Claude (Grand Theft Auto 3)

Claude is a character in the Grand Theft Auto series who appears as the protagonist of Grand Theft Auto 3.

Background
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.

Personality
Claude is an extremely rude character and apparently has no regret of the crimes he accomplishes. He will work for anyone who will give him the needed money and will be ready to fight even the Army to pursue his goals. He also worked for various gangs at the same time, angering all of them but in the end he managed to kill all of their leaders. He is known to have used drugs and cigars and knows how to use a variety of weapons, from simple pistols to even rocket launchers.
