Claude Sterling

Claude Sterling is Alexander Sterling's cousin and a half blooded vampire with an intense jealousy towards him. His major goal in the Vampire Kisses series is to become a full vampire, and he traveled to "Dullsville" along with his friends Tripp, Kat, and Rocco (all half bloods as well) to find a vial that would change them into full blooded vampire. He decided that they would stay in Dullsville saying they could have a better life there. While he was digging to find the vials, he found Danger, his grandmother's dead cat. In Vampire Kisses: Graveyard Games, Raven believed that Claude and his gang are full vampires and have returned back to Romania so that he could be the alpha vampire of his undead clan. It is later revealed that he didn't leave.

Claude holds a deep hatred towards Alexander for being the "favorite" in his grandmother's eyes as shown in the scene when the two each received a present of a soldier with their family cresent. While in "Dullsville," he is first seen coming out of a coffin inside the cemetery with his friends inside the graphic novel series "Vampire Kisses: Blood Relatives," and is only shown through this series as the main villain. Because he is a half vampire, Claude can walk amongst the humans at school in order to torture and bug Raven into helping him find the vials. Raven holds a deep disliking for Claude as seen when he dragged her through the hallways when she was "showing him around" the school.
