Kurt Jenssen

Kurt Jenssen was the CEO of the Goldways weapons manufacturing company. After he was discovered to be rigging the Ring of Ruin tournament and paying an assassin to make those who disobeyed disappear, he committed suicide during battle with Kika, Fan Brightgrass, Ridley Elderstone and their allies.

Appearances
Kurt first appeared during the Firetronics Sponsorship Gala, where he joined Bolgr Nordberg on stage during his speech to the attendees and cast See Invisibility, seemingly aware of Kika's earlier intrusion into the mansion. He joined Bolgr and Grimlock in a discussion with Ridley Elderstone (in Disguise Self as Bartholomew) about potentially contributing to the sponsorship pool.

Later, Kurt invited the party as the Gold Canaries to his private office at the Ring of Ruin to discuss sponsorship. He did not sign the Canaries on the spot, opting to make his decision after another round.

After the party captured Athene Griffith and confirmed she was hired by Kurt to eliminate disobedient Ring combatants, they entered his mansion to confront him with Ridley once again in disguise as Bartholomew. Kurt immediately dispelled Ridley's Disguise Self and engaged the party in combat, now aware of their investigation and hoping to dispose of them before his scheme was exposed. Kurt knocked both Ridley and Radovan unconscious with his signature Fireball, and seriously injured Fan Brightgrass and Kika to the point Fan chose to flee with their unconscious allies. Kika remained in an attempt to capture Kurt, but he used Dimension Door to escape.

The party later found Kurt at Bolgr Nordberg's mansion, where the latter lay dead. They engaged him in combat once again, this time with the help of the Brazen Bulldogs, Night Stalkers and Tihaka Three. With the help of their allies they overwhelmed the magic user and he eventually committed suicide by Fireball, attempting - and failing - to take the Canaries down with him due to their proximity. His final Fireball destroyed the balcony of what was Bolgr's bedroom.

Abilities
Kurt showed a particular affinity with fire spells, using both a standard Fireball and a slightly less powerful version of the spell. After his defeat, Ridley Elderstone imitated and perfected Kurt's Fireball technique for his own use.

It was also hinted that Kurt had some form of mental manipulation ability due to Bolgr Nordberg's guards and butler believing Bolgr was alive and well when he had been dead by Kurt's hand for several hours.

Kurt also showed usage of Shield, Mage Armor, Dimension Door and See Invisibility.
