History: In contrast to Jimmy's narcissism and jealousy, Curly was an honorable, compassionate, and highly intelligent captain, completely dedicated to his crew and their responsibilities. As captain of the Tulpar, he was deeply respected and well-liked by his crew, maintaining close relationships with all of them. Curly always strove to be a rational and responsible, yet caring leader, even when interpersonal conflicts or poor working conditions affected morale. Despite his passion for being a great captain, he expresses dissatisfaction with it, as he wanted to strive for other things after being at the top of the ladder for so long. However, while he was ambitious and strived for more, it is made clear that he is reliable and would never leave his crew behind for such a reason.

His only flaw was that he was perhaps too kind, even to those who did not always deserve it. His tendency to be the better person, give others the benefit of the doubt, and avoid confrontation or punishment played a key role in the game's central conflict. When he learns that Jimmy impregnated Anya, likely against her will given the fear and discomfort Anya was expressing around him, Curly opts not to reprimand Jimmy directly. Instead, he attempts to smooth things over with Jimmy first, despite Jimmy's clear lack of remorse and deteriorating mental state. In doing so, Curly neglects Anya's feelings and ultimately leaves Jimmy in a position to deliberately hijack and crash the ship.

Following the crash, Curly unfortunately suffers from severe mental disorders, as he is left incapacitated and horribly mutilated, in constant pain. As a result, he begins to lose his sanity, often seen crying in agony or laughing mirthlessly due to the tragedy of his situation and the horrors that had been unfolding around him.
