He is under the belief that the Kurs are the superior race and all other life in the galaxy are beneath them. As such he views anything in the galaxy he sets his eyes on as belonging to him and him alone often repeating that sentiment to his victims, to that end he is greed driven to a genocidal degree. Hastur Kur is deeply depraved as when Bamora, a member of the Sumer race he had spent years warmongering against, escaped his grasp and fled to earth with an exosuit, he threatened to her surrogate mother Banga that he would track Bamora to the ends of the cosmos and place her head atop the Sumerian Pyramid. Ontop of that he tortured Banga's comrade infront of her to force her into letting the Kur through a portal to earth.
Despite his arrogance Hastur Kur is capable of acknowledging strong opponents "worthy" of being battle suit vessels for his species as he gave praise to both Ken Takakura's efforts for fighting him and his group aswell as Momo Ayase.
Biography[]

Within this time period Hastur recruited Jet booster into their ranks as they proceeded to spend the century conquering more planets.
On the planet of Sumer, Hastur and the Kur led a multi year long genocide on the planet killing most of their people and enslaving the elderly for labor and to become new exo suits, leaving the women to take up arms. At one point a battalion of Sumerian soldiers led by Banga manage to recapture lead a brief revolution with the remaining Sumerian pyramid with coordinates heading to Earth, however as Bamora is sent through it Hastur confronts captures the remaining battalion and confronts Banga, holding her comrade hostage and forcing her to lead them through the gateway to earth.
Kaiju arc[]
Hastur Kur makes his presence known on earth by raiding a Serponian hideout stealing and rewriting all their data while killing all the clones but Rokuro. Shortly after, Jin Enjoji accidentally sends out a signal from Bamora's exosuit that is retrieved by Hastur Kur deciding to use the opportunity to hunt Bamora and her friends.
Space Globalist arc[]
Hastur Kur first sends his main fleet after Ken Takakura where they engage in battle with him, ultimately leading to their victory as he crushes Takakura's internal organs and has Jet booster Kur retrieve the source of his powers. Before they can take his body with them they are intercepted by Mantis Shrimp and forced into leaving it behind while they depart back to base.
A few days later, Hastur Kur opens the warp gate to enact a full scale alien invasion on earth, and do battle with Momo Ayase, Rokuro, and Bamora. However, Hastur orders Jet booster to restrain Bamora and he forcibly removes her from her exosuit proceeding to impale her in the abdomen.
Rokuro heals Bamora before passing out, and requests Momo to destroy the Hastur and his forces alien' suits, Momo attempts to fight off Hastur using her spiritual abilities to hurl mounds of rubble, but he makes quick work repelling and carving out space from the debris.
Hastur Kur counters Momo’s attacks by turning her psychic rubble against her. Their powers clash when Momo fires her Moe-Moe Tri Beam, and their attacks cancel each other out—confirming for Hastur Kur that Momo is a worthy opponent. Reinforcements soon arrive through the gate, tipping the balance in the Kur’s favor and overwhelming both Momo and Bamora. Just in time, Takakura, Aira, Mr. Mantis Shrimp, and the Evil Eye appear, joining the fight against the Kur invaders.
Hastur Kur aids Jet Booster Exosuit Kur with spatial abilities as he battles Takakura. Momo warns Takakura about the Kur’s powers and helps him avoid being tricked. When Takakura blasts Jet Booster Exosuit Kur away, Hastur Kur steps in, fighting both Momo and Takakura solo and nullifying their attacks. As Momo charges in with a massive amount of controlled rubble, Hastur Kur sends both her and the debris into his dimension. But this proves to be a trap—Momo had planned it all along. She unleashes her Moe-Moe Tri Beam within his dimension, destroying his battle suit from the inside.
Though wounded, Hastur Kur tries to retaliate just as Momo emerges from his damaged suit. Before he can act, Takakura strikes with a powerful, high-speed charge, obliterating the rest of the suit and rescuing Momo. Furious over the destruction of his armor, Hastur Kur hijacks Bamora’s exosuit, activates its Slaughter Mode, and ejects her. As he prepares for battle, he faces Kinta Sakata, who saves Bamora and constructs a mecha using the Ayase household's nanoskin.
Kinta counters the Kur’s attacks by wielding the Tokyo Tower as a weapon, prompting the Kur to retaliate with the Tokyo Skytree, claiming it’s bigger. But Kinta responds that his is better, winning the exchange. Despite the blows, the Kur boasts that the attacks haven’t damaged his new suit, which he now admires for its durability. Using the exosuit’s horns, he destroys Kinta’s mecha and extracts the pilot core containing Kinta and Bamora. As he begins crushing the pod and declaring Earth the Kur’s property, Kinta resists by manipulating the nanoskin.
Unbeknownst to the Kur, Kinta and Bamora have ejected and attached themselves to his back, forming a jetpack that rockets him into the sky before slamming him back down with a powerful powerbomb. The exosuit shuts down from the overwhelming damage, forcing the Kur to emerge, dizzy and weakened from the impact. His current fate remains unknown.
