Peter Kurdin

Peter Kurdin is the name of a former United States military officer and Blackwater Security member who is responsible for kidnapping John Smith off the streets. Under his harsh tutelage, John became the efficient assassin and spy he is today.

Personality
Little is known of Kurdin, though it can be assumed he is a generally amoral person judging by the actions he has committed in the past. His training of John was described as incredibly dangerous and harsh to the point of torture or abuse. In addition, his reason behind sending his student to kill Alaura Lintley after she hacked his computer was for fear of being arrested for war crimes during his time at Blackwater.

History
Kurdin was once a member of the United States military. Based on his age, it can be assumed he was on active duty during the Cold War, Vietnam War, and/or possibly even the Korean War. At some point, he joined with the Blackwater Security group to perform operations with the American government, supposedly some that would qualify as war crimes. He retired eventually, kidnapping John Smith during the 1990's to train for several years to come.

At some point, his computer was hacked by Alaura Lintley, who uncovered the information of his illegal activity during his time at Blackwater. To silence her, he sent John to kill her, but he was unable to do it. John faked his death and never returned. It is unknown what became of Kurdin after this and whether or not Alaura revealed the information she had collected on him.
