At 6’2”, Gideon is usually taller than most Claymore’s in the organisation though his hair is paler than most of the others his eyes are the standard white-silver. He has an athletic build with well-defined muscles though he isn’t bulky at all since he doesn’t want to slow himself down.

Abilities: Iron Skin
The unique ability that got Gideon his nickname, he is able to manipulate his Yoki into certain parts of his body to harden the skin and make it all but unbreakable except to the strongest of attacks that have a lot of power behind them. One the affected part the skin shimmers silver but it’s hard to notice from afar, the biggest weakness of this ability is if Gideon is caught off-guard and isn’t able to use it in time. Because of this he has found a way to counter such a flaw in his ability by hardening every part of his body which makes his skin and hair look paler than normal. Of course, such a powerful ability is very taxing and he cannot maintain it for long nor will he use it unless the circumstances are dire. Though this ability is primarily defensive in nature, he is able to harden the area around his knuckles for increased striking power.
Strong Arm
A rather simple ability were Gideon awakens his arms to increase the strength behind his attacks either with his sword or simply with his fists.
Yoki Regeneration
Though Gideon is a defensive type and they have greater regenerative abilities than offensive types, he is also able to pour Yoki into any wounds on his body to heal them depending on the severity of the injury itself. Minor cuts and bruises will heal instantaneously, deep cuts and gashes take several seconds and missing limbs minutes. The greater the wound the more straining this ability becomes on Gideon’s body.
Yoki Sensing
Though no master at sensing another's Yoki, Gideon can detect a Claymore or Yoma at a range of roughly one hundred metres unless they are trying to mask their Yoki which would force him to concentrate on finding them if he wanted to get their location. When in close proximity with an aura of Yoki, he can usually identify its feeling and what emotions the owner is currently exhibiting.
Biography:
Like most other Claymore’s, Gideon can’t remember anything of his life before being brought into the organisation and that experience was one he would never soon forget. At first he was their loyal attack dog who always felt like he had something to prove so always strived for excellence in everything that he did. Killing Yoma and awakened beings without a care in the world or shred of mercy, it was a time he would rather forget about and before he created his signature ability they often referred to him as Gideon “the bloody” as he very commonly returned covered from head to toe in blood.
The more he ventured out into the world to slay his mortal enemy and the scourge of mankind, he began to mature mentally and see just what was happening to him. Sometimes when he visited a village or city, he’d find himself staring at families embracing one another or even simpler acts of love like a father messing up the hair of his son. He knew he could never have such a thing and thought it would be a selfish thing to want in life but he did so anyway, he didn’t just want to be a name and number that would be forgotten by those who cared so little for his life. And so he started thinking up a plan or a way he could escape this hellish existence, it would take some time to perfect but he deems it a worthy cause.
Personality:
For the most part Gideon is a quiet individual and rarely speaks unless he has some of value to say, there is the possibility he may act different around friends if he truly had any. Though he will do his mission and carry it out by any means necessary, he often uses his own initiative when trying to hunt down Yoma and never strictly abides by any rules. This is because he is slowly to really think about his role in this world and that he is but a weapon which simply doesn’t sit well with him any longer though he is yet to say a thing.
It is hard to disrupt Gideon’s calm demeanour since he cares for very little and in battle he thinks tactically, coming up with multiple ways he can beat his enemy and he never lets battles last long if he can help it. Because of the way he carries himself he is respectful to everyone that he meets unless he has a reason not though he isn’t beyond giving someone another chance should they say or do something he does not approve of.
He has a strong distaste for the releasing of his Yoki and will often go to quite some lengths in order to stop himself using it unless he is in immediate danger or thinks an attack on him will be fatal. If he can see himself destroying his enemy with just his martial skill then he will do just that and he’d much prefer it this way since he is afraid of losing control of himself, he doesn’t want to lose himself to the power within.
With long, unkempt blond-white and white-silver eyes he has all the features of a Claymore though his face is always deadpan and no one has ever witnessed him express a single emotion in the entirety of his life as a Claymore. When he speaks his voice is flat and seemingly uncaring though it’s hard trying to crack the blank mask he always adorns.

Abilities: Expert Tracker:
Raynald has fine-tuned his Yoki sensing skills to the extreme point that he can detect even a sliver of released Yoki, if he is concentrating then he has the chance of even finding those who are actively trying to hide their presence. The range of this ability is not known but it's safe to say it extends over great distances and no one can truly escape his nose. Because of his mastery over this ability, he has an easy time reading others: their emotions, intentions, thoughts. It can at times seem like he knows what his opponent is going to do next before even they realise.
Biography:
Upon completing his training he was immediately granted a single digit rank for his remarkable skills and abilities but also his unflinching and stubborn loyalty to the organisation. He was tasked with finding rogue Claymore’s, Yoma and lead parties of his kind to hunt down awakened beings. Though his personality never got him many friends, a fact he cares little about, he has been incredibly successful thus far which has allowed him to become the second strongest Claymore. Others are rightfully afraid of Raynald and his fearsome reputation makes his kin think otherwise if they even consider running from the organisation. It’s fair to say that the number of rogue Claymore’s has dropped dramatically since his role as their blood hound.
Personality:
It’s as clear as day that Raynald is here to serve, he does not allow others to speak poorly of the organisation and if he catches someone mocking it then there will absolutely be violence. He treats others as the weapons they are and cares not for their feelings or discomforts, all he expects is obedience from his subordinates. There are few outcomes he does not take under consideration and he is constantly calculating the risks and success rates of his decisions and orders. Raynald is not against retreating from battle should he need to though he is more likely to run and form a trap for his pursuer who thinks they have him at a disadvantage.
Ansgar's hair easily covers his ears in a long but not entirely messy way. His 6 foot frame is built for war and though he isn’t overly large, he has the necessary muscle where it counts. Usually he is seen with a slight smirk on his face, almost like he is looking for trouble.

Abilities: Ability:
Brute strength is Ansgar's forte and, when supplemented with his stunning yoki levels and high agility and perception, he becomes the ultimate offensive warrior.
Long Blade
A truly terrifying ability and one that Ansgar has fully mastered over the years since its creation. By awakening one or both of his arms he is able to extend them with frightening speed appearing as nothing more than a blur, he full range of this attack is unknown but he has used it up to distances of one hundred feet. During this brief moment of time he can make up to three attacks before his arms have to retract back to their normal length. This can make it hard for anyone to even get close to him and it takes incredible skill to engage him in close quarters combat.
Biography:
When Ansgar was first brought into the folds of the organisation, it was evident he was destined for greatness in the form of his natural talent and at that point he was referred to as a genius. Picking up the skills instantly and then mastering them within mere days it wasn’t long before he received a single digit rank and even less time to become number one. And now he doesn’t bother with Yoma as they are far too weak for one such as him and will only go after the most powerful of foes.
Personality:
An arrogant, self-centred bastard is what most will see in Ansgar though unlike many others he has the skill to back his boasts and no one can really dispute his strength. The one thing he enjoys more than bragging is to fight and kill, he is a warrior at heart and lives for the rush of adrenaline pumping through his system as he battles to the death.
