Powers:

Claire possesses no natural super powers as such. She does possess extraordinary skill in the martial arts and swordplay. She also has a brilliant tactical mind and would make a brilliant field leader.
She also has expertise in numerous other fields including (but not exclusive to) electronics, firearms, archery, criminal investigation, & mechanical repair. She can also speak French, English, Japanese, Spanish, Dutch and German fluently.

Claire wears a suit of armour that grants the following abilities (MK II armour pictured - MK I was destroyed by the Snow Sabre):

THE HAND OF GOD: a white aura that surrounds the Crusader at all times. It is set specifically to repel Snow Sabre's Dragon slayer Sabre, rendering that blade useless against her. The field also acts as an inertia-dampening field that means all incoming objects (such as bullets, fists, arrows, mortars) are slowed by at least half upon contact with the field reducing impact significantly and preventing ricochet.

THE WRATH OF GOD: energy sword can cut through almost anything. It can be any length up to 6 feet, depending on the Crusaders wishes.

ENERGY SHIELD: located on the left arm and is intended to block direct attacks other than the Dragon Slayer sword. Its limits have never been tested but it took grenades, tank shells, artillery and sizable explosive devices with relative ease.

HOLY ARMOUR: the armour powers all the other functions (sword, aura, shield) and is intended to defend against attacks that the shield misses (area effect attacks especially). It has been tested against artillery fire and survived with no damage. It is airtight and uses an oxygen rebreather system that provides three days of air before the suit must be 'opened'. It also provides limited super strength, max press: about two tones

HELMET: the helmet contains a visor that is designed to stop blinding attacks (its tint changes depending on light conditions). Has a night vision lens. The helmet also changes the wearers voice into a gravely deep tone. It contains communications equipment that keeps the Crusader in constant contact with HQ.

THE CLOAK: bullet proof but still flexible - therefore there is no penetration but plenty of impact. Designed to protect from surprise attacks.

WEAPONS: the armor has a sheath located on the back (under the cloak) for a conventional long sword. The top of each boot also contains a single long knife that are balanced both for hand to hand fighting and throwing.
