Character history
Godsend
Peter sees a bearded man in his recurring visions. Later, while walking down a New York City street, he sees the same man nonchalantly picking through the property of others. Peter follows the man and yells to him. The thief is shocked to be seen; he grabs Peter and the two tussle.
Powers
Claude has the ability to become invisible, and has been living with the power for years. He uses the power to his advantage, stealing from others. It is not clear, but it seems that Claude has the ability to make other objects invisible (since he can pick up wallets, phones, etc.. without other people noticing he is looking through their wallet, right in front of them). (Godsend)
Notes
- In an interview with TV Guide, Tim Kring stated that this character would become a mentor to Peter Petrelli.
- Based on the December promo, it would appear that Peter is the first person that Claude has met that was able to see him while he used his invisbility power. This suggests that invisible heroes may be able to see each other as part of the ability, much the same way that Hiro & Peter were able to talk while time was stopped on the subway in Hiros. This also suggests that the abilities of most of our heroes are new, as Claude appears surprised to meet someone else with an extraordinary ability (even though he's had his invisibility power for some time).
