Clues & Culprits › Rogues’ Gallery › Kurt
Kurt
Nobody knows where he came from. He likes it that way.
Rogue — Lives on luck and charm. Mostly charm.
In their own words
“Names are just labels.”
“I go where the wind takes me.”
“Don't look for me tomorrow. I won't be there.”
“I came in on the boat train. I leave the same way.”— in Victorian London, 1888
Characters’ asides never contain clues. In a case, only their statements count as evidence.
Case record
Kurt has stood in 22 lineups so far, as a visitor, a card sharp, a understudy, a dealer, a animal smuggler, a poacher and more. Whether they were guilty is something you’ll have to prove for yourself.

Track record
In the 20 cases old enough to have a published walkthrough, Kurt turned out to be a criminal 8 times and innocent 12 times. Roughly what you would expect by chance: a past record is never evidence in Clues & Culprits. Today’s and yesterday’s cases are left out so nothing is spoiled.
