Kurgan, born in a tribe with multi-armed individuals, had more arms than most, but even within his own people, having eight arms was rare. In his youth, he elevated the standing of his clan and safeguarded their land from a Vollachian lord who sought to seize it. His exploits gained him worldwide acclaim, earning him legendary status comparable to an order of merit from the Vollachia Emperor himself. About forty years ago, Kurgan saved Stride's life by rescuing him from near-death due to illness and has since served as his bodyguard. Wilhelm defeated Kurgan in several battles at Picoutatte, cutting off two of his eight arms, which were later likely reattached between their encounters. Despite being mortally wounded, Kurgan was miraculously healed by Volcania. He was then extradited back to the Vollachian Empire. Later, Kurgan was killed by Regulus Corneas while fighting Garkla but was revived as a puppet for the Witch Cult during Arc 5. At the Battle of Priestella, both he and a revived puppet of Thearesia van Astrea fought. Eventually, his corpse was destroyed by Garfiel Tinsel.
