Using illusion magic,[4] Claudia appeared as a non-drow elven woman, who looked to be, by human standards, in her 40’s. While working she was graceful if a bit disheveled, wearing a simple apron and having her hair pulled back and tied into a small haphazard bun.[5] When off-duty, she wore a maroon silk robe and had her hair in a high bun.[6]
Personality[edit | edit source]
She was not judgmental when it concerned which patron or deity a person chose to follow, even if it happened to be unsanctioned by the Dwendalian Empire[7], going so far as allowing the Knights of Requital to hold their meetings in the cellar of The Leaky Tap.[8]
Biography[edit | edit source]
Background[edit | edit source]
Claudia was a refugee from conflicts of the Kryn Dynasty. The man who owned the tavern offered to take her in, but badly mistreated her. She killed him, hid his skeleton, and got forged documents from the Gentleman to take over the tavern.[9]
Her cover story was that she had lived in Zadash most of her life and acquired the tavern through being cautious and skeptical. She told the Mighty Nein that "The man I took it all from, I wanted him to leave nothing behind."[10]
"Steam and Conversation" (2x09)[edit | edit source]
After meeting Claudia[11], the Mighty Nein discovered that she allows The Knights of Requital to use her cellar for their secret meetings.[12]
"Lost & Found" (2x13)[edit | edit source]
Fearing that she would be caught up and would suffer consequences for her involvement with The Knights of Requital, Claudia sold her tavern to Lauren Schvine and made plans to move away from the city.[13]
Relationships[edit | edit source]
Bryce Feelid[edit | edit source]
She was a friend of theirs when they lived in Zadash for about three years, prior to joining the Crownsguard and moving to Bladegarden.[14]
Lauren Schvine[edit | edit source]
Fearing that the Knights of Requital would be arrested, and that she'd be wrapped up with them after the events of the Pre-Harvest Close Gala, she made preparations and eventually sold off The Leaky Tap Tavern to her friend.[15][16]
