Claire Russell Profile and Background
 Claire Russell | |
|---|---|
| Full Name | Claire Russell |
| Job | Bartender |
| District | Watson |
| Gender | Female |
| Affiliation | Afterlife |
| Voice Actor | Maddie Taylor |
In-Game Description
Every regular at the Afterlife knows Claire, the bartender who knows their favorite drink by heart, what they drank last time, and even what their friends ordered. Likewise, most know a few facts about Claire too. She's transwoman who hasn't installed a single piece of cyberware in her body. She quit her job as a Militech engineer. And she's responsible for immortalizing Night City legends by naming drinks after them on the bar menu. Posthumously, of course.
What not all Afterlife clients know, however, is that Claire owns her own autoshop where she can be found spending hours under the hoods of broken-down cars and Beast, the rig she takes out on less-than-legal street races.
