History
With Sonic the Hedgehog having excaped his prison cell and taken down the Scimitar Brothers, Kurse appeared intervened in the battle, using his magic to trap Sonic in a small stone cage. When the Scimitar Brothers helped Sonic escape in exchange for Kurse's defeat, Kurse tortured the traitors with everlasting pain. He then turned his attentions to Sonic, planning on turning Sonic into a toad. Fortunately, Sonic was too fast and hit Kurse with a Spin Attack, defeating him.

Winded and lying amongst a pile of jars, Kurse offered his services to Sonic. The hedgehog took the opportunity to free the brothers, let the slaves go and then ordered Kurse to "get lost". .
