The Man in Maroon (real name Christian Kurt) was born in Lincolnshire, England. He was born in 1982. He is a hit-man hired by an unknown organisation to take down Vlad Petrov due to some drug related issues but also appears to have a hatred against Alfred Lennie. He is also the former lover of Life-Man.

The Man in Maroon was trained in the Royal Manchester Academy for Crime (also attended by Life-Man) and apparently had sword fighting lessons from an unknown Letak Lemons employee.

The Man in Maroon first appeared in June 2003 in Thornton Stationery - Kensington and Chelsea Branch. He attacked multiple employees (Randall Truffleton, Julia Crosston and Tim Crescent) when he tried to get to Vlad but was ultimately chased out by Bernard Smith. Cecil Longstaff later captured him when he spotted him in an alleyway on the phone. Cecil carried him to the K&C offices and let the employees beat him up. The Man in Maroon was thrown in prison.

On October 31st 2004, The Man in Maroon escaped from prison to attack Vlad whilst pretending to be a vampire, however this operation was foiled when Tim Crescent sprayed holy water on him whilst Bernard clobbered him in the spine. He was back sent to prison.

In April 2009, The Man in Maroon was broken out of prison and went to eliminate Vlad. Alfred jumped to Vlad's defence, however, both people appeared to recognise one another and The Man in Maroon maliciously beat him up. Alfred was saved when Denzel Pepper and Randall Truffleton threw a chair at the Man in Maroon, knocking him out.

In July 2010, Riccardo Rodriguez (Bernard Smith's first sensei) visited Bernard with his youngest son, Sergio. The Man in Maroon secretly stole away Sergio in the dead of night to an unknown organisation (possibly called M8). This enraged the duo who followed The Man in Maroon to his hideout where they brutally beat him up and saved Sergio.

In September 2012, The Man in Maroon dueled Jasper Scunthorpe for Vlad's life. Jasper nearly left him with no legs.

In December 2014, The Man in Maroon was seen being broken out of prison by a relative of his, the Person in Purple and the Thugmaster. They were discovered to be working by the Roseate Hit-Man Society (RHS) and appeared at the infamous "Chair Club" event.

In February 2015, The Man in Maroon shot at Vlad through the window with a musket but missed and ran away. A month later he was discovered poisoning the rum dispenser and was thoroughly beaten by Cecil Longstaff before being thrown in prison again.

On the 13th June 2022, a new employee - Asznee Smiley - terrified The Man in Maroon when he tried to murder Vlad.

During the events of Jebidiah Thornton's Revenge, The Man in Maroon revealed to Life-Man (with several Thorntoniers, The Person in Purple and a Thornton Assassin) that he was actually Life-Man's former lover Christian Kurt. Life-Man ended up putting him into a coma after he threatened to burn down his bakery if Life-Man didn't come back with him to Jebidiah Thornton.
