Claude's case file (file: C024; password: CRnop07in) at primatechpaper.com contains Claude's personal history:
[Paragraph Omitted: Classified]
Using the identity "Claude Rains," the agent began working with the Company in the mid-1980s. Trained by Ivan Spektor, Rains was initially paired with Agent Haran, but Haran retired due to mental instability after a psychologically traumatic case involving Rollo Fusor. Shortly after, Rains was paired with rookie Company agent Noah Bennet in 1991. The two remained partners for eight years.
Rains' growing disdain for Company protocols and systemic unwillingness to follow orders -- ultimately including a refusal to conduct operations against people with abilities -- resulted in a termination order, assigned to Agent Bennet after the Company confirmed evidence that Rains was harboring a special (subject's identity remains unknown). Rains was severely wounded during the termination attempt but escaped.
[Paragraph Omitted: Classified]
Most recently, unconfirmed reports from civilian interviews place Claude in London, England. The subject is generally aversive to violence and human contact, but agents are advised to report all unscheduled contacts.
The case file also contains a psychological history:
Rains' defining psychological characteristic is a chronic avoidant personality disorder, exhibited by a pervasive distaste for human contact and antisocial behaviors when contact is initiated without his consent.
The apparent absence of typical accompanying anxiety disorders, as well as documentation of subject's comparative openness toward a number of people with abilities, suggests that Rains' disorder stems from or has been exacerbated by long-term, systemic repression of negative feelings toward his primary social group: namely, the Company.
[Paragraph: Classified]
While these circumstances made the subject receptive to the Company's recruitment process, they also left him highly susceptible to excessive empathy with Company targets, resulting in cognitive dissonance, repression, and eventually, reconciliation through rejection of his Company identity. The long-term psychological effects on the subject are not known and should be considered an analysis priority if he is placed in custody.
Evolved Human Abilities
Claude has the ability to become invisible, and has been living with the power for at least 15 years. He uses the power to his advantage, stealing from others. Upon contact, Claude's ability allows him to extend his invisibility to other objects. For instance, the pole he uses to hit Peter turns invisible upon contact. It also seems that he can see other invisible people, and vice-versa. (Unexpected)
According to his assignment tracker file at primatechpaper.com, Claude's control index is 90%. His data analysis shows his biological level at 40, cerebral at 30, elemental at 25, and temporal/spatial at 75.
