==Early Life==

Command Sergeant Peter B. Kurtz was born on January 11, 1927, in Portland, Oregon. During the Depression, his father lost work, and joined the Navy as a "Working Alternative." The man was very impatient and always had to have something to do, so he said he'd join the Navy and serve till things cleared up, leaving his mother Janet to tend to the affairs of both him and his older sister Emily. When the war broke out, Peter's father Stephen was deployed to a naval base at Pearl Harbor, where he would be killed during the bombings. His sister would later die during childbirth and his mother died of cancer.

World War II
When he turned 18, Peter enlisted in the Rangers as a Private to carry out his father's legacy. Under the impression he would be deployed to Japan to fight in the Pacific War, Kurtz found himself sent to Normandy to invade Omaha Beach in Sector Dog Red. Kurtz was in the first wave and had every sergeant and officer in his unit eliminated before leaving the boat. Kurtz here demonstrated an act of leadership and commanded the confused and wounded soldiers to wipe out a unit of German machine gunners and Panzers. Upon return to the States, Kurtz received a Medal of Honor and was drafted into the Navy SEALs.

Project Nova
In 1945, Kurtz was deployed to the Arctic circle under command of General Nikita Dragovich under the alias of Private Alexei Tvelin. To perform the task, Kurtz underwent a four month course of Russian language. His objective was simple: find Doctor Friedrich Steiner in his base. Captain Viktor Reznov lead him and his squadmates through waves of Wehrmacht soldiers who were easily plowed through. Kurtz's marksman skills acquired through fighting at Normandy raised some suspicion with Reznov, but were just passed off as a natural talent. Eventually, the German was found, and the Wehrmacht surrendered. Dragovich then had Reznov lead his squad into a crippled ship, described later by Kurtz as "some useless old freighter with dead Nazis inside." Eventually, the squad came across a large tanker filled with a gas called Nova 6. "Haha, why does the general look like he's having an orgasm over that stuff?" Kurtz asked a squadmate named Dimitri Petrenko in Russian. "I don't know, but I don't like it." said Petrenko. Suddenly, Dragovich and his partner, Col. Lev Kravchenko dacided they wanted to see the effects of the poison, so he ordered Kurtz and his squad to be thrown into gas chambers. Petrenko and two other men were tossed into one while Reznov, a sergeant named Nevski and Kurtz were in another. Petrenko was gassed to death, and seeing the effects caused Kurtz to vomit and collapse on the floor. When all seemed lost, a rocket struck the chamber, and the door burst open. British commandos assaulted the area in search of the gas, something which the U.S. knew nothing about and deeply confused Kurtz. Kurtz's squadmates commenced escaping, and when he reached the outside, Kurtz fled on his own and started to go back to America.

Operation Flashpoint
In 1963, Kurtz was circulated back into the army with the rank of sergeant and a new mission: eliminate Soyuz 2 and General Dragovich. "That bastard's gonna get it!" he told his squad members, Alex Mason and Frank Woods, referencing the events of 1945. Captain Mason was also very intent on killing him. He said a good friend named Viktor Reznov also wanted him dead. "You know Reznov? He got out of the Arctic?" Kurtz asked Mason as they converged on Baikonur Cosmodrome. "Yeah, wait how do you know him?" asked Mason. "Uh, can't tell you," said Kurtz quickly. Soon enough, the mission changed, and now they had to rescue a compromised sodier named Grigory Weaver. The squad then converged on a two man patrol, where Mason and Woods took the uniforms and split off. Kurtz picked up a SVD from one guard's shoulder and said,"I can provide sniper support and tell you of any activity. Now move! Save Weaver!" Woods and Mason departed to meet up with whiskey team. "Yankee 6-7, come in, we have situation," Woods said to Kurtz. "Roger, they have found the bodies. Proceed to the comms tower. I'll eliminate the snipers," Kurtz said. Fitting a silencer to his SVD, he picked off a few snipers without drawing any attention. Suddenly, he got the signal that his squad had taken the comms tower. He displaced, realizing there were no hostiles in the area, and moved to the tower. After tearing off the silencer, he and Mason then supported whiskey team with the Dragunov and a crossbow. Eventually, when all hostiles were eliminated, Kurtz's squad ziplined in and rescued Weaver. The squad now fought their way to Soyuz 2, where it was destroyed by Mason's Valkeryie Rocket. However, before they could kill Dragovich, he had somehow escaped.

SOG
When the Vietnam War broke out, Kurtz was promoted to command sergeant assigned to Frank Woods's SOG unit. He became the squads designated marksman with his SVD obtained in Baikonur, giving him the title of Captain Dragunov "because he commanded troops like a captain and loved his SVD more than anything," stated by Frank Woods. Kurtz had his first SOG action defending Khe Sahn base camp. By now, Mason had joined as well, and the trio, as well as a man named Joseph Bowman, were good friends. Also accompanying the group was a CIA operative named Jason Hudson, or as Kurtz put it, "the man Woods really hated talking to." As the NVA swarmed Khe Sahn, SOG and Marines in the area managed to push them off.

Following this eventful day was the well known Tet Offensive. NVA had swarmed the Hue City, and Kurtz dropped in with Bowman to meet up with Woods and Mason. Mason was highly intent on retrieving a dossier on Soviet presence from a defector. Eventually Mason found what he was looking for, and Kurtz remarked "Woods, why is Mason talking to himself?" He didn't receive an answer. After calling in an excessive amount of air support, the squad made their way to a landing zone. When they weren't able to leave right away, Kurtz said,"Humph, this is gonna be '45 all over again." Fortunately, he was wrong, as the Navy came in and bombed the area, with the SOG unit escaping just in time.

Eventually, Kurtz was given the mission to retrieve a shipment of Nova-6 from a downed cargo carrier in Laos. He led a large squad of Marines along the Mekong river while his squad drove an armed boat to cover them. Kurtz proceeded to lead large raids on small buildings, wiping out any resistance, which was small because of his squad's boat. When opposition got tough in the river, the boat pulled over and picked up Kurtz, who was given an M202 Flash to help blow up sampans. "Let's blow some shit up!" he yelled. Suddenly, a PT Boat appeared, and Kurtz yelled,"Alright, let's unload on this motherfucker!!!" After about 5 minutes of warfare, the PT went down, but a young marine manning a gun was killed. Kurtz and Woods started to cry a little, but quickly wiped the tears away. Soon enough, after encountering many Viet Cong and Spetsnaz troops, the squad found what they came for, the cargo carrier with the Nova 6. However, the Nova had dispersed after the crash, as the effects were seen on the workers on board. But eventually, enemies were spotted below, and Woods decided to open fire. Kurtz's marksman skills were demonstrated with his SVD, but eventually a few Hinds showed up. The plane crashed into the ground, and Kurtz lay unconscious in the grass. His squadmates were taken away, and it would be another day before Kurtz was found. He is currently presumed MIA in a P.O.W. camp, but his exact location is unknown.
