—Man commenting on Claude during the Lacour Tournament of Arms.


Claude C. Kenny is one of the two main protagonists of Star Ocean: The Second Story and its remake, Star Ocean: Second Evolution, alongside Rena Lanford. He is the son of the famous admiral Ronyx J. Kenny.

He is an ensign working with his father on his ship the Calnus for the Earth Federation. His father attempts to help Claude to become better in the Federation, even though Claude is not too keen of his job.

He later reappears in Star Ocean: Blue Sphere, now under the rank of lieutenant. Also in the mobile phone remake of Blue Sphere, Claude's name has been more literally translated as "Crawd"

[edit] Personality

Claude has the tendency to be brash, impetuous, and usually a little late, but altruistic. Claude's good looks and noble nature tend to draw the interest of his female party members, especially Rena.

[edit] Story

[edit] Star Ocean: The Second Story/Second Evolution

He has always lived under the shadow of his father's celebrity and role-model status. During a reconnaissance mission on Planet Milokeenia after ignoring his father's warnings about a strange device which was found during the exploration, he's transported to Planet Expel, and finds a girl, Rena Lanford, threatened by a monster, and quickly slays the creature using a Phase Gun provided by his father. Due to this event, he is mistaken for the "Hero of Light" by Rena (as well as the other Expelians); because the so-called "Hero" used "Alien Raiments" (Claude's clothes, different to the ones used in Expel) and a "Sword of Light" (his Phase Gun). After clarifying the situation, he goes to investigate the mysterious Sorcery Globe incident in order to find clues which would help him to return to Earth (or to his father's ship, the Calnus).

Near the end of the game, upon entering Phynal, Gabriel decides to show off his massive power by using his antimatter cannon on the Calnus, killing everyone on board, including Claude's father. Claude is immensly angered by what the leader of the Ten Wise Men did, and swears to kill Gabriel and avenge his father.

[edit] Equipment

He wields a sword in battle and a few fist techniques, although he briefly used a Phase Gun in the beginning of the game in order to save Rena. He also can wield some of the strongest armors in the game.

[edit] Trivia

  • You can permanently recruit Leon D.S. Gehste, but not Dias Flac, in Claude's scenario.
  • Claude's favorite instrument is the Silver Trumpet. His favorite food is steak
  • Claude and Ronyx are heavily implied to be descendants of the fourth game's Stephen D. Kenny.
  • While never officially stated, Claude's mother is heavily implied to be Ilia Silvestri.
  • After battle, Claude has a habit of rating the party's performance on a scale of one to ten. Ilia demonstrated the same habit years before Claude was born, which would seem to further support the theory that she is his mother.
  • In Second Story, Claude's last name is Kenni. But in Second Evolution it is changed to Kenny.
