He was working on his PhD at the Courant Institute when his life changed. Claude was about to publish a paper on a new cyptographic system which was a leap ahead what was already published. It was elegent in the fact that it was just minor change some current algortithms that increased its security 10 fold. However the paper never showed up in the journal he submitted to. What did show up were two gentlemen from the NSA who showed him similar papers that were writen 15 years ago, but also never published. At this point the NSA gave Claude and option. Work for them, or get sent back to England. They said they had ways of showing that his US Citizenship was "invalid." While working for the NSA, Claude saw them rely heavily on computers to do their thinking. Most codes were being broken by "Brute Force" or less elegant forms of Cypto Analysis.

Personality: Claude is no long the naive young math genius. His time with the NSA has shown him that Information and Access to that Information is were power lies in this day and age. He also learned to become observent and take note of everything he sees. It maybe useful one day. He has also learned to be manipulate people to a small extent. And to be able to know when others are trying to manipulate him as well. Life in the NSA has shown him that the weakest element in any cryptosystem is the people that use it. And it is sometimes easier to "Social Engineer" your way to your goal. Appearance : Claude is well groomed geek. He does sport long hair and a gotee, but keeps is all well trimed and dresses with some fasion sence. Front/Cover Job: Claude works as a Securties Consultant for various firms around the US and the UK. Many of his job contacts come though his fathers business ventures.
