Appearances

 * Kurt's Scenario: Main Character
 * Judy's Scenario: Playable Character, joins right when the first quest starts.
 * Ventus' Scenario: Even when playing as Ventus, Kurt does help him out during the festival.

Battle
The Cursed Gauntlet prevents any remarkable abilities (especially in Judy's scenario where you cannot upgrade it), as do Kurt's appalling stats. He has weak growth in pretty much all areas, but can be molded into using Water and Fire Magic as well as some good damage with Axe attacks. He is actually quite a poor melee character, lacking the Strength needed to do significant damage, in comparison to other people you will have in your party.

It's best to see Kurt as the most balanced character; he has no specialties, but also no faults.
