Kurt is a nondescript sort of individual; competent and agreeable but with a tendency to fade into the background when alongside more boisterous companions. Indeed, those with an eye for such things may realise that Kurt is a ‘grey man’, an individual adept at not being noticed. This is for good reason; he is a naval intelligence operative sent along to obtain whatever data he can. He and Magnus Sundstrom know one another’s agenda and are willing to cooperate most of the time, although Magnus does not officially recognise Kurt as anything other than one of his crew. If the Travellers figure out what Kurt is, he will openly admit it unless they have done something to make him suspicious of them. Kurt will then try to co-opt the Travellers to assist him
with his mission, which will not offend Magnus unless they neglect their duties as a result or start producing information that contradicts his own opinions.
