## Becoming a Hybrid

After being subdued by Thomas and showing he was immune to a Vampire's charm, Thomas bit and turned Claude into a Hybrid in the hopes of being able to "convince" Claude to tell him the information they needed. Claude proved to be resistant to this as well, as his bond with his family was stronger than the supernatural one he now had with Thomas.

## Personality

Claude was far more sadistic than his younger brother, Conway, and proved to be significantly worse than anything Conway could have done. Claude took joy in tormenting his younger brother, and even aided their father in the attempted killing of Conway when the latter was a child, at six years old. Claude is a manipulative person, never caring about anyone outside his family. However, it did seem he had somewhat of a heart, as he did start to date Jessica, and it seemed genuine, though it could've simply been a way to just gain a new family member, as the moment Jessica gave birth to their child, he showed his true colors. But at the same time, in his own, morbid way, Claude still seemed to care, claiming that he'd let Jessica see their child after five years, when Tracey made her first kill. He is also very arrogant, as when Louis came to his families den, despite the former being a very powerful Witch, he still threatened and even tried to fight Louis. He can also hold grudges, as ten years after Louis took Tracey back from him, he seemed to focus most of his aggression on Louis.

When he came to Morgel, he murdered a woman by the name Edith Elmer for seemingly no reason, and even hid his kill. Though when it was discovered, he glorified his kill. He was openly hostile to Conway and member of his pack. Claude seemed to hold family above all, or at least, "true family", as when Conway ran away at the age of seven, Claude disowned him. This became evident when Claude was turned into a Hybrid, and instead of being loyal to Thomas right away, he retained his loyalty to his actual family, which ultimately resulted in his death.
