Kurt Wagner was born in Germany to the shapeshifting mutant Mystique and alledgedly Baron Christian Wagner. In reality, his mother had an affair with the demon-like, nigh immortal mutant Azazel.

As he aged into adulthood, and started drawing smaller and smaller crowds, the owner of the circus, Herr Getmann planned to sell Kurt. With the help of his foster mother and Armen Freilich, he escaped. Unfortunately, not before accidentally setting the place abaze by knocking over a torch.

Kurt has the ability to teleport himself, the clothes he is wearing, and within limits a certain amount of additional mass which is in contact with him. He teleports by displacing himself into the Brimstone Dimension, traveling through it, and then returning to his own dimension at a certain distance from his point of departure.

Kurt has the ability to teleport himself, the clothes he is wearing, and within limits a certain amount of additional mass which is in contact with him. He teleports by displacing himself into the Brimstone Dimension, traveling through it, and then returning to his own dimension at a certain distance from his point of departure. He leaves behind smoke with a stench reminiscent of burning brimstone which is a small portion of the atmosphere escaping. There's also the muffled sound of air imploding to fill where he was, the telltale BAMF. He consciously determines his point of return. It is taxing on himself, but moreso to whoever he takes with him. This makes it an effective combat tactic to grab an opponent and teleport them with him a few times, wearing them out (OOC Consent required of course). The longer the distance, the more effort it takes and the more exhausting it is for him. His range is two miles although when teleporting from north-to-south he can push up to three miles. When taking someone with him, the distance is either reduced or he is exhausted more quickly.<br><br>
