Claude (Grand Theft Auto)

Claude is the stoic protagonist and anti-hero of the hit game Grand Theft Auto III and has made appearances in Grand Theft Auto San Andreas. His name wasn't revealed until the end of San Andreas and apparantly possesses the inability to speak.

In 1992, he owned a run down garage in San Fierro and started a relationship with a notorious bank robber named Catalina after she broke up with Carl Johnson. He lost to Carl in a street race and, needing the car to travel to Liberty City, instead gives him the deed to his garage.

In the years between the events of Grand Theft Auto San Andreas and Grand Theft Auto 3, Catalina becomes affiliated with a Columbian Cartel and Claude does jobs for them.

In 2001, Claude is betrayed by his girlfriend Catalina during a bank robbery and he is shot, injured and arrested. He escapes from a prison vehicle thanks to Cartel members kidnapping one prisoner whom Claude later rescues. He then starts to work for local figureheads in the criminal underworld of Liberty City, at the same time seeking for an opportunity to find Catalina and exact revenge.

Claude finally confronts Catalina and kills her during a shootout. It is unknown if he killed Maria Latore while the credits roll.
