History

 * Main article: w:c:soulcalibur:Curtis

Curtis was the second son of a family of English knights that can trace their lineage back to the days of yore. Staunch supporters of the Aval Organization, his house has produced a number of notable warriors and leaders, including many who were raised to Aval’s Twelve, organization’s ruling council. Thus, in the tradition of his family, Curtis was brought up to lead Aval into the next age. Curtis, like Grøh, became one of the Twelve.

Malfestation and Death
As Curtis and Grøh completed their mission in raiding the hideout of the Fygul Cestemus, Azwel made his presence known. He hurled a throwing knife at Curtis. However, the knife thrown had a shard of Soul Edge produced by one of Azwel's gauntlets, turning him into a Malfested. Having no other option, Grøh was forced to kill him out of mercy.

Family

 * Grøh - teammate and best friend
 * Orzal - mentor, deceased

Personality
Well-versed in both combat and strategy, Curtis's talent as both warrior and tactician resulted in nearly a flawless mission record, a feat few can match within Aval. He was often teased for caring almost too deeply for his subordinates, but this burning sense of responsibility – along with his ability – means that the missions he was responsible for almost always resulted in few casualties and little collateral damage. As such, he was a popular and well-regarded leader.
