Birth Name: Kamau Zuberi
Sex: Male
Alignment: Face
Age: 19
Height: 5'10''
Weight: 212 lbs
Hometown: Born in Kenya but resides in Trenton, New Jersey
Wrestling style: Curtis uses a mixture of British lucahresu, modern technical style and high flying moves. Curtis also uses his natural athleticism to his advantage and uses it to work his way out of holds.
Physical Description: Curtis is a lean and muscular 5'10'' African-American young man. He tends to wear his hair in tightly packed cornrows. On his right upper arm is a tattoo of his deceased older brother that almost covers his shoulder. He tends to wear brightly coloured ring gear which consists of long wristbands, biker/MMA tights, kneepads and boots complete with kickpads
Entrance Music: Happy by Mudvayne
Entrance Description: As the opening tones of Happy by Mudvayne play over the ACW sound system Marcus bursts from the curtains, a brightly coloured pyro goes off as Curtis hits his closed hand off his chest and raises his arms above his head. He then jogs down to ringside slapping as many fan hands as possible, he then slides into the ring and poses in the corner.
Character History: Marcus Curtis was born Kamau Zuberi in a small settlement in the African country Kenya and to his parents Abidemi and Nsia. He is the youngest of 3 brothers, he was raised in the settlement until two weeks before his fifth birthday, his parents wanted to flee the impending civil war and heard about a large goods ship heading for the promised land of America. Unfortunately during their stowing away Kamau's two older brothers were shot by port police, the eldest was killed instantly, the middle brother was luckily only shot in the leg and managed to get on board. He made a full recovery but the family had to mourn the loss of the eldest brother Ayodele rather than celebrate their escape from the civil war. Upon their arrival they found themselves in New Jersey, they travelled the state for months moving from town to town until they reached the state capital Trenton where the parents found jobs, after realising the difficulty they had getting jobs Kamau's parents decided to legally change the family name to Curtis as it sounded more American and would help their sons be accepted into American society. The newly named Marcus loved his new life in America and was a straight A student during his school years, Marcus was also an all-star athlete, an accomplished track runner and a varsity basketball player, he then heard about amateur wrestling and signed up for classes and quickly advanced in his weight class. Intent on a career in the business Marcus saw a fly poster for Dwight's Gym in ACW and enrolled 15 minutes after his graduation. He took to pro-wrestling very quickly and appeared to be a natural. After 6 months he had far surpassed expectations and was deemed ready for a call-up to the active roster but wasn't called up due to ACW Creative not having any ideas for him, ACW loaned him out to local Indy promotion to gain some more experience whilst creative came up with something for him. After a few months he got the phone call wanted, and is set to debut on ACW Fallout very soon.
