## Appearance

Claude is (presumably) a middle-aged mutant with blue skin and slicked-back short white hair.
He appears to have a scarred right eyebrow, blue eyes with yellow pupils, pointy ears, a sharp right fang and a snake-like tail.
On his right eye, he has a black monocle with a yellow circle in the center, and a triangle at the end of the monocle string/wire.

In Emanon's murder scene flashback, where he was undercover as a cop, he appeared to be wearing a white button-up shirt, a gray suit jacket with two black garters on his arms and one on the collar. He also appeared to have three light gray stripes on the waist of his jacket, a black belt and black pants.

In official art, he has as well been shown wearing a dark grey turtleneck with a white zipper, and a dark gray button-up shirt with rolled up sleeves.

## Personality

Claude is a blunt and seemingly gloomy figure.
He is disinterested in Myers' beliefs and doesn't seem to care about authority as much as the other members. Because of this, he is very reluctant to do any actual work.  Furthermore, he sees his job as only his job, stating that he doesn't bother with the ethics of his occupation.

However, despite this, he still seems to care about others, often softening up and giving them advice. This was shown by his uncertainty of pinning Emanon's murder on Zalmona and his, although blunt at first, well-meaning advice to Vanora about thinking on her own instead of constantly following Myers' orders.

It was also mentioned that, despite his age, he still doesn't seem to know what he wants to do in life. Because of this, he advises others to think with their own head and find out what they truly want, to prevent them from following his path.

## Trivia

* It has been shown he is good at blending in, and may often wear convincing fake skins and hair during missions to not be recognized.
	+ It is not known whether this is an ability he has due to being a mutant, or if the disguises are provided by Myers.
	+ These disguises likely also make him unaffected by the cold.
* It was implied he used to have connections to the Voorhees Corporation, but he doesn't seem to work for them anymore, calling them stupid as well.
* His name is only known because of game files, in the game he has only been referred to as "Police Officer?" and has not been given an introduction like most other characters.
