"Bonecrusher" Kul was working as a sideshow freak in Albert Diddle's Traveling Circus and Mercenary Co. When the traveling show came through Baron Sargrimm's territory, the Baron was impressed by Kul's strength and ability to follow orders and promptly nicked him from Mr. Diddle. Furious at this treatment, but unable to do anything about, Diddle was forced to let his prize Ogre go, but not without promising dire consequences by having his gypsy witch perfomr a curse upon the Slashers team and Sargrimm. So far, the curse hasn't borne fruit and Kul has become a major draw for the Slashers as the fans come to see whether he will be the addition the Slashers need or if he will be a big, dumb bust.
