Kurt Weaver (died October 2017) was a billionaire and former programmer who, along with his friends, robbed Ramsey Deacon of "Kilg%re" and got rich off of his idea.
Biography[]
In 2013, Kurt Weaver, Ramsey Deacon, Tim Kwon, and Sheila Agnani created the malware app "Kilg%re" in Ramsey's garage. On January 17, 2014, the team was awarded the Quasar Prize in the 25th edition of the annual "Quasar Award" in Keystone City. However, Ramsey's friends wanted to enrich the program and stole his idea, selling it to a large technology company for billions and leaving him with nothing. Kurt even digitally scrubbed any connection between the four of them to ensure Ramsey couldn't take legal action.
One night in October 2017, Kurt toured a new penthouse as a prospective buyer. Satisfied, he agreed to buy it and took the elevator downstairs, leaving the real estate agent alone in the penthouse. Suddenly, the elevator started malfunctioning and the sign "Kilg%re" appeared on the control panel. Putting the signs together, Kurt immediately realized that he was in trouble, but was unable to escape and the elevator began to constantly shake up and down, eventually killing him.[1]

Kurt's death was avenged when Clifford DeVoe killed Ramsey.[2]
Personality[]
Kurt was a greedy, power-hungry individual who desired fame and money. He robbed his partner, Ramsey Deacon, of "Kilg%re" to sell it and become rich. Unlike his partners, Kurt didn't even seem to be genuinely interested in programming, only caring about the fortune it brought him. Kurt was also extremely pompous and enjoyed flaunting his wealth; he wanted to buy a lavish modern penthouse solely because of its price in order to show off the fact that he could afford it.[1]
