Claude Rains

Character Information
Character Name: Claude Rains Age: 42 Occupation: Former Company agent Known Relatives: Unknown Significant Other: None Current Location: New York City, New York Affiliation: Neutral Known Ability: Invisibility Biography: Claude was born in Blackpool, England on February 2nd 1964. He lived in a fairly poor industrial town, though after his ability manifested he did little else than to travel around the world. Being invisible meant that there were no barriers to what Claude could do, and he enjoyed this new-found freedom in his teenage years.

In the 1980's he was taken by the company and offered the usual choice: imprisonment or work with them. He was trained by one Ivan Spektor and paired with an agent for many years. In 1991 he was introduced to Noah Bennet and then made his partner. The two worked together for eight years, until one fateful day when Bennet was told to investigate and sort out a Company security breach. Claude had become increasingly stubborn against the Company policies and actions and it was revealed that he had been protecting someone with abilities so that the company did not find them. Consequently Bennet shot him and it was believed he was dead.

This is, of course, not the case. He is currently living in New York, and has been watching over the sick Charles Deveaux from time to time when no one else is around. The Deveaux building holds particular significance to Claude and his life, as it's the last place that anyone would expect him to be. No one in the company has ever detected that he is still alive, though some of them are known to have their suspicions. In this time alone he has developed a serious dislike of company, interaction with anyone and even has displayed increasingly anti-social behaviour. He thieves anything that he needs and never has much need for owning anything. Character Journal: vanishes Played By: Clare
