===Background===
Kurt was a founding member<ref name=":15">[[King]]<br/><br/>[[Screamer]]<br/><br/>[[Harbinger]]<br/><br/>[[Breed]]<br/><br/>[[Crimson]]<br/><br/>[[Gray Boy]]<br/><br/>[[Nyx]]<br/><br/>[[Psychosoma]]<br/><br/>There were ten of each in various glass chambers. The original members. - [[Interlude 25]]</ref> of the [[Slaughterhouse Nine]] under [[King]], who chose the first cape name for the boy.<ref name="I21 e5332">“A ''reputation''.  Don’t tell me you don’t feel like there is something bigger, something better.  You call yourself ''Harbinger''.  That’s all about the things to come.”<br/><br/>“His name for me, not mine,” Harbinger said. - [https://parahumans.wordpress.com/2013/04/27 Excerpt] from [[Interlude 21.x]]</ref> As Harbinger, he would fight alongside [[Jacob]].

Kurt and Jacob killed King in 1987. They were both around twelve at the time,<ref name="SV27">I have it written down somewhere, but I had it down that they were no older than twelve, IIRC. Might have been twelve. - [https://forums.sufficientvelocity.com/posts/4279862 Wildbow on Sufficient Velocity]</ref> opening the way for Jacob to reshape the King's group to his purposes.<ref name=":2"/> Kurt would leave the group and take up a new cape name that aligned with Jack Slash's paradigms concerning such.

The Number Man would join Cauldron at some point prior to May 1, 1988.<ref>[https://parahumans.wordpress.com/2012/11/08 Excerpt] from [[Interlude 15.z]]</ref> He didn't operate in the field.<ref name=":4"/>

At some point Kurt disabled [[Andrew Richter]]'s "Robin Hood" program, which had been stealing money and funneling it to the [[Dragonslayers]].<ref>Richter's programs had continued to defraud organized crime, emptying bank accounts here and there.  Another agency, which Saint now knew to be the Number Man, had eventually stopped the Robin Hood A.I., but not before it had filled the Dragonslayer's coffers. - [[Interlude 26.x]]</ref>
