Claudia Redmark (MLU)

Claudia Charlotte Redmark was a mentioned character in "MLU".
She is Marcus Redmark's youngest sister, born around three decades after him. She was also the only one in the Redmark family who tried to make him see the errors in his ways and become a better person. 
Marcus himself considered his sister to be his closest ally, feeling that she truly understands him, unlike everybody else. Claudia herself did not hate her brother for becoming a villain, seeing the rise of the Empire as a decent future for her and her young son.
Claudia is the sister of Marcus Redmark and the mother of his nephew (and eventual successor)- Rufus Redmark.
== Personality ==
According to her own son and Aurelia, Claudia was a very sweet woman. She despised war and wanted nothing to do with those who caused chaos around the world, often chastising the violent members of her family for disrupting the delicate balance between Order and Chaos.
Claudia is known to be a forgiving person. Despite the fact that she does not approve of her elder brother's actions, she still loves him very much and wants the best for him. She is also very passionate, supporting him when he wants to make reforms that benefit the commoners of the Empire and make his lands a safer place.
Marcus himself has never heard his sister yell at him or call him pathetic and worthless, giving him the idea that the youngest child in the Redmark family is the most pure and kindhearted. When one of his most trusted men made love with her without her brother's consent, Marcus beat him up and kicked him out, angry that he would dare to kiss his sister. Even though Claudia told him that she truly loves the man, he never allowed him to come back to the capital. 
Marcus was also the first one to find out that Claudia became pregnant after her forced affair. Although shocked at first, he soon became very supportive of her and the child that she was carrying, much to the amazement of his young sister. He took care of his nephew and taught him how to be a strong person, taking off most of the weight from his sister's shoulders.
Even though Claudia mourned her brother after he was murdered by Geralt Kaos and his allies, she was not angry at them. She did not seek revenge and forgave them, knowing that they did this only to protect the rest of the world from her daemonic brother. After getting to know them better, she even became good friends with Geralt's future wife- Aurelia- advising her on complicated subjects like motherhood, freedom and heroism- definitions that were alien to the young Aurelia.
After Silverdale was attacked by the forces of Alric of Neotline, Claudia remained close to the Kaos family and assisted them in escaping from the besieged city. While trying to fight back against the conqueror and his cult of deranged madmen, she was accidentally hurt by Aurelia- her good friend. However, she did not feel mad at her, instead urging her to find her son and protect him from the vengeful enemies of the Empire- something that Aurelia tried to do, but failed to accomplish.
== Death ==
=== Killed By ===
* Alric (Indirectly Caused, Alive)
After the defeat of Redmark and his allies, Alric of Neotline saw the world in a state of weakness. Deciding to take down the world's heroes at the new capital, he sent some of his strongest forces to break down the city of Silverdale, in the hopes that he will dislodge the exhausted saviors while they are still celebrating.
This event alone is what caused Claudia's demise later on.
* Dargor (Caused, Alive)
While fending back Alric and his forces, Claudia engaged in a fierce battle with Dargor- Alric's right-hand man- despite the fact that she is a gentle and peaceful lady. She did her best to fight him, even achieving some success in the end.
However, the effort causes her to lower her own defenses, nearly collapsing from exhaustion. This allows Dargor to stab Claudia in the shoulder, using the magic in his weapon to weaken her and, eventually, cause her untimely demise.
* Aurelia Kaos (Accidental, Alive)
Enraged by the fact that her dear friend was wounded, Aurelia throws Dargor off-guard and viciously strikes him, using all of her remaining strength to punish the creature who dared to harm Claudia and make fun of her unfortunate heritage.
Unfortunately, the weakened Claudia is unable to stand on her feet for much longer. She soon trips and falls forward, unable to keep her composure. At that exact moment, Aurelia is about to deal a fatal blow to Dargor, 
When Aurelia looks at the damage that she has done, she realizes that she stabbed Claudia in the chest instead of him. As Dargor leaps away from the group, Aurelia takes Claudia in her arms, desperately attempting to seal her wound.
Sadly, the blow that she inflicted was made by a magical weapon. Claudia's heart was pierced, and thus, she is unable to seal what cannot be sealed. Seeing the severity of the situation, Claudia urges her friend to find her son and make sure that Alric and the rest of the Empire's enemies do not harm him. 
Then, she perishes in her friend's arms, dying of massive blood loss and shock.
After Aurelia rushes to find the boy, Geralt attempts to put the recently deceased Claudia down, knowing how much she meant to his wife. However, he cannot bring himself to do it, noting that she was also a friend of his. Regretfully, he leaves Claudia behind, allowing her to reanimate.
* Rufus Redmark (Undead)
When Rufus grows up, he looks for his deceased mother, unable to bear the fact that she is still out there. When he finally discovers her reanimated corpse, he is shocked and heartbroken, realizing that the rumors about his mother being a wicked creature of the dark are true.
Claudia, no longer remembering her own child, starts to shamble toward him. Rufus attempts to flee, but she keeps following him. With no other choice, the young boy raises his gun and fires two bullets. The first one strikes her in the cheek and the next one pierces her temple, putting her down.
