[edit] Disgaea: Hour of Darkness
Another human from Earth, Kurtis works under General Carter and the Earth Defense Force like Captain Gordon. However, he views himself as more worthy of the title of Defender of Earth than Gordon. Although it may be coincidence, he has facial features in common with Don Joaquin, the original defender of earth, suggesting a sort of ancestral pride that may fuel his desire to be the defender.
Kurtis suffered a traumatic experience which cost him over 70% of his body in addition to his wife and daughter. Because of this, Kurtis became a cyborg and began to resent Gordon, taking several of his missons. Kurtis is also a brilliant scientist, whose intelligence and technical knowledge rival Jennifer's. However, Kurtis conducts much more fearful research in comparison to hers. He also tends to be rather sarcastic, especially to Gordon.
Near the end of the game, Kurtis sacrifices himself to save Jennifer, afterwards, he joins Laharl's party in Celestia as a Prinny.
[edit] Disgaea 2: Cursed Memories
Kurtis makes a reappearance in Disgaea 2: Cursed Memories, this time in his Prinny incarnation as the 38th Defender of Earth. He will come to the aid of those who call him on his Cell Phone, although he will make a remark about relying on one's self instead of him. Repeatedly calling him opens up two optional stages in which he faces off against robot clones of his human self (all of which speak in a similar manner to William Shatner). He also becomes a playable character in the Land of Carnage after you get all 16 Pirate Maps in Item World. In Disgaea 2: Dark Hero Days Kurtis is once again a "Land Of Carnage Only" character. However, beating his second Bonus Stage will unlock the Mass Produced Kurtis monster class.
[edit] Disgaea 3: Absence of Justice
Kurtis and his Prinny form are available as Downloadable Content in Disgaea 3: Absence of Justice, in battle, Kurtis can Magichange into a Fist and Prinny Kurtis can Magichange into a Gun.
[edit] Trivia
- It appears as if Kurtis's human design was based on that of Cyborg 002 from the anime and manga Cyborg 009 most notably his pointed nose is based on the Cyborg 002 Design.
- Kurtis has his own theme song that plays in various scenes in the 3 games that focus on him. It is called "Battle Comrade". When called in Disgaea 2 via Cell Phone, Battle Comrade will replace the song that was playing before.
