Like Michelle Webster, Claudia was a pre-Immortal who had known Duncan since she was a little girl. Later in her adult life, Claudia became a pianist. In 1995, She was visiting Duncan for a few days. One day while playing the piano in a building while an unknown man stands above her cutting one of the cables. He succeeds but Claudia is not standing above the falling lights stand which crashes the piano. Duncan is concerned especially when he sensed another Immortal close by. Claudia on the other hand is not troubled. Duncan decides to take her to Joe's where Methos is there who senses Duncan and Claudia. Methos asks Duncan if she knows that she is destined to be Immortal.

Claudia is happy with the fact that she is Immortal much to Duncan's annoyance at Walter for killing her.

But this has a negative effect on Claudia as her talent seems to fade away. This did not sit well with Walter who kept pushing her to try harder to no avail even threatening to take her head. But she escapes him and seeks safety from Duncan.

Duncan decides to take her to a Buddhist monastery for safety. But Walter comes out and shoots Duncan dead. Scared, Claudia asks Walter what he wants."guide your genius." Claudia says she can't play anymore, that Walter stole her genius from her. Walter is furious at that, and puts his sword to her neck. She kneels down, terrified, as Duncan stands and puts his own sword to Walter's neck. She tells Duncan to let Walter kill her. But Duncan tells Walter to put down his sword, and orders Claudia to get inside the monastery and wait for him. Walter turns and beats Duncan's sword aside, adding to Claudia that he'll "be in in a moment. MacLeod knows which of us is the better swordsman." Duncan says he's had a little practice since then, but Walter says he never had that much talent. They fight, with Duncan eventually succeeding in disarming Walter, and tells him if he swears that he'll leave Claudia alone he'll spare him. Walter Shakespeare) says, "What value will my life have, without her genius to color it?" Duncan is about to take Walter's head when Walter quickly tells him that he will leave her. And the two men parts ways as friends.

Duncan tells her that he will start training her to use a sword to which she declines saying that only if she is afraid of death can she pursue her dream. Duncan insists that she learn how to use a sword because "While you're out there chasing your dreams, someone else will be chasing you." Claudia says she has to. "Duncan, it's okay," she tells him.

Duncan later meets up with Joe who assures him that a Watcher will be assigned to her soon. In the episode"Indiscretions", We learn that Duncan has moved to London and is with Claudia who is also in London performing a concert which Duncan is helping fund.
