KURTIS TRENT
Originating from the Tomb Raider franchise as a one-off character introduced in the sixth main entry, The Angel of Darkness, Kurtis Trent was one of many casualties as a result of the rushed and unfinished development cycle for said game, his backstory and much of his inherent capabilities left on the cutting room floor.
Born on 26th June 1972 in a bunker within Salt Flats, Utah, Kurtis Heissturm found himself constantly on the run with his family from the likes of the immortal black alchemist, Eckhardt and his equally deadly Cabal organisation who sought to wipe out all surviving traces of the Lux Veritatis.
Trained in the ways of the Lux Veritatis order by his father Konstantin from an early age (which were in themselves an offshoot of the Knights Templar), Kurtis underwent many strenuous and intense trials, his father becoming increasingly distant as his priorities for the Lux Veritatis outweighed his time to devote to his son as he aged into adulthood.
Eventually gaining access to powerful abilities and skills not too long after becoming nineteen, Kurtis became disillusioned with the Lux Veritatis's collective mission and disappeared to join the Foreign Legion, changing his surname to Trent in order to keep a low profile.
Staying hidden from the Cabal for five long years within the Foreign Legion in order to qualify for French citizenship, Kurtis found himself constantly assaulted by strange and hard-to-explain events linked to the occult.
Adapting the nickname of 'Demon Hunter', Kurtis would leave the Foreign Legion in 1996 to freelance as a mercenary under an assortment of semi-legal agencies collectively under the direction of Marten Gunderson, continuing to deal with whatever odd jobs needed to be sorted out for the next three years whilst continuing to evade the attention of the Cabal.
Eventually learning through a covertly sent letter that his father had been caught and murdered by Eckhardt, Kurtis felt nothing but feelings of incredible guilt for leaving the Lux Veritatis and in his grief, vowed revenge against Eckhardt to ensure his father had not died in vain.
Granted by his mother Marie, the terrifying Chirugai blade (a discus-like glaive) and two talismanic items known as the Periapt Shards (which were the only things capable of killing Eckhardt for good if all three were united), Kurtis would set off on a personal mission to overthrow Eckhardt and finally bring an end to his centuries of tyranny.
Crossing paths several times with world renowned adventurer, archeologist and tomb raider, Lara Croft across Paris as he searched for the fabled Obscura Paintings that contained parts needed to revive an ancient evil called the Sleeper (which would in return revive the dangerous Nephilim race), the two eventually formed a partnership to stop the major threat once and for all.
Through many trials and tribulations as the two travelled all across Europe to stop the true villain, Karel, an undercover Nephilim posing as one of Eckhardt's Cabal lieutenants, from continuing where Eckhardt had failed, Lara and Kurtis would succeed and save the world from the threat of both the Cabal and Nephilim, going their separate ways whilst continuing to keep in contact if another major threat were to arise again in future.
Now reunited with Lara Croft once again after four years, Kurtis finds himself joining Lara among a vast alliance of powerful individuals brought together under the management of S.H.I.E.L.D., their collective reason for joining together being to stop Doctor Doom and the Masters of Evil from destroying all of existence.
Arming himself with his custom made Boran X pistol, Kurtis prepares to handle this mission in his stride, his strengthened confidence and cocky attitude shining through as he prepares for whatever comes next...
