General
- Was the Cube Retrieval Project's expert from the department of Natural Sciences before being dismissed in Jan '07 [1]
- Holds a studentship in computer science, with interests in cryptology and physics
- Joined the Academy from West Besley College, where he took an excellent degree
- Also restructured the College's key systems to operate at 200% efficiency
- This method was purchased by Centrifuge Technologies when Kurt was only 20 years old
- Is a self-confessed "geek"
- Will happily spend his free time repairing old pieces of technology or perfecting his collection of replica antique Earth computers
- Enjoys running, and has taken part in the Polygon Path 20k race for the past five years
- Other activities include assisting in the PCAG fireworks show, and competing in the Academy Paper Airplane contest.
- Lives on Magine Lane in the north of the city.
- Is friends with Violet Kiteway
- Helped her break into the Reconstructionists compound
- Uncovered the Recon Encryption Puzzle
- Has setup his blog to be only readable by citizens of Earth
- This might be slightly illegal and/or infringing on Academy rules, but is probably okay.
- Due to his sniffing and poking around on the subject of Reynolds Ionizers, his key was infected with some sort of tracking or virus system, causing him to need to reformat, rebuild, and otherwise reconfigure it.
- This was eventually revealed to be done by Claire Castille.
- Is a fan of Mornington Crescent
- Came second in the "All-departments Academy Second Division Crescent Challenge 2005"
- Would have come in first place, if not for his opponent's use of the Reverse Triple-jump Cyclotron tactic, which takes advantage of the fact that the Perplex City Subway runs 24 hours a day.
