is [[Salvatore's Called A Meeting|introduced]] to the [[Boss|Don]], [[Salvatore Leone]]. Salvatore, 'seeing nothing but bright things' for Claude, has him [[Cutting The Grass|kill]] [[Curly Bob]] (who was selling secrets to the Colombian Cartel, now led by Catalina) and later [[Bomb Da Base Act II|destroy]] a freighter used as a factory for the drug [[SPANK]]. During this time, Claude also works for [[El Burro]], the leader of the [[Diablos]], helping him on various tasks, and [[Marty Chonks]] in his attempts to get out of his various problems.
Claude's role as the protagonist of GTA III begins with him being en-route to prison in [[Liberty City in GTA III Era|Liberty City]] after a bank heist in which he was shot and left for dead by his then girlfriend and accomplice [[Catalina]]; when the prison convoy is ambushed by the [[Colombian Cartel]] by blowing up the [[Callahan Bridge]]. He escapes with the help of [[8-Ball]], and works his way into the favour of the [[Leone Family]].
He eventually helps destroy a large tanker of [[SPANK]], a fictional drug that [[Catalina]] and her new accomplice [[Miguel]] are pushing around the city with the help of the Colombian Cartel. His help to the Leones at the beginning is rewarded with a death trap, from which he is saved by Don [[Salvatore Leone]]'s lover, [[Maria Latore|Maria]]. She introduces him to [[Asuka Kasen]], who is with the local [[Yakuza]].  


After destroying the Cartel freighter, a paranoid Salvatore [[Last Requests|attempts to kill]] Claude by having him enter a bomb laden car. Salvatore's wife [[Maria Latore|Maria]], however, phones Claude and directs him to a small pier where the two meet [[Asuka Kasen]], co-leader of the [[Yakuza]], and flee to [[Staunton Island]] after Maria had told her husband that she was dating Claude. Asuka, unconvinced of Claude's loyalty, has him [[Sayonara Salvatore|kill]] Salvatore Leone to prove himself, before having him kill a number of other people causing her problems. She later introduces him to her brother [[Kenji Kasen|Kenji]] and [[Ray Machowski]], a corrupt police man working for the Yakuza. Claude helps Kenji with his problems, including settling debts and freeing a [[Kanbu|man]] from prison, and helps Machowski in his attempts to remain unnoticed, eventually helping him [[Marked Man|flee]] the city by the [[Francis International Airport|airport]].


Claude continues to look for work and finds employment with [[King Courtney]], who has him [[Uzi Rider|attack]] the Diablos before [[Kingdom Come|attempting to kill]] him on orders from Catalina, and [[Donald Love]], who has him [[Waka-Gashira Wipeout|kill]] Kenji Kasen disguised as a Colombian Cartel gangster, to provoke a war. Asuka, unaware of Claude's role in her brothers death, launches an assault on a Cartel controlled building site and begins to torture [[Miguel]], Catalina's right hand man, into giving away Cartel secrets. Armed with the information, Asuka sends Claude on various missions to hurt Cartel operations, including [[Espresso-2-Go!|stopping the selling]] of and [[S.A.M.|stealing]] a shipment of SPANK.


[[Image:GTAIII_Claude.jpg|thumb|left|100px|Full body image of Claude]]
During this period Claude, briefly, finds employment with [[D-Ice]], leader of the Red Jacks sub-sect of the [[Southside Hoods]], and attacks the rival [[Purple Nines]] into [[Rumble|defeat]]. After this, Claude [[Ransom (GTA III)|returns]] to the building site and finds both Asuka and Miguel dead, whilst a ransom note for Maria is left for him. Claude goes to the Cartel mansion, [[The Exchange (mission)|escapes an ambush, destroys a helicopter piloted by Catalina (killing her) and rescues Maria]]. Claude, at the end of [[Grand Theft Auto III]], may have killed Maria as he fires a shot whilst she is talking, although he may have fired off the shot to stop her talking.
 
To prove that Claude has completely severed ties with the Leones in favor of the [[Yakuza]], Asuka allows him to kill Salvatore. Following the assassination, Claude works his way up the Yakuza ladder, gaining the favor of the Yakuza waka-gashira [[Kenji Kasen]]. He also meets a crooked cop named [[Ray Machowski|Ray]], and media millionaire [[Donald Love]]. He is eventually asked to kill Kenji by Donald, and to frame the Colombian Cartel for the job, by driving a Cartel gang car.
 
With Kenji dead, Asuka takes over the Yakuza, and becomes obsessed with revenge against the Cartel. She sends Claude on a number of missions to slow down the spread of SPANK in Liberty City. Eventually, Asuka is killed, and Maria is kidnapped, with a note from Catalina left behind. Claude confronts her, kills her after a lengthy battle, and saves Maria, However, when the screen portraying Claude and Maria walking away fades to black Maria is still heard talking, until a gunshot is heard.
 
==GTA San Andreas==
 
 
 
 
 
[[Image:GTASA_Claude.jpg|thumb|right|Claude, as seen during his brief appearance in ''[[Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas]]'']]
 
Claude also makes an appearance in GTA San Andreas, which is set in 1992 (before the events of GTA III), as a non-playable character. He races against protagonist [[Carl Johnson]], whilst "fully pleasuring" [[Catalina]], and loses. After the race, Catalina informs Carl Johnson that the two of them need to keep their car to go to [[Liberty City in GTA III Era|Liberty City]], and instead of a pink slip, give him the deed to a run-down car garage in [[San Fierro]].
After leaving for Liberty City, Catalina phones Carl Johnson at certain plot points, much to his surprise. One phone call seemingly indicates Catalina was intending to speak to Claude, mentioning Claude's first name and how well endowed he is; another has Catalina in mid-orgasm, screaming the same first name, but all of Catalina's calls were made to try to make CJ jealous.
After leaving San Andreas, Claude and Catalina took part in a long string of crimes in several states without being caught for apparently 9 years. This ends in October 2001, when Catalina betrays Claude by shooting him shortly after a bank heist in Liberty City and leaves him for dead. This is the start of GTA III, when Claude is en-route to prison.
 
==Silence==
 
 
 
In contrast to the verbose protagonists of the later GTA games, Claude never speaks in GTA III, although he can be heard grunting in pain when hurt. During the course of the game, Maria makes a telephone call to [[Lazlow]]'s show on [[Chatterbox FM]], saying that she's met a new man but "he don't talk too much." Claude continued to be a silent character throughout GTA San Andreas; Carl Johnson himself also references (and curses) Claude's silence in his rage after seeing the run-down garage he won from Claude in a drag race. He is probably silent due to the fact he is a "Handyman" for various people, and prefers to get things done rather than talk about it.

This article is about the protagonist of GTA III. For the GTA 2 protagonist, see Claude Speed. For other characters, see Claude Maginot or Claude Wome.

Claude is a recurring character in the Grand Theft Auto series, appearing as the protagonist of Grand Theft Auto III (set in 2001) and in a minor role in Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas (set in 1992). There is no voice actor for Claude, as he does not speak in either of his appearances.

Character History

Life until 2001

Claude grew up in San Andreas and by 1992 had emerged as a top contender in an illegal racing ring and owned an abandoned garage in Doherty, San Fierro. He became involved with Catalina, who had recently split up with Carl Johnson, before racing Johnson in a losing effort. Following the loss, he hands over his garage to Johnson, before leaving San Andreas with Catalina. The two, heading towards Liberty City, go on a crime spree across the country, eventually reaching Liberty City in October 2001, nine years later.

2001

Claude and Catalina arrive in Liberty City in October 2001 and immediately rob a bank. Catalina, however, turns on her boyfriend, shooting him and leaving him for dead, explaining that he is 'small time'. Claude later arrested by the Liberty City Police Department and convicted on all charges, facing ten years in prison. Whilst being transferred to a police station in Portland View, escapes from a police convoy after the Colombian Cartel attack to free the Oriental Gentleman. Claude and 8-Ball escape to a safehouse in the Red Light District, before moving on to Luigi's Sex Club 7. Luigi Goterelli, the owner, gives Claude his first job in the city, to drive Misty from the hospital back to the club.

Claude, successful in his errand, continues to be employed by Goterelli, who also has him kill a drug dealer and two pimps, before having him drive Misty to Joey Leone's Garage. Claude then begins to work for Joey, killing both Mike Forelli and Lee Chong, before chauffering Toni Cipriani, later working for him against the Triads. Claude, impressing the Leone Family hierarchy, is introduced to the Don, Salvatore Leone. Salvatore, 'seeing nothing but bright things' for Claude, has him kill Curly Bob (who was selling secrets to the Colombian Cartel, now led by Catalina) and later destroy a freighter used as a factory for the drug SPANK. During this time, Claude also works for El Burro, the leader of the Diablos, helping him on various tasks, and Marty Chonks in his attempts to get out of his various problems.

After destroying the Cartel freighter, a paranoid Salvatore attempts to kill Claude by having him enter a bomb laden car. Salvatore's wife Maria, however, phones Claude and directs him to a small pier where the two meet Asuka Kasen, co-leader of the Yakuza, and flee to Staunton Island after Maria had told her husband that she was dating Claude. Asuka, unconvinced of Claude's loyalty, has him kill Salvatore Leone to prove himself, before having him kill a number of other people causing her problems. She later introduces him to her brother Kenji and Ray Machowski, a corrupt police man working for the Yakuza. Claude helps Kenji with his problems, including settling debts and freeing a man from prison, and helps Machowski in his attempts to remain unnoticed, eventually helping him flee the city by the airport.

Claude continues to look for work and finds employment with King Courtney, who has him attack the Diablos before attempting to kill him on orders from Catalina, and Donald Love, who has him kill Kenji Kasen disguised as a Colombian Cartel gangster, to provoke a war. Asuka, unaware of Claude's role in her brothers death, launches an assault on a Cartel controlled building site and begins to torture Miguel, Catalina's right hand man, into giving away Cartel secrets. Armed with the information, Asuka sends Claude on various missions to hurt Cartel operations, including stopping the selling of and stealing a shipment of SPANK.

During this period Claude, briefly, finds employment with D-Ice, leader of the Red Jacks sub-sect of the Southside Hoods, and attacks the rival Purple Nines into defeat. After this, Claude returns to the building site and finds both Asuka and Miguel dead, whilst a ransom note for Maria is left for him. Claude goes to the Cartel mansion, escapes an ambush, destroys a helicopter piloted by Catalina (killing her) and rescues Maria. Claude, at the end of Grand Theft Auto III, may have killed Maria as he fires a shot whilst she is talking, although he may have fired off the shot to stop her talking.
