> “Many think I’m tough on the outside, which is partly because there are people out there that are hard to trust, but once you get to know me, I care a lot about my friends and acquaintances. So good sir, in order for us to successfully work together, you have to treat me as an equal and I will do the same with you. My former employers did not do that so as a result, I will not work for them, as my trust needs to be *earned*.”

> “I have seen countless people die, my dear one. My father was one of them, slayed by an exorcist while trying to help his employer, who he deeply cared about. It happened shortly after my baby sister was born, and I medically transitioned. After he died, I cried for days.
> But I knew there was hope. That’s when I started Brimstone. Then my hope swelled after I gave birth to Valentina. The thing is, Callie, people can change. Even after death. There are gray areas. You and my family are living proof that no one is innately bad or good, but change is indeed possible.”

Claude is Hala’s partner, friend, and love interest, and was formerly employed to a very wealthy succubus family and was mentored by a Hellhound named Zion. They are now currently employed at a coffee shop in the human realm, where the staff knows about their Hellhound form, but has accepted this difference as normal. Several years in the future, him and Hala are the directors of Brimstone Elysiam Home for children and hounds. Before this, he gave birth to Valentina, their daughter.

## History

Claude lived a happy childhood with their mother and younger sister. At some point during those years, extreme pressure from several neighbors forced Claude to work under a very respectable but profit obsessed family. When Claude left to work for them, their mother tearfully promised to stay in touch with them.

Claude was assigned to the family because one of the girls “wanted her own Hellhound”. Claude’s time with the family was rough, due to the fact they never treated them like the sentient being they are, and intentionally thought they were supposed to be female, even though Claude is transmasculine. They only got through those times through the help of the family’s oldest child, along with their Hellhound Zion, who acted as a mentor to Claude. They told Aretha, the oldest daughter, and the only one who genuinely cared about them, that they wanted to run away, also revealing that they were trans. They got a therapist secretly, and didn’t follow through with running away until they were sure their secrets could be kept. They then medically transitioned after setting themself free. They then moved back in with their family and found out their mother had another daughter. Claude promised to protect her with all their strength and heart. Claude later re-established their friendship with Zion. He was a contributor to starting Brimstone.

## Personality

If they meet someone who is not a Hellhound or someone whom they deem suspicious, Claude can sometimes come off as slightly distant, but when meeting someone unfamiliar, they will often remain formal, but guarded, and can often be slightly strict when they need to be. When bonding with someone, Claude starts to open up slowly, revealing a softer, more casual side of themself, seen when they met Hala, Blitzø, Rasputin, and the others. When they fully get to know them, Claude can be friendly, playful, and often witty, but can also be warm and empathetic, seen when they comfort a sobbing Hala after she goes through an emotional burnout from all the responsibilities Blitzø placed on her of running I.M.P, and the fact that she did indeed meet her father, but he instead turned out to be very self-obsessed and wanted her back for his own personal gain. Claude can also be very loving and protective towards both his sisters, along with Hala, and the members of I.M.P, as he considers them the first true friends he’s had in a very long time. Despite his intimidating appearance, Claude is actually quite calm and gentle around those he cares about.

## Appearance

Claude is of medium height, and a slightly muscled build (5”9) with brown fur, lighter highlights, and chestnut brown fur, along with a white tuft on his chest and tail. His casual outfit consists of a black tank top and blue sweatpants. His alternate attire is a white T-shirt and loose black pants. His employee uniform is a black apron, red hat, and black pants. He doesn’t always wear shoes, because he doesn’t always see a need for them.

His human form has light brown skin, color inverted eyes, short wavy brown hair with a fade on the bottom and a small bit of facial hair lining his upper lip and part of his jaw. He has two necklaces. A star necklace, and a second smaller necklace with a heart in the middle. He wears two earrings on one ear, one dangles, and the other is a small ring-hoop.

Claude is known to own large amounts of hoodies.
