- “She was... She was my love... She danced... for me...”
- ―Count Kurskov[src]
Kurskov was a count and wizard owner of the Blinnikov World Ballet Corps.[1]
Biography
Sometime prior to 1890, Kurskov became obsessed with the Prima Ballerina and believed that she loved him and danced for him alone. The dancer fell in love with another man, Stefan, and the two met secretly, fearing the repercussions of Kurskov if he ever found out about their relationship.[1]
Kurskov eventually found the two together; in a jealous rage, he pulled the girl out of time, out of any reality beyond his theater, his company. He swore she would dance for him forever, and the spell he cast kept her bound to his personal realm within the company, cursed to dance not only the same play for all eternity, but the exact same performance.[1]
In 2002, Angel intended to break the spell and searched for Kurskov's power center. He found the Prima Ballerina waiting in the wings, resigned to perform the same dance, and told her that, to weaken the magic holding her prisoner, she had to change the dance. She danced on stage using her own steps. Angel attacked the Count, guessed his power center was in a medallion the count wore, and smashed it with a powerful punch, finally releasing the ballet dancers from the spell.[1]
