Claire Russell Profile and Background

Claire Russell Image 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.
