Oh! Here's the guy I was telling you about! Alright, listen. This guy ain’t Italian and he’s no mechanic but he can get things fixed.
~ Joey Leone introducing Claude to Toni Cipriani

Claude is the main protagonist of Grand Theft Auto III, as well as a minor antagonist in Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas. Very little is specifically known about Claude's past and his personality, as Claude himself doesn't speak at all in any of the games and never reveals any details about himself.

His grunts and pain sounds are provided by Hunter Platin.

His Evil Ranking[]

Debatable Validations[]

  • It's left unclear if he cared for Maria Latore or not and it's unknown if he killed her in the final cutscene of the game as it was left ambiguous.

His Villainous Deeds[]

  • In the introduction, he was seen robbing a bank alongside Catalina, Miguel, and other members of the Colombian Cartel.
  • He’s a cold blooded killer who will kill anyone for money or as a means of getting back at Catalina.
  • He helped Marty Chonks turn people into dog food.
  • He agreed to kill Kenji Kasen on behalf of Donald Love, the former of whom was much more helpful towards him within the storyline. This was probably because it involved disrupting the Colombian Cartel, which was led by Catalina.
  • Much like any other GTA protagonist, he is capable of driving recklessly, gunning people down, beating people up, and carjacking people in free roam.

Why He Doesn’t Stand Out?[]

  • He fails the GTA heinous standards as his actions are very common for a Grand Theft Auto protagonist. Unlike Toni, he doesn't stand out altogether due to Claude having nonexistent backstory about his past life as to how he became a criminal in the first place, besides Catalina betraying him.
  • Most of his past employers that he killed betrayed him in some way. For example, Salvatore Leone tried to lure him into a car that was rigged with a bomb, leaving Claude with no choice but to assassinate him afterwards. This makes him a bit sympathetic.
  • Catalina’s betrayal of him makes him a scapegoat and is one of his main motivations to get revenge on her.
  • He is capable of forming friendships with those who treat him with respect and a level of understanding, such as 8-Ball, Asuka, and Ray.
