One of the youngest members of the main branch of the noble House Von Altenburg, Claudia became a vampire in the winter of 1390AE. For half a year, she learned to control herself around the allure of mortal blood. Finally managing to learn self control by the summer of 1390-1391AE, Claudia was finally left to her own devices in the lower districts of Sarona City. It was on that first night that she met the most unlikely of victims, Hugrim. Unbeknownst to Hugrim, he was inhabited by a spirit, a ghost of past glory, which resisted Claudia's dominating gaze, throwing her off guard and causing her to flee in her confusion. Not realising his luck and leaving it at that, Hugrim pursued Claudia, only to discover her true nature. Claudia had also become fascinated with Hugrim and his apparent ability to resist her otherwise irresistible power. The two entered a tenuous relationship, under the watch of the House Von Altenburg, who charged Hugrim as Claudia's protector in return for not killing him upon discovering the House's secret.
Their relationship did not last long, as during the midsummer festival of 1391AE, Claudia caught the scent of a fey in the crowd and lost control of herself, causing Hugrim to question his affection for Claudia. In the light of her savage attack, Claudia was confined to the House estate in the noble's district for half a year, until midwinter. In those four and a half months she had not forgotten about Hugrim, though he had all but forgotten her. He had done much with his time since midsummer, and met many people. Notably, Marybelle. Seeing Hugrim with another woman infuriated Claudia initially, but after carefully stalking Marybelle for a few nights, she quickly discovered that Marybelle was far from interested in Hugrim, so another thought formed in Claudia's head: perhaps she could convince Marybelle to help her get Hugrim back! Little did she know what was in store for her when she knocked on Marybelle's door that evening. Upon meeting Marybelle, Claudia's desire for Hugrim quickly shifted from infatuation, to possessiveness, merely wanting him as a trophy. Her attention instead shifted to her new friend Marybelle, and all the incredible experiences she had to offer; why tie herself down to a single man, when she could have anyone or anything she desired? For a brief period, Hugrim sought to reconcile their relationship, and at Marybelle's urging, Claudia attempted to do so, but she was eventually once more shunned by Hugrim, causing her to forevermore see mortals as nothing more than cattle to be herded and consumed.
A few years after her rebirth as a vampire, Claudia was able to turn her biological sister, Nymphadora, a rare occurance amongst House Von Altenburg. This was allowed due to the Tarrasque invasion of 1393AE of Sarona City, several of the House were lost, leaving vacancies for Claudia to once more be reuinited with her sister in undeath.
