Claudia Horne

Claudia Horne was a character in QIA. She was a member of The Circle, of which she ultimately became its (brief) leader.
==Biography==
=== Early Life ===
Claudia was the daughter of Arvin Costlemach ("Lorenzo"). Her mother died during The Great Cataclysm, a fact that Costlemach would forever lament. ("Circle")
=== Carlos Sánchez ===
Under direct instruction of Costlemach, Claudia and Rian Brady abducted Noah Cunnington, the newborn son of Sarah Cunnington, in September 2020. She took him back to 1999 where she left him on the steps of a hospital in Barcelona. Eight years later, she returned to his life in 2007 claiming to be his aunt; he had lived his life so far under the name of Lorenzo Martinez in an orphanage. Claudia took him to Sant Feliu de Llobregat but then confessed that she was not related to him, and that he had been abducted from the year 2020 by Fran Grenouille. In the following years, she and Costlemach groomed Lorenzo - now calling himself Carlos - with a single mission in mind: the death of Fran's true self, a woman named Sarah Cunnington. ("Lorenzo")
In 2023, after Carlos had joined the London Field Team (thanks to Costlemach's manipulation), Claudia was acting as Carlos' handler ("Zoey"), though he also considered her to be like his adoptive mother ("¥o¬ Cø~1").
After a series of Carlos' failures to perform his purpose, Claudia later gave Carlos an ultimatum - either he kill Sarah, or she would kill him. ("Power")
=== The Circle coup ===
Meanwhile, having grown increasingly frustrated and disillusioned with her father's leadership and failures, Claudia - with help from Rian Brady - led a coup against Costlemach, and was ultimately successful. However, just two days later, partly as a consequence of her inexperience in leadership, The Circle fell, as did its secret base of operations, The Tower. Shortly afterwards, following a brief reconciliation with Costlemach, Claudia was murdered in front of her father by Fran. ("Circle")
