Curt Vaughan

Curtis "Curt" Vaughan was a Sociology major that persuaded his girlfriend Jules Louden and his friends, Dana Polk, Holden McCrea, and Marty Mikalski to go on a trip to his cousin's cabin in the woods. He nearly awakened Fornicus by trying to solve the spherical puzzle he found in the cellar. His designated role was "The Athlete," so during his stay in the cabin he was chemically altered in order to become more like a jock.

After the death of Jules Louden by the Buckner Family, he attempts to lead the others to safety. This plan is thwarted, however, with the collapse of the tunnel. Curt decides instead to jump across the canyon on his motorbike. This attempt leads to his death as he hits the forcefield and then plummets down into the canyon.

Curt is handsome and charismatic young man playing college football, which explains why the technicians thought he would be the guy to be "The Athlete". Despite this, Curt's personality is awfully different from typical versions of this archetype. Curt is not a selfish, sexist alpha male. He is actually a very intelligent young man studying sociology on an academic scholarship. He has also shown to be very insightful, nice, and supportive of his friends.

Curt is 18 year old Caucasian male with blue eyes dirty blond hair and is 6’3”. He is well built and muscular. He is athletic but also smart and kind.
