Claude Rains, one of my favorite characters from Season 1, was definitely a transparent figure you did not want to mess with. He made his first (chronological) appearance in Company Man, when he joined the Company and was Noah Bennet’s “one of them.” He then realized the Company’s evil motives and began helping the superpowered individuals. Bennet was ordered to kill Claude, and so he thought he did. However, in the episode Fallout, we saw different. He crossed paths with Peter Petrelli, and agreed to tutor him in order to avoid his apoctalyptic dream. Claude was a rough but straight teacher who mainly fathered his pidgeons on the roof of Issac Mendez’s loft. He used some extreme methods to teach Peter-beating him with a stick to get him to use levitation, throwing him off a roof to test flight/invincibility. However, Issac Mendez, formerly Peter’s friend, led Noah and his new partner, the Haitian, to Claude. They tryed to take him in, but Peter escaped with him. Angered by what he thought was Peter’s betrayal, he left Peter to “go boom.” Peter then went off for revenge, accidentally killing his girlfriend. We have still not heard from him.

Memorable Quotes-

“Me? I’m no one. I’m the Invisible Man. I’m Claude Rains. Now get away from me. Forget you ever saw me.”

- Claude (to Peter) (The Fix)

“There’s no such thing. No teaching. No Sunday school for the special. What I can do, you can’t learn. You wake up in the morning, it’s there. If you’ve got thin soup, then that’s your supper. Sorry, mate, that’s the way it is.”

- Peter, Claude (The Fix)

“I spend a lot of time moving around people’s homes, their bedrooms. You get to know people if you see them when they think they’re alone. You see them for what they truly are: selfish, deceitful, and gassy.”

“So what is that, your big truth about the world?”

“Sooner you learn it, sooner we get that collar off your neck. People suck, friend. Every last one of them. Never forget that.”

- Claude, Peter (Distractions)

“So what do we do now?”

“Hey! We? You watch your own back. I do what I always do — disappear.”

- Peter, Claude (Unexpected)
